How can outdoor tents be lightning protected?
1. the choice of lightning is based first on the height of the conductor and between several conductors, and it hits the highest. In addition, as the lightning is usually on rainy days, both the rod and the aluminum rod, the fabric of the tent is made of conductor due to wet water.Therefore, in the attraction of lightning, more are determined by height rather than account pole material.
How to set up the tent of lightning outdoors, the main or location choice, many people will feel the tent material will affect the lightning attracting successively, but in fact it has attracted lightning is composed of highly decided, the conductor is high, the first hit by lightning. So, when building tents, try to choose places where the terrain is slightly lower. At the same time, you should avoid camping near the top, or you'll be hit by an arc
The damage of lightning mainly comes from two aspects: 1 is direct chopping, and 2 is high voltage arc.To avoid direct split, simple principle is not to become the region's most easily split high stand head and shoulders above others.The arc is the discharge of air caused by the high voltage of lightning. After hitting an object, the arc will cause an arc in the vicinity of the object. Therefore, when you do not become a high point, you should avoid camping near the high point, or you will be hit by an arc.Therefore, the ideal way is to choose the overall topography and vegetation height of the bottom, and can and tall plants or buildings to keep a certain distance from camp.
