i was injured in 2003,my back was broken and my leg was crushed-shortly after the company fired me due to the fact that i could no longer perform my job duties-i was still under medical care,shortly after workers comp also cut me off.I have a pending law suit against them and ninah foundries,but i am trying to search for their past violations of the americans with disablities act,to see if they have a history of this,considering the fact that so many people die and are severly injured at daltons foundries in warsaw,indiana.they have hired a major firm and are trying to bury my lawyer and i with money,they are also owned ultimately by citi-group,the bank.Any help,or info regarding this matter would be so appreciated.
maybe but you will be cold!
Not safe, maybe fun. You would need spiked tires - and stay out of traffic.
Install 4 small metal spikes on the 4 corners of the shed and connect them with insulated copper wire. Bury the ground rod deeply into the ground as close to the shed as possible and connect the wire to this rod. Lightning rods do *not* direct lightning away when it strikes a structure. The purpose of a lightning rod is to bleed charge from the ground via the ground-rod and wire to the lightning-rod tip. This charge literally leaks off the tip of the rod and is intended to be attracted to the area of greatest potential up into the clouds nearby, thus neutralizing them in a sense. That's the simple explanation. If the charge neutralizes the potential between the clouds and the ground (which is essentially a giant capacitor) then the likelihood for a discharge decreases. This is what the rods purpose is. Most people (I think) think as you do, that the lightning is suppose to strike the rod, and follow the wiring into the ground thus saving the structure. However, you're talking millions of volts and enormous amounts of current. there's no way on this planet that any wiring you install will carry this current or change the direction of this kind of power..nope nope nope.
