they say are Aunt Teek's whoever that is. And once in a while some guys in suits will come and get their pictures taken by one of the old cars. I don't know why they are like real old from the 50's or something. Anyway, my job is just to watch the warehouse if someone want's to come look at Aunt Teek's things which is not very often. SO I was there by myself and bored and someone told me if you pour gas all over something it will catch everything on fire and I didn't believe them and so I decided to experiment and well they were right. And it burned down the warehouse and all Aunt Teek's stuff but it was a mistake I won't get fired for a mistake will I?
Electricity will take the path of least resistance. That is why the lightening rods work. The path of least resistance is through the rod and wire to the ground.
Actually, a lightning rod is supposed to bring the continuity of the Earth, onto the roof of the building, thus making the same polarity as the Earth, and make lightning not want to strike it. But, if the lightning is bolting to the ground, then the ground must have a polarity that is conductive to the pressure of the lightning strike and condusive to receiving the ions that are transferred from air to ground. So, if you have a negative resistance and a positive force, then the positive force will go to the negative resistance, and with the lightning rod going to ground, it makes the entire building the same resistance as the ground. It will convey the juice to the ground. As lightning has been known to strike all kinds of metal objects and not melt them, but travel along them to the Earth ground, via pole, wire or any other thing that happens to make a pathway to the Earth. I wish you well.. Jesse
Sounds about right. If my loved ones were burning alive in a building and the fire couldn't get there fast enough because of a car parked in front of the hydrant
What you imagine as draining off static is precisely what lightning IS. Air is not a particularly conductive mediumso any drainage would actually be a sizable spark. In fact a lightning rod is meant to encourage such dischargesthere is a strong electric field around the point of the rod. A 1 thick piece of aluminum can support quite a bit of current for a short time without vaporizing. Plenty of electrons there to do the job.
its so because the lightening caused on a rainy day or whenever , is charged and can cause harm to any humanbeing or your house or any other applaince of your home. so through lightening rod, that flowing charge or current passes into that rod which acts as a conductor (rod) and actually connected to earth and passes that charge to earth saving all the things. thankyou,have a nice time.
