Hi Bruce,
the second link is a lot more informative than the first...
But it still doesn't really address the idea of a puddle over a lightning rod that's 14 inches into the ground under the puddle...
it doesn't really say if the lightning will discharge electricity so that the puddle...
Thanks for the links.
For awhile there I thought this was a joke site...
experts can always be found for any point of view. So making them the reference point as opposed to physical laws... well, it was pretty funny.
I'm not worried about someone washing their hands in a sink... it's that...
I have two lightning rods. One is at the highest point on my roof and has a pointed tip and is attached to a thick piece of copper that goes 8 feet into the ground. That one makes me feel safe.
But the one attached to my solar array is horizontal in a 14 inch deep trench in the ground...
Okay, Belliott, that's pretty interesting. That's exactly not what the electrician said who put in my pointed lightning rod.
What do you think about the lightning rod in the trench?
is it dangerous to people standing over it during lightning?
Or did I not understand your post?
question about my lightning rod...
Hi,
I have two lightning rods... one is pointed and on top of my roof and attached to an 8 foot length of copper that's driven into the earth. I like that one.
The other was placed horizontally in a 14 inch trench under my solar panel array... It's right...
