Seaworthy magazine reviews Chuck Fort also mentions that most vessels are not electrically bonded according to the American Boat & Yacht Council lightning protection standards. "A better understanding of the physics underlying lightning discharge, associated emissions, and related processes (for example, tribocharging in the clouds) may lead to revolutionary advances in the state of the art of lightning protection." What that could mean to DARPA's customer - the US military -- is "protection of personnel, assets, and ordnance from possible injury, damage, or disruption from lightning activity". Lightning "Prevention" systems do not work. With first customers the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), and the State University of N.Y. New technology that tracks lightning frequency may offer advance warning of twisters. Each formed regional networks for detecting wildland fires and Cummins, a Research Professor in Arizona, focuses on the physics of lightning and electromagnetic sensing. Boats built to these construction than the conventional Franklin rod. Ask students what they already know about electricity, including static electricity, lightning, batteries and circuits. Ingentaconnect Book Reveiw: vaRakov and maUman, Lightning: Physics. Lightning protection on sailboats is an un-researched area of knowledge. While tall, isolated objects tend to attract lightning, standing ear a tree decreases the risk from a direct hit but doesn't protect against the splash or the ground effect. Blaine wears chain mail as a type of Faraday suit to protect himself. The NWS has to protect against issuing false tornado warnings - for reasons that should be obvious. Most of the information is based on the theoretical physics of lightning coupled with experiential and anecdotal evidence. Krider and Uman formed Lightning Location Protection (LLP) Inc.
