So worrying about that is kind of silly I think, when you know an ungrounded mast is big trouble if it ever does get hit." The grounded tower catch the electrons in form of "electron conveyer belt" and lightning. If the "belt" is efective enough no lightnings. All local exces of electrons from the cloud flow without lightning. If no the lightning appears but it is weak (the sum of electrons is the same). The strike in the ungrouded tower is always strong. So You are right. S* no, that is not right. a grounded tower can not dissipate enough charge to reduce the stroke intensity. towers actually attract MORE high current strokes than the surrounding ground. Well, Szechuan obviously hasn't figured out which way the belt is pumping electrons, so it's not surprising he's wrong. He also doesn't understand anything of the physics involved, either, so none of his nonsensical answers should be a surprise. tom K0TAR* |
