Now we are getting a little ridiculous. if lightening will jump thousands of feet, what in the world would make you think that a little bit if metal such as a tent pole would attract it away from where it was headed in the first place? Youre talking about hundreds of thousands of volts, if not more. You think that fiberglass wouldnt conduct electricity at that kind of voltage and current? Please :) B |

The path that lightning takes is from the bottom up.Or so I once
read.Lightning puts millions of tons of nitrogen into the air.A lot of the bulk of trees is nitrogen.We are breathing in some nitrogen every time we take a breath of air.And oxygen and neon and dust and other thingys too. cuhulin |

(I know , very little) grin. I'm pretty sure most people realize that the Empire State Building has been hit by lightning and yet is still there. I live in one of the worst places in the world for lightning. I have had battery powered equipment explode, and a SVGA monitor killed during a storm. It was not only off, the cables were wrapped around the base because I was rearranging my computer desk when it started. The building had no windows, yet some of the strikes were so close that the flashes lit it up like the noonday sun. I also felt the static charge when several of them hit the marsh behind the radio shack. The thunder was knocking equipment off the shelves, as well. The news reported over 15,000 strikes during that storm, and I was at the center of it. But, as they say, if ya gotta explain it... Then it wasn't funny, or its so old that the Social Security office has lost its paperwork. In the meanwhile, try to lighten up a bit--it's better for your health. You might think lightning is funny, but around here you hear news stories of people being hit because they didn't take it seriously. People run and hide under trees, play golf in the rain, and do other stupid things, and die from it. If you want to join them, its your choice, but down make others think that lightning isn't serious business. T have seen chucks of concrete blown out of buildings from direct strikes. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

One time when I was in Florida, I was gassing up my raggity old van at a
gas station.There was a golf course right across the highway.An elderly guy in his golf cart drove across the highway to buy a cold soda pop.There was a golf club in his golf bag that had an electric lamp cord taped to the handle of that golf club.He said it is his electric golf club.

Youre talking about hundreds of thousands of volts, if not more. You think that fiberglass wouldnt conduct electricity at that kind of voltage and current? Please :) B The issue is not whether the fiberglass pole would conduct better or worse than the metal pole, but rather, the issue is where the discharge originates. There are multiple phases of a lightening strike. Two significant phases, the visible ones, are the leader stroke and the return stroke. The leader stroke is from cloud to sky. It's often not visible, or obscured by the return blast. The leader stroke will strike an object, and often, but not always, create an ionized path that will facilitate the return stroke. It's the return stroke that contains the Wrath of God energy. And the return stroke originates at the surface and moves from ground to sky. The leader stroke, like all electrical phenomena, seek the path of least resistance to ground. Height and conductivity will matter most, here. If there is a high object of relative conductivity, the leader stroke will move there. Living tissue, owing to the solutes within it's fluids, will have a greater conductivity, and/or break down resistive materials under heavy voltage more readily than a fiberglass pole. So, the use of fiberglass is often, but not always, an effective measure of safety where electrical storms are an issue, because an ionized path can be created more readily elsewhere with much lower electric field strength. A metal pole, however, presents a number of electrical advantages to both the leader stroke and the return blast. Among them, besides the obvious enhanced conductivity while in contact with the ground, is the high curvature at the top end of the pole. High curvature on a conductor concentrates the electric field flux offering a dramatically much easier release of current than a flat object. This is why users of a Van De Graaf generator note a corona discharge around the heads of tacks, points of pins, and the like. A metal pole, stuck in the ground offers an enormous level of electric activity that should a potential develop, a discharge would happen at a much lower potential. Making both leader stroke and a return blast more likely than with a fiberglass pole should conditions develop. It also means that many such strokes may be dissipated before they can become dangerous by releasing electrons through corona discharge at points of high curvature. This is how lightning rods work. But in the case of metal tent poles, the ground system is random, not engineered for efficiency, and poles of even height are often too few in number to offer sufficient corona release to forestall a stroke. So, a metal pole becomes more dangerous than a fiberglass pole when conditions are right for lightning to occur. |

About three or four something years ago, I saw an interesting article on the internet about Ice Lightning, or maybe it was Lightning Ice.Something about (I think) Ice crystals have something to do with Lightning.It might have been at www.livescience.com where I read that article. cuhulin |
