Lightning conductor
Lightning conductor on a school tower. This device protects tall or isolated buildings from lightning strikes by providing an easier path for the current to flow to earth than through the building. The conductor consists of a metal strip, usually copper, of very low resistance connected to the ground below. A good connection to the ground is essential and is made by burying a large metal plate deep into earth that is muddy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a lightning conductor mounted on a school tower. This ingenious device serves as a safeguard for tall or isolated buildings, protecting them from the destructive power of lightning strikes. By providing an alternative path for the electric current to flow directly into the earth, it prevents potential damage that could be caused by the lightning passing through the building. The lightning conductor featured in this image is constructed using a metal strip, typically made of copper due to its low resistance properties. This ensures that electricity can easily travel through it and safely reach the ground below. To establish an effective connection with the earth, a large metal plate is buried deep into muddy soil. With its impressive blend of physics and technology, this preventative measure exemplifies how science can be harnessed to mitigate natural hazards. The presence of such advanced safety measures highlights our commitment to ensuring physical security in educational institutions and other vulnerable structures. As we admire this remarkable piece of engineering, let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its vital role in safeguarding lives and property against one of nature's most powerful forces: lightning strikes.
