Florida is the state where lightning strikes, and it is more than twice. With summer bringing multiple thunderstorms weekly the chances for tree damage are quite possible. Lightning protection systems ...

A carbon fiber tip offering lightning strike protection for wind turbine blades has been developed by researchers at the U.S. DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The blade tip, which is being ...

Japanese firms have developed the world’s first lightning-triggering and guidance system using flying drones, according to reports translated from Japanese sources. Developed by The Nippon Telegraph ...

Swiss physicists have achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough in lightning control using laser beams, which could lead to advanced lightning protection systems for critical infrastructure such as ...

Scientists in the Emirates have developed a novel lightning mast layout that reportedly eliminates shading effect on PV panels. The proposed approach also addresses earth grid requirements under ...

What steps can be taken to mitigate lightning strikes on future aircraft designs? This is what a recent study published in IEEE Access hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated new ...

It’s a safe bet that lightning is going to strike twice around Vipin Kumar. In fact, he makes sure it does – every time he tests new technology to protect sky-high wind turbine blades. As a researcher ...

Dinnteco America, aleader in lightning protection technology, announced today its latest solution for the marine, military, energy and transportation industries – the Electromagnetic Charge ...

Positive charges distributed in the air are concentrated near the conventional air-termination, so positive polarity lightning of the same polarity avoids the positive charges and possibly strike the ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...
