Copper Lightning Arrested Rod

Copper Lightning Arrested Rod is a metal rod or metallic object mounted on top of an elevated structure, such as a Building a ship, or even a  tree, Electrically Bonded using a wire or Electrical Conductor to interface with Ground OR Earth through an Electrode, engineered to protect the structure in the event of lighting strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through the wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.
