I've seen several posts in the past praising the virtues
of 'porcupines' to 'drain off charge' before a strike can
occur. I've also seen at least as many claim it is all
bunk. I must admit it seems reasonable, but not if a
lightning rod 'attracts' strikes. I have no background
here - just a software guy! Does anyone know where
I can find out about any studies, etc. to what the
scoop is?
