Tom....I'd be surprised if the Pope didn't acknowledge that ALL the Bible
versions are probably correct... to some degree.
So much dissension....It's almost as if a method or product must be absolutely
preventive before it can have any value at all. Reducing the risk of a strike
is a good thing, isn't it? So far, the claims I've seen for spiderballs and
similar products and methods are NOT that they absolutely prevent a strike,
merely that they can reduce the risk. I haven't seen anyone or anything (yet)
that claims the risk of a strike can be reduced to zero.
Where I think the claims do go off-track is where they attempt to "prove" their
efficacy by describing how they work. I don't think anyone completely
understands HOW they work, but that doesn't mean they don't work... to some
degree.

Dave,
I'm confused.
Why would NASA use them on their launch sites when they
published a paper saying they don't work? K1TTT published a
link to those papers.
If NASA does use them, why did they never put them on their
wind generator projects or mention them in the article link
I posted?
I know lightning makes some success claims, but they sell
the things. Relying on them for unbiased fact is like asking
the Pope what Bible is correct.
