In taking a fresh look at the science and practice of lightning protection, we have become convinced of three critical points:

Sometimes, creating a better solution requires a totally new approach to the problem.

A radical re-thinking of lightning protection has become urgently necessary.

Traditional lightning protection solutions were designed to protect analog age equipment and are dramatically insufficient in a digital world.

The design and oversight of lightning protection systems worldwide has become dangerously out of date.

take an in depth look at lightning protection

It's not the number of devices you put in the ground that optimizes your level of protection. What matters is the systems's ability to manage and properly disperse the full range of surge current frequencies that happen in a lightning event. This is why traditional methods are outdated and can easily become ineffective and ultimately, very dangerous.

It's not the quantity but the quality that makes all the difference.

By applying advanced principles of physics, some unexpected materials, and a determination to change the status quo, we developed a system that can easily dissipate the hunter-killer pulses of energy (like lightning) that destroy the electronics upon which we depend. By comparison, deploying traditional systems of lightning protection will leave critical circuitry in mortal danger.
