lightning conductor
A lightning conductor, also known as a lightning rod, is a device used to protect buildings and structures from damage caused by lightning strikes. It is typically a metal rod or wire installed on the highest point of a building and connected to the ground through a wire. This allows for a controlled route for the lightning to follow, leading the electrical charge safely to the ground and preventing it from passing through the structure and potentially causing a fire or other damage.
