Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents evidence and analysis of how naval ships can be protected from lightning, a topic which, in its day, perplexed the naval community as it continued to destroy ships and take lives. Working with facts from naval records regarding past lightning strikes to Her Majesty's… vessels, the author first unveils the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of standard lightning protection protocols of the time. The author then shares detailed case studies and scientific reasoning to support an extensive analysis of a new solution: permanently installed lightning conductors. Through meticulous study of historical reports alongside his own extensive research, the author demonstrates that these conductors protect ships from lightning strikes when correctly applied to masts and incorporated with the hull's metallic composition. Anecdotes from officers on struck vessels illustrate the immediate protection offered by these conductors, halting an otherwise explosive reaction of lightning, preventing the accompanying fires and damage, and, in turn, saving lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
