Early Streamer Emitter Lightning Rod

Lightning rods with ELLIPS ® and PARATON@IR ® initiation device

The early streamer emitter lightning rod Paraton@ir® creates the optimal conditions to generate a supernatural ascending tracer before another natural ascending tracer picks up the surrounding lightning.

The action occurs in 3 stages:

the three phases of a direct lightning impact

1. Paraton@ir ® takes care of:

The element called “charger” is designed to accumulate natural ions in the “Central Inductive System” (patented).
This accumulation occurs as quickly and in the same proportions as the rise in power of the ambient electric field generated by an ascending tracer.

 

2. Paraton@ir ® creates an electric field of considerable magnitude: 

At the same time, thanks to the “Central Inductive System” and the “Booster”, the early streamer emitter lightning rod Paraton@ir® creates a gigantic electric field with a charge opposite to that of the natural electric field present and stimulates the “Capture Head”.
Depending on their number, the “triggering poles” increase the effectiveness of priming tenfold.

 

 

3. Collection and conduction by the Paraton@ir ® lightning rod:

Booting the system Paraton@ir®  attracts the descending tracer and creates the conditions for “lightning strike”. The capture tip then guides the lightning current through its axis towards the grounding conductors.
