This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word lightning conjures up many different thoughts, depending on who you are. For instance, an engineer might wonder, "How can I protect this building?" A computer manager might ask, "What protection is available to save my equip ment?" A golf course manager wants to warn golfers about life-saving measures to take during a lightning storm. And on and on the needs go. In fact, the variety of backgrounds of people who need to understand lightning, its effects, and pro tection techniques ranges from the highly technical to the illiterate, creating a very difficult educational problem for the lightning protection industry. In this book, Marvin Frydenlund presents a refreshingly new melding of the many pieces of the lightningjigsaw puzzle that are scattered throughout numerous libraries, magazine and newspaper articles, codes, standards, statistics, research, and the enormous body of information called "old wives' tales, myths, opinions, and snake oil sales literature." He has created a broad-spectrum review of the en tire field oflightning that is easy to read and understand, and it will benefit anyone who wants to study and comprehend the subject.

Download or read book Lightning Protection for Historic Structures written by Charles Elbert Fisher and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preservation Brief 50 The loss of historic buildings as a result of lightning strikes makes local front page news every year. Lightning strikes make no distinction between historic properties and other types of structures. Historic barns, churches, museums, homes, stores, factories, lighthouses, schools, and other buildings, as well as structures such as tall monuments, may be at unnecessary risk of damage or loss as a result of a strike by lightning. The insurance industry reports that 5% of all claims are lightning-related in the U.S., with annual building damage estimated as high as $1 billion according to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Certain types of structures are especially susceptible to damage, particularly churches where lightning accounts for nearly one-third of all church-building fires each year. This Preservation Brief, part of the Renovation & Historic Preservation resources collection produced by the US Department of Interior, National Park Service, (Technical Preservation Services) is designed for owners, property managers, architects, contractors, and others involved in the preservation of historic structures. It includes information on the care, maintenance, and repair of historic and older lightning protection systems; discusses factors to consider in assessing the need for a lightning protection system where none exists; and includes historic preservation guidance on the design and installation of new systems.

Book excerpt: Ask Tom Why is a collection of articles originally written by Tom Skilling for his Chicago Tribune column of the same name. Skilling, who is WGN-TV's chief meteorologist, answers questions covering all topics pertaining to weather, the sky, and our environment. Split into three sections, the book covers storms and inclement weather; the sun, moon, and sky; and temperature — all expressed with the authority and accuracy of Chicago's favorite meteorologist. Skilling's nearly forty years in the meteorology field make him one of the most trusted voices in a city known for its erratic weather. From the mundane to the anomalous, Skilling explains all things weather in a way that is easy for readers of any age to understand. Ask Tom Why is the first collection of its kind, and a fantastic read for weather enthusiasts, and anyone who grew up reading, listening, and watching Tom Skilling.

Download or read book Lightning Engineering: Physics, Computer-based Test-bed, Protection of Ground and Airborne Systems written by Paul Hoole and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a contemporary and comprehensive overview of the physics of lightning and protection systems, based on nearly 40 years of research, teaching, and consultancy work in this area. The book begins with an overview of the climatology of lightning and electric storms, as well as giving insight into lightning discharge from the preliminary discharges or processes such as corona, stepped leader, and subsequent return strokes, including the important submicrosecond threats and continuous current. The subsequent chapters present measures of lightning threat analysis to aircraft and electric power systems, protection measures to be used in high-voltage to low-voltage computer and communication systems, as well as to commercial and domestic buildings. The book discusses challenges posed by the submicrosecond lighting current changes and climate change to present and future high-voltage apparatus and structures (including carbon composite aircraft and new buildings) exposed to lightning strikes. Including worked examples, illustrations, and detailed analysis, Lightening Engineering will be of interest to electrical engineers, as well as researchers and graduate students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Congressional letter, dated June 30, 2004, to the Comptroller General expressed concern that the federal government may not have a uniform approach to protecting its facilities from lightning strikes. As a result, Congress requested a GAO study on issues related to whether the federal government should adopt a uniform standard for lightning protection systems. We selected four agencies for this study--the General Services Administration (GSA), the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), and the Department of Defense (DOD). These agencies hold over 80 percent (in terms of square footage) of the government's owned and leased property. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) to what extent these selected federal agencies use applicable lightning protection standard(s) to help protect buildings they own from lightning strikes; (2) how these selected federal agencies assess the need for lightning protection systems on their buildings; (3) what practices and lightning protection standard(s) the General Services Administration uses when leasing privately owned buildings; and (4) what data exist related to the financial impact of lightning protection and damage to the federal government, such as the number of buildings with lightning protection systems, the costs associated with installing lightning protection systems, and the costs to repair buildings struck by lightning.

APPENDIXES Appendix I.--RULES CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF LIGHTNING RODS Below are given some of the rules and recommendations concerning the installation and maintenance of lighting rods that have been adopted by various authorities or technical organizations in England, Germany, and the United States. They are given here as examples of what the various organizations referred to regard as the best practice in protection against lightning. A. ENGLAND THE PHOENIX FIRE OFFICE RULES" FOR LIGHTNING RODS IDEAL METHOD OF PROTECTION In the report issued by the Lightning Research Committee in 1905, it is pointed out that lightning discharges are of two distinct characters, named the A and B flash, respectively. The A flash is of simple type; it can be prevented, or its violence diminished, by the silent discharge which goes on during a storm from various points of a building. Its path is prepared beforehand by ordinary electrostatic considerations, and it strikes pointed conductors in preference to others. The usual system of two or more conductors, if properly constructed, affords sufficient protection against a flash of this kind. The B flash is a disruptive discharge of much greater suddeness, which falls on a building without preparation; it may strike the building in several places at once, and is no more likely to select points than knobs. A column of hot air, like that of a chimney, is the path most favored by this kind of discharge. Points are no protection against it; the only way to obtain absolute security is to inclose the structure in a metal framework, constituting what has been described as the "bird-cage" system of conductors. In a modification of this system for an ordinary building a sufficient practical...
