| Reference: Radioactive Reference information: Radioactive lightning rods do exist. The extreme of the lightning rod consists of a metalic sphere that is radioactive. It will ionize the air that surrounds it thus favoring the conduction of electricity through air. The lightning discharge will follow. This radioactivity does not present a health risk as the sphere is way up on the rooftop. Lightning does not carry an "e", if it had it would mean that it was lighter, a lighter rod, or not heavy. |
