Benign liquid battery technology capable of being charged by a lightning strike.




With advances in battery composition and capacitance someday we might see the return of the lightning rods. Every house will have a large pipe you could buy at a hardware store for less than one hundred dollars, it would have a basis of benign chemical battery technology at its anchoring and grounding base that would be charged when lightning hit the lightning rod. The “IRONY” is that the person whose place got struck by lightning would be the lucky one. As they could sell that energy to the electric company and their house would not be destroyed as the lightning hit the rod and charged the battery instead.
