PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which induces lightning from the other object to a point which is prepared and set beforehand, and which is endurable to a large current caused by the lightning. SOLUTION: The lightning induction is carried out because the discharge initiation voltage of a discharge electrode is reduced more than that of a neighboring object by positively enhancing an ion pair concentration in the surrounding air of a discharge electrode while attention is paid to a phenomenon that discharge between electrodes in the air is influenced by the ion pair concentration existing in the air. As for a means to enhance the ion pair concentration, ionization actions by radioactive rays of radionuclides, their compounds and substances containing them are mainly used. The device is an insulator and composed of ceramic having sufficient mechanical strength, and attached to the discharge electrode. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
