Ionization cluster tree having tiers of spline ball ionizers

摘要

Ionization clusters have a plurality of ionization points which act to dissipate lightning charges into the air and prevent a lightning strike. A tree-like structure has a central support tower. One ionization cluster is mounted to the top of the tower. Successive arrays of second, third and N tiers of ionization clusters are mounted to the tower. The resultant tree-like structure forms a bell-shaped force field of equal voltage potential during a lightning storm. The force field dissipates a lightning strike.
