This Technique Will Change Lightning Rods Forever

Lightning is a terrifying powerful phenomenon that causes significant damage, kills many people hiking every year, and starts forest fires which are devastating to the environment. Recent research has demonstrated that it is possible to use lasers to extend the reach of lightning rods and guide lightning to strike where we want it to. In this video, I briefly discuss how this works and why adding lasers to lightning rods may be the future of this technology.
