[Tony]

All:

I came across this video from Nott Ltd that describes how their static 
discharge arrays or "Porcupines" help disapate static electricity to 
prevent lightning strikes.

I understand they are used in several industries including 
communications towers and was wondering if anyone has experience with 
them. Installation is easy enough, but I wonder how this work work with 
crank-ups?
