Development of lightning rod for lightning protection standard in Europe, especially in Czech lands
Original language description
The article offers not only a comparison of the efficiency and size of the protective zone of the first lightning rod by means of a computer model and contemporary mathematical and computing methods (method of the rolling sphere and the apex angle method), but it also highlights the unique social milieu in which Diviš developed his initial idea. It was an interplay of dogmatic religious scholastics and rational enlightenment in physics and natural sciences that was eventually conducive to the construction of one of the first devices for the protection against direct lightning impact. In their article, the authors also examine the transfer of knowledge on the protection against lightning impact from and to the Czech lands. A key approach to the protection against lightning was correct understanding and assessment of lightning charge, an analysis of the contact tip phenomenon and many issues relating to electrostatic phenomena. Seen in a historical perspective, the Czech lands had establ
