New lightning strike countermeasures! Lightning rods that suppress lightning strikes.
The "PDCE" is a lightning rod that suppresses lightning strikes by generating a negative electrode at the top of the building, completely opposite to the conventional lightning rod concept, and preventing discharge from this lightning rod. Since it utilizes charges induced in the ground, no power supply is required. Additionally, it complies with building codes and can replace traditional lightning rods. 【Features】 ■ No power supply required ■ Minimal maintenance costs and effort ■ Complies with building codes ■ Over 3,300 units installed in Japan *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

PDC E Lightning Rod vs. Standard Lightning Rod [PDC E News No. 6 May 2018 Announcement]
A field test was conducted over six years in Fukura Town, Aomori Prefecture, to investigate how much less likely PDCE lightning rods are to be struck by lightning compared to conventional lightning rods. The result was "11 to 0." The conventional lightning rod was struck by lightning 11 times and its tip melted, while the PDCE remained unscathed. Indoor discharge experiments according to French standards were conducted multiple times, confirming a clear difference, but this time the test was conducted on a mountain facing the Sea of Japan, where there are strong winter lightning strikes.
