Introducing a video of the installation of a lightning rod for lightning strike suppression on a deep Earth exploration vessel!
We have delivered lightning protection rods for lightning suppression to the deep-sea exploration vessel "Chikyu," owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. The PDCE lightning rod, installed on a 120m tall derrick, forms a barrier that completely covers the vessel (length 210m), preventing lightning strikes within its range. This ensures that "Chikyu" is always protected from lightning strikes, no matter where it conducts research on Earth.

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.
