[TCML] lightning protection and conductors

[John Darwin Powers <jdp3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a note of interest ... the best job of lightning protection I  
have seen can be found at a SSBN base.  They have buildings that are  
used to load missiles, and they basically build an "electrical  
building" around the service building housing the sub and the  
procedure.  Find a picture and take a look.

Also, has anyone used liquid conductors for high voltage, high  
current applications.  It would seem that a liquid filled conductor,  
constructed out of the same material that you would find in your  
copper plumbing would work very well, or if not copper pipe, then  
reinforced Tygon or PVC tube filled with the liquid.  Don't remember  
for sure, but I think that the liquid was a copper sulfate solution.
