Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents evidence and analysis of how naval ships can be protected from lightning, a topic which, in its day, perplexed the naval community as it continued to destroy ships and take lives. Working with facts from naval records regarding past lightning strikes to Her Majesty's vessels, the author first unveils the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of standard lightning protection protocols of the time. The author then shares detailed case studies and scientific reasoning to support an extensive analysis of a new solution: permanently installed lightning conductors. Through meticulous study of historical reports alongside his own extensive research, the author demonstrates that these conductors protect ships from lightning strikes when correctly applied to masts and incorporated with the hull's metallic composition. Anecdotes from officers on struck vessels illustrate the immediate protection offered by these conductors, halting an otherwise explosive reaction of lightning, preventing the accompanying fires and damage, and, in turn, saving lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332866175_0
