Follow up on a #ecotrain post (part 2)

Hi Steemian how are you? Hopefully always healthy and creative work.
In my previous post I made an article about Lightning is seen earlier than the sound of thunder
This article took tag #ecotrain. @artemislives ask how about follow up the post to keep #ecotrain always give benefit for the reader in helping focus on eco living.

But what does it mean in relation to eco-living? Is anyone in the world harvesting this electrical energy? What does it do to solar cell systems if they're hit? How might we protect earth built homes from lightning strikes? Is an earth or timber built home more or less likely to be hot than a conventional house built from concrete, metal and glass?
Looking forward to your follow up post.
I feel moved to give a follow-up to that comment. I want to always provide more benefits through this platform. I believe that one of the goals of activating me Steem is to contribute to life towards a better future.
Back to my writing about lightning which is a very large source of electrical energy. it can be a disaster if it grabs a living creature.
Lightening which is the flow of electrons can propagate both through the air and the medium of solid objects. the movement will look for a positive pole so that it reaches a normal state. One object that has a large positive ion is the earth. Then there is only lightning that flows electrons toward the earth. The way to do this is to find the highest point and point so that it will easily capture the electron. This electron will be flowed to earth.
but often the flow of electrons causes an explosion which can damage or kill.

How to anticipate lightning

Given the magnitude of the danger of lightning, we must be able to prevent it from reaching us. As anticipation we can do the following things.

1. Don't take shelter under a tall tree when it's cloudy.
When it is cloudy and it starts to drizzle we definitely want to get a shelter from rain water. Usually we do not pay attention to existing shelter. for us the important thing is not getting rained on, so if there is a big tree, tall and lush we think the right place for shelter.
In fact, tall trees are a vulnerable place for lightning. The tall treetops will make it easier for electrons to reach them and flow into the earth. If there are people who shelter under it when lightning strikes a tree it can be dangerous.

2. Pay attention to the umbrella
during the rainy season we will definitely provide an umbrella. Sometimes the umbrella we buy is the best umbrella. In fact we must pay attention to the end of the umbrella. A sharp tip will make it easier to capture electrons. If we walk in the middle of a wide field of flat funds then the tip of a pointed umbrella can be an electron catcher.
Choose the handle of the umbrella made of plastic or rubber. This will prevent the possibility of electrons from flowing because the plastic and rubber are insulating.

3. Avoid using electric devices using cables
Cable phones and televisions use cables that can be intermediaries for electrons. When it rains, stop or delay calling or watching television when there is lightning.

4. See weather forecast
Information provided by authorized institutions is good for us to pay attention to. If predicted many lightning will postpone the trip to anticipate the danger of lightning.

5. Install a lightning rod
high rise buildings need to be considered to install lightning rods. this needs to be done so that electrons flow through the cable and are directly transmitted into the earth.

Therefore, this article I hope will benefit us all.

Thank you for reading my post. i hope you enjoy it.
