As I said we are researching protection, but our first search many years ago was marine protection for sailboats. Once you watch lightning hit a mast, it takes the wind out our your sails  |
Protecting a boat from lightning is a totally different situation and I believe some use CMCE devices which can work because if the capacitor device gets overwhelmed, it will act just like a plain old lightning rod.
I couldn't find any references to homes equipped with CMCE devices here in the Villages so unless you can produce a source, I know of only one installed. Capital Electronics Inc installs these and when they had a meeting on these devices here in the Villages last year, almost everyone left after they told us how much it costs. And they couldn't produce any documentation or studies other than lab testing that they actually work. After that one installation in Osceola Hills we never saw them again. Interesting, several of the neighbors who were on the street of that lightning strike had A1 install a conventional LPS and no one purchased a CMCE system eventhoug the company had two presentations at that location in an attempt to sell systems.
