⚡ Lightning Protector SPIN
Tesla’s Lightning Protection for Boats, Homes & Towers
Lightning follows rules. So do we.
Lightning isn’t chaos—it’s a predictable phenomenon driven by the movement of electric charges, air pressure, humidity, and temperature. Understanding these forces means we can dominate them.
SPIN does exactly that. Fueled by Nikola Tesla’s timeless vision, SPIN unleashes a protective force field that carves out a lightning-free zone around your assets.
Its bold, collector-worthy design—crafted with precision—masters electric fields, wipes out corona effects, and shuts down streamer formation, making a lightning strike statistically impossible.
Grounded in rock-solid universal physics, SPIN’s game-changing shape tips the odds in your favor, delivering cost-effective lightning protection for boats, homes, and towers.
SPIN: Tesla’s Ultimate Lightning Protector for Strike Prevention
With its true Tesla-shaped dome, SPIN ingeniously takes advantage of universal electrostatic laws to expertly manipulate the local electric field. By leveraging well-established physics, it stabilizes charge distribution and prevents the conditions necessary for lightning formation.
Optimizing Charge Distribution with Smooth Shapes
Key Concept: Charge Density
⚡ The quantity of electricity per unit area, measured in C.G.S. units (centimeter-gram-second system, a historical unit of charge). High charge density on sharp points makes air conductive, while low density on large surfaces prevents ionization.
In his 1918 patent (US Patent 1,266,175), Nikola Tesla highlighted that traditional Franklin rods increase strike risks by creating hazardous charge concentrations at their sharp points.
He proposed using a large, rounded dome—like SPIN—to achieve a low density and uniform charge distribution, minimizing corona effects and streamer formation for safer lightning protection.

SPIN Creates a Repulsive Force Field:
⚡ An electric field is the invisible force around charged objects, driving the attraction or repulsion of charges. In storms, this field varies intensely as clouds develop opposite charges—positive (+) at the top, negative (-) at the bottom.
SPIN uses electrostatic principles to match the cloud’s polarity, generating a repulsive force that pushes lightning away ⚡.
Its large, rounded dome “flattens” field gradients, preventing charge accumulations and making strikes statistically unlikely for safer protection.

Stabilizing the Electric Field via Precision Spark Gap
⚡ SPIN’s design features a central spark gap formed by an insulated bushing, where an internal grounded electrode is separated from the external Tesla dome to polarize the electrodes, setting the surrounding electric particles in motion. When the tension between electrodes becomes too high, micro-discharges appear, acting as a safety mechanism to prevent excessive charge concentration.
Thanks to its spark gap, SPIN gently equalizes charge imbalances and redirects excess charges from the dome to the ground before they can intensify into dangerous electric field variations, providing optimal lightning prevention.

Unlike traditional lightning rods that attract strikes, SPIN acts as an active field stabilizer, mastering charge distribution to block corona discharges and streamer formation—key lightning triggers. Inspired by Nikola Tesla’s proven physics, SPIN transforms storm-exposed sites into extremely low-risk zones, ensuring your boats, homes, and towers remain untouched with absolute protection.
