Lightning has many dangers and consequences of a lightning strike are cumbersome (spectacular damage, made fires, destruction, explosions, death ...). To protect themselves, the implementation of a system of protection against lightning is needed. The different lightning protection systems have been developed following the human technological advances. Some have been abandoned (radioactive lightning rods), others (single lightning rods) and others are constantly evolving (ESE lightning rods). All of these types of protection are regulated by specific standards. Years of experiments and numerous tests in laboratory and in real-world lightning conditions were necessary to develop this Early Streamer Emitter lightning rod. An aluminium alloy and polymeric matérials, all patented, form the major part of our lightning rod. Without any fragile priming system, we designed the most reliable and sustainable product of the market. Called Paraton@ir®, in reference to french language and to its communication abilities, our product is manufactured with utmost care in our workshop in France

The lightning conductor starting device Paraton@ir® creates the optimal conditions to generate a supernatural upward tracer before another natural upward tracer intercepts the surrounding lightning.
The action develops in three steps :

1. PARATON@IR® accumulates charge :

The element called “Charger” is designed to accumulate natural ions in the “Central Inductive System” (patented). This accumulation happens as quickly and in the same proportions as the increase in power of the ambient electric field generated by an upward tracer.

2. PARATON@IR® creates an electric field on a tremendous scale :

At the same time, thanks to the “Central Inductive System” and the “Voltage Boosters”, Paraton@ir® creates a huge electrical field the charge of which is opposed to that of the natural electric field in presence and stimulates the “Harness head”. According to their quantity, the “Priming poles” multiply the efficiency of the priming.

3. Harnessing and conduction by PARATON@IR® :

The priming of Paraton@ir® system attracts the upward tracer and creates the “lightning strike” conditions. Then the “Harness tip” leads the lightning current through its axis toward the ground conductors..
