Abstract:
1. A device to attract, attenuate and dissipate electrical discharges, wherein the device comprises: A. An assembly that comprises: A1) a vertical rod, wherein the rod in its superior extreme is pointed; and A2) a circular toroid that is connected by radial extensions to the rod; B. An isolator that supports the inferior extreme of the rod of the assembly; and C. A filter system for the electrical discharge, wherein said system comprises at least two elements, wherein each one of the elements is joined to the isolator, wherein the elements are placed successively from a superior level to an inferior level, wherein a first element is a most superior, wherein the first element is connected directly to the assembly rod; wherein between two successive elements of the filter system, when there is an electrical discharge, a plasma effect is induced due to ionization of molecules of gases in air, wherein a most inferior element of the filter system is connected to ground by mean of a cable.
