Project Title: How to deflect lightning
Problem Definition:Project Proposal Our project problem is researching ways to deflect lightning bolt .Whenever it rains and thunder strikes so it doesn't do damage insted we can deflect it.This could change the amount of damage lighting does all around the world .The way that we can try to solve this problem is by making a lightning rod that connects to a generator and it can transfer energy .We are going to research and make a computer model of the project.
Problem Solution:Whenever lightning hits water it would conduct it.A copper rod can stop and transport energy from a lightning bolt so u could store the energy in something to save it for when you need it iron,aluminum,gold,and silver can do the same.https://www.ferrovial.com.
Progress to Date: how far we gotten to date is how we learned how to print code with python. For are project we learned how to conduct lightning and what materials that can deflect lightning.And the fact that we are still working hard on this project.
Expected Results:the results that we are looking for is that with a lightning rod to save energy in something like a generator. And to be able to deflect lightning with a lightning rod but the lightning rod won't be able to deflect by itself so we would have to attach something so it would deflect.
