A lightening conductor works by providing a much easier path for current to flow to earth than through the building.
A lightening conductor is made from a thick metal copper wire or strip that connects a spike that is secured onto the tallest point of a building to a long copper earth pole that is hammered deep into the ground at the side of the building. In the event of a direct lightning strike, the current in the conductor may be so great as to melt or even vaporize the metal, but the damage to the building will nevertheless be limited.
