A marine equipment patent has recently issued for a new and novel lightning rod.  According to an article posted in yachtinsure.com, this patent is licensed selectively to Marine Lightning Protection Inc. The original lightning rod was invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1750. This lightning rod served the purpose of protecting the ships. Franklin later concluded that a lightning rod could shield a building from the strike of a lightning by providing an appropriate path for the current to flow. This scientific technology is still going through modern-day refinements for the marine protection. Ewen Thomson of the University of Florida applied the traditional science that has been used in lightning protection systems for the purpose of ground installations. According to Dr. Thomson, the removal of the invalid key assumptions in the t

It appears new and innovative designs are in order for boats, with a recent patent being issued for Boat Ramp, according to an article at www.patentstorm.us. The boat is enclosed in a ladder-style frame with C-shaped elongated lateral side rails secured in separate parallel conditions and C-shaped cross support beams.
