Lighting conductors(copper and Aluminum wire) are those conductors which conducts electricity(Lightening strike) to ground. Also used in some building to prevent any damage when lighting strikes or going to strike the building.
Brief explanation:
It works as pathway of electrons to ground. Charges build up in the Earth and in the sky in clouds and are opposite in charge, so when there is a path that opens based on the voltage that builds up, those electrons will flow. All a conductor does is supply an easier path, so that the lightning won't end up going somewhere else. Unless you can make one that is much higher than anything else around it then lightning will still find other places that it likes more than your lightning rod. That is why a tree might be hit that is only several hundred yards away from a tower that might be twice at tall as the tree. I know because it happened twice to two of my trees, where there is a metal tower about three hundred yards away that is about 50% taller than the trees. If you can put a conductor in a tree and ground it then the lightning should follow the conductor rather than the water inside the tree.Lightning rods or conductors are metal poles usually mounted on the highest point of a building, an antenna tower, etc and they are connected to the ground via a wire so that if lightning strikes, the metal rod will redirect the electricity safely to ground.When lighting hits the conductor it goes straight to ground rather than go through the building which could because a fire!
