ABSTRACT:
A static dissipator for dispersing the electrical charge on a structure into the atmosphere in order to prevent lightning strikes comprises an electrically conductive core which includes a plurality of twisted cables. A plurality of wire filaments extends outwardly from the core. Each of the wire filaments has an end in the form of a fine dissipation point. A housing is secured around the wire filaments. The housing has a plurality of openings formed therein. A threaded connector extends from the bottom of the core for connecting the static dissipator to a fixed structure to be protected.
