AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for inducing lightning strikes, such as dropping a metal wire from a drone, face challenges in urban areas due to wind interference and inability to target specific ground points, making them unsafe and incompatible with charging lightning strike energy technologies.
Method used
A lightning induction device comprising a flying body with a wire attached to it, a switch controlling conductivity between the flying body and ground, which switches from an insulated to a conductive state near a thundercloud to induce lightning strikes safely.
Benefits of technology
Enables safe induction of lightning strikes without the need for wire dropping, allowing targeted lightning strikes and integration with charging technologies.

Abstract
This lightning induction device (1) comprises: a drone (11); a wire (12) of which the upper end is attached to the drone (11) and of which the lower end is grounded; and a switch (13) that is attached to the wire (12) and switches the conduction state between the drone (11) and the ground. The present invention causes the drone (11) to fly near a thundercloud, controls the switch (13), and switches a space between the drone (11) and the ground from an insulated state to a conductive state to induce lightning strikes.
