Abstract: When static electricity builds up in the earth, it is suddenly discharged in a destructive bolt of electricity which can cause fires, property damage and loss of life. The present invention collects this static electricity from the earth before it can build up, and dissipates it to the atmosphere gradually so as to prevent fires, property damage and loss of life. A plurality of relatively long underground wires conduct the electricity from the ground to a metal pole which extends from the ground upwardly approximately 40 feet or more, and the pole dissipates the electricity to the atmosphere. In one embodiment, a U-shaped top fixture on the pole increases the dissipation of electricity to the atmosphere.
