First Principles
The ESE enhances the mechanism of lightning by creating ascending leaders to meet descending plasma channels from lightning events. It is both laboratory proven and shown in situ. The Faraday Cage relies on the fact electromagnetic fields do not propagate inside cages formed by electrical conductors. The spacing between conductors is arbitrary and not proven, although critical for efficiency of the Faraday Cage.
