Hi:

Is there any material that has enough electrical-resistance to block
off high-voltage such as that of lightning? Lightning is around a
million volts.

Another question. Which material has the strongest electrical
resistance of all?


Thanks,

I would think a vacuum would do it.

Doesn't a vacuum has very *low* resistance? Or are you referring to the
stuff around the vacuum? What is the insulation covering the vacuum
made of?

Sometimes it's better to "go with the
flow" and "re-route" the lightning,
rather than attempt to block it.

Yes.

Consider surrounding the device to be
protected with a grounded conductor and
forget about insulators.

True.
