The rake was protected from ball lightning
The custom is known when the peasants in front of a thunderstorm stuck pitchfork, rake, shovels, etc. War did the same, only they stuck spears into the ground. According to the Magdeburg burgomaster and part -time physics of the 17th century, Otto von Gerike, the reason for this is that people so wanted to protect themselves from ball lightning (BL). This problem is much more relevant than they think about it. According to the recently published information in the Russian Federation, the victims of fires that cause ball lightning, up to 1,200 people become annually. Thus, earlier BL was a phenomenon, the danger of which was well aware of the medieval population. It is worth noting modern oddities in the coverage of the BL issue. In 2012-2014, about 800,000 videos about ball lightning disappeared from the Utub website. Global news aggregators behave strangely. For example, in Japan in May 2021, three episodes with BL were issued in a week, but a global search about cases of BL in the world in English does not give out a single case. It turns out that the topic of ball lightning is similar to the topics of suicide or poisoning - complete censorship is secretly imposed on them. Gerike draws attention to the fact that many buildings of antiquity and his time have various pointed structures on the roofs and walls. It suggests that pointed structures cause what is called the crown discharge today. Thus, consuming atmospheric electricity, the chance of the appearance of ball lightning is reduced. Often the bars in front of the fireplace were made of metal and had pointed ends. This was done by the fact that ball lightning can fly into the pipe. From here, according to Gerike, could be believed about the gap through the pipe of spirits, and then Santa Claus. Often such designs could be found in the mountains. People of different regions surprisingly came to it and the same decision. In the 60s, German scientists found out that about 30% of all avalanches in the Alps can be caused by ball lightning. Often, before the start of the avalanche, people hear sounds characteristic of ball lightning - pops, cod, and also see luminous balls. This is also reported by residents of Tibet and climbers who are visited by the Himalayas. Another common protection method was shutters that were supposed to prevent ball lightning flying into the room. They were used even when the glass has already become commonplace. Another method was the arrangement on the streets of pillars with a metal grate. The principle of Faraday cell can be used here, that is, according to ball lightning, it was supposed to be caught by this lattice. Gerica believes that since people are afraid of ball lightning, use metal to reduce the likelihood of its appearance, from here it can begin another belief - the iron drives off the evil spirits
