Wood will conduct lightning!, what are you
worried about!!.

Actually, wood doesn't.

Tell that to the 3 or 4 people who got fried under an old wooden
bandstand in Geelong some years ago...

Put enough volts across it and it certainly will.

Its not the wood thats doing the conducting.

Oh, I'm sorry, it must be the carbon ions forming
a conductive plasma as the cellulose is explosively
vapourised.Either you know something about dielectric
physics you aren't telling us or you are being a
nitpicking dickhead.

So pray tell what it is that does the conducting?

And don't say electrons, because by that logic metals wouldn't be
considered conductors.

Me thinks you should go back to physics and chem 101. Or maybe better,
go back and start in say... year 10 or 11.

There aren't too many laptop cases with any earthing ability anyway. I don't
think that the plastic case on my Dell would conduct too much.

Anyway, if you're that worried, you could just hammer a nail or two into it.

You'll find it was the water that was the conductor, not simply the wood.

Wrong with dry wood.

Dry wood is an insulator - not a conductor.

Depends entirely on the level of voltage

Lets see , Carbon is used in low voltage batteries , wow with only 1.5 volts
present . TTL is 5 volts .
Man , now Im worried !!!

<NITPICK>
And you should be. Carbon is used in some cells. With carbon/zinc or
alkaline you get the 1.5 V you sprout about.

A battery is a number of cells connected in series and / or parallel

How you manage to get from the voltage of a lightning strike to a
carbon/zinc cell is quite a step.

Well in the context of grounding a laptop, wood is useless and would act as
an insulator. In the context of the 'bandstand' incident, water was the
conductor - NOT wood.

In both instatnces wood was/is not a conductor.

For the purpose of earthing - which is where this started,

Irrelevant to where it diverged to.

Somehow we diverged to the Geelong incident. The lightning was conducted by
water from the thunderstorm - not the wood.

wood has NO conducive conductive abilities.

Pity about the situation that it diverged to.

Which was the situation where water was the main conductive substance - NOT
the wood.
You said wood was doing the conducting - it wasn't.

In Law Enforcement an image or clone file is created FYI .

Its an exact sector copy of the entire hard drive and there are loads of 3rd
party apps that do the same and reproduce this on an identical physical or
logical drive .

How did I have it wrong ? , I think your wrong in your conclusions . Have
another go on this most basic of topics .

It is if the wood is wet. Take a look at any photo of a lab strike to
a dry peice of timber. The lighning travels around the outside of the
timber. Put a piece of plastic next to the piece of wood, and the
plastic will also produce the same effect. I beleive the term is
called flashover. The same phenomena affects ceramic insulators.
