THOR GUARD, the leader in lightning prediction, is committed to utilize emerging technologies in |
||
THOR GUARD is the only stand alone lightning warning device used at all National Championships conducted by the United States Golf Association, the Canadian and European Golf Tours and many local sections of the PGA of America. We are the choice of Marriott Golf, the PGA Tournament Players Clubs, ABC Television Sports, and the Atlanta Summer Olympics. The flexibility of our system not only accommodates private golf facilities needing plenty of advance warning (20 or more minutes), but also public facilities looking for only 8 to 18 minutes of warning to ensure revenue flow. THOR GUARD is also highly regarded and utilized by many non-golf industries as well. Some of our significant customers include American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air Canada, United, Fed Ex, Freeport McMoRan Mining, BHP Billiton Mining, Motorola, AT&T, and over 700 universities, schools and municipalities. From airports and ski areas to the NFL and zoos, THOR GUARD can be found providing on-site, real-time lightning prediction and warning to perfection! THOR GUARD's PREDICTION capability also minimizes false alarms, a significant departure from detection systems that are prone to unnecessary and costly shutdowns! Municipalities have also recognized the need for our early warning prediction system. Parks, pools, playgrounds, schools, and other public facilities are now relying on our system. THOR GUARD predicts the probability of a lightning hazard in an area up to 25 square miles. More importantly, it also provides a specific reading of the risk in your immediate area. Couple the PREDICTION capability of a THOR GUARD with the Voice of THOR, our interactive horn warning system, and you have a true automatic advance warning package second to none! |
THOR GUARD effectively reads the activity within the electrostatic field through a proprietary program developed after millions of hours of thunderstorm monitoring and will predict the probability of a lightning strike within a predetermined area of concern. This program can also project the potential for deadly "bolts out of the blue," which are strikes that seem to come from nowhere and cause a high percentage of lightning fatalities. These are the significant technical advantages that have allowed THOR GUARD to become the most accurate and meaningful advance warning system of lightning potential. Patents on the basic technology employed in the system are based on developments produced originally from 1968 to 1985 by Electrofields, Inc., the forerunner in the field of lightning prediction. Electrosensors, Inc. (now THOR GUARD, INC.) purchased all trademarks and patents and an aggressive program of research and development was initiated. During the ensuing years THOR GUARD, INC. has continued to upgrade the system in both practical field applications, and the science of modern day computer technology. THOR GUARD has provided accurate and dependable lightning prediction for a broad base of clients since 1974. This represents literally millions of hours of safe operations. |
