Abstract: A sensing instrument includes a first electrode, a second electrode that surrounds the first electrode, and a sensing module configured to sense a capacitance of a material by applying a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode while the first electrode and the second electrode are adjacent to the material. A method of operating a sensing instrument includes applying a voltage between a first electrode and a second electrode while the first electrode and the second electrode are positioned adjacent to a material. The second electrode surrounds the first electrode. The method further includes sensing a capacitance of the material based on a response of the material to the voltage.

Abstract: A lightning protection apparatus and related methods are described. The lightning protection apparatus includes a housing that defines a cavity, a gas generating device disposed within the housing, and a signal acquisition device. The housing is coupled to an aircraft. The signal acquisition device is configured to detect a lightning arc and responsively activate the gas generating device to emit a stream of gas to suppress the lightning arc.

Abstract: An example lightning strike protection system of an aircraft includes: (i) a capacitor having a predetermined capacity to hold a predetermined quantity of electric charges provided to the capacitor; (ii) a voltage generating device coupled to the capacitor, where as a quantity of electric charges provided to the capacitor exceeds the predetermined capacity of the capacitor, the voltage generating device converts the electric charge stored in the capacitor into a voltage to generate a lightning leader from the aircraft; and (iii) a conductive path embedded in the aircraft to channel a lightning strike induced by a connection of the lightning leader with an oncoming lightning leader therethrough to be discharged away from the aircraft.
