Two spheres with a close gap between them, mounted at the base of the tower of a broadcast AM transmitter.
One ball is connected to the tower, the other one to earth ground.
In case of lighting, an electrical arc forms across the gap, routing the lightning to earth and saving the transmitter equipment.
Called "Jesus Balls" because if you touch them "you see Jesus" (i.e.: you can die).
