A review of studies on early streamer emission and charge transfer system conducted in Malaysia

Studies that compared the performances of the early streamer emission (ESE) air terminals and the charge transfer system (CTS) with that of the Franklin rod (FR) system have been conducted in Malaysia since 2003. The results from these studies suggest that the ESE and CTS systems were more effective than the FR system. However, a review of the available information shows that the results were based on bizarre and flawed analyses of research data and that they were carried out by proponents of the ESE and CTS systems
