A metal roof car gives protection from lightening. Doe's a sun roof compromise that protection?

No\n\nThe car shields you because the charge of the electricity resides on the surface of the metal. This is why it is dangerous to touch it.\n\nThis is the same reason you get shocked touching a 'live', bare wire.\n\nIf in that situation just hunker down, sit tight and call help on your cell...IF......you can get a signal thru the electron-screen surrounding your car. You could probably open a window a little tho.\n\nMore than likely the sunroof is made of glass and that is an insulator. So it the rubber seal between it and the metal chassis of the car on which it seals.\n\nHowever......\n\n......if the lightning is bent on being directed to something inside the car, or under the car, the car probably won't afford you much help. Lightning would burn a hole right thru it and anything in it's path. Don't know if that's ever happened, but I think it's more unlikely than likely.

Lighter colors reflect sunlight .Trust me ,I have owned a black truck and they get damn hot.Lighter ones get hot but nowhere near as hot as a dark one

READ PATEINTLY.. IT MAY APPEAR LONG BUT I GURANTEE YOU SATISFACTION....\n\nyes it is safe....\n\n\nBUT NOT BECAUSE OF RUBBER TYRES..... REMEMBER...\n    \n    NOT BECAUSE OF RUBBER TYRES...\n\nActually when lightening strikes earth surface the charge is in search of the shortest path (least resistance path) to reach the zero potential surface that is earth. Now a car with metallic body is a very good thing to provide that short route to the ground. Same concept as that of a "lighting rod" placed at the top of high rise buildings which attract the lightning towards it instead of the building concrete.\n\nI assume that you know that A PERSON WILL NOT FEEL ANY SHOCK UNTILL AND UNLESS THERE IS FLOW OF CURRENT THROUGH HIS BODY PARTS...\n\nWhen light strikes on the car top, it will get dispersed in all directions and flow through the frame to the wheel frames and then jump from there to the road through the wet tyres. This short jump (of around 8 cm height), in any case, requires less work than conducting electricity through highly non conductive air for height of about a car (120 cm).. or pass through you head and get out from your shoes...\n\nNow imagine yourself sitting in car... you are not in contact from the top... so when light strikes it has 2 options... either to jump  to your head or flow through the conducting car body... answer is obvious and it will pass through the car body...\n\nNow if my legs are touching the car floor then why not i get a shock then..? so answer again is that now when charge is at the floor it is having a zero potential surface below it and there is no point entering into your body and move unneccesarily upwards...\n\nHope you got it...

Something that will take the damage instead of passing it on to the car.  If it is too strong, and the car is hit, the damage will be passed on to the vehicle.  You want something that will bend/break.  They used to make them of hard metals, but now they make them of more plastic-like materials.

well, a really rusty car can fall apart. I had a 1973 Ford Galaxie that was so rusted the bumper fell off when I was banging a chic in the back seat.

In my opinion, ESE is a bunch of hot air.  The link below shows a few scientists/engineers that are also opposed to the idea being any more effective than the normal lightning rod.\n\nThe best lightning protection we have now is a well-placed lightning rod system connected with appropriately sized cable.  The cable should lead to a buried rod that is suffiiciently deep.

It uses the sun's rays for energy. If not it uses a tank like a car. Only, it uses a tank for combusting the fuel. A tank that is filled with oxygen.

because a car turns heat energy into mechanical energy

Because there is no risk of snow or black ice on the road and little risk of rain.  Because you can roll down the windows and feel the wind in your hair.  Because if you have a convertible, you can get a suntan while driving.  Because it's the best season of the year, if you live in the northern US.

Frankly your wrong about the big panel thing\nwe had photovoltaic shingles installed and you'd never know what they are \neven my neighbor didn't know what they were for over a year\nuntil he asked where he could by roof shingles.\nyou might want to look into them\ncost wise they were the same price as a top of the line shingle\nI did the labor myself so I cant talk about that end\n\nhttp://www.oksolar.com/roof/

There are a bunch of great options depending on light conditions. For sunny days a darker lens in a gray or brown is your best bet but pretty much any tint will work well. \n\nNow, on stormy days things get a little less clear (in more ways than one). Two very popular tints are rose and yellow. Yellow increases visual acuity (which is a fancy way of saying it makes things appear brighter) and rose is best at filtering blue light (blue light is what causes flat light) and thus offers the best contrast. I find, that if it is a darker stormy day or if I am riding more in the trees (where there is less light) then yellow works the best. If it is a brighter day or if I'm not riding in the trees too much then I much prefer rose lenses as they offer the best definition. \n\nBy far, the most common lens tint is amber. This is a decent universal tint as it combines red and yellow to create a lens dark enough for a sunny day but offers enough contrast and increased acuity to work well on a stormy day. I find that any "universal" type tint works okay in all conditions but not great in any one condition.\n\nIf you can only have one type than amber is a great choice. If you can have two, go for a darker lens for the sunny days and pick either a yellow or rose for those storming days. If money isn't too big a deal Smith as an awesome lens available called the Sensor Mirror. This lens has a great combo of yellow and rose tints with a blue reflective coating that blocks the flat light. This is the best stormy day lens I have ever used.\n\nEDIT: And if by protection you mean UV protection then you don't really need to worry as every goggle made today offers complete UVA and UVB protection, no matter what the tint is.

Yes waterproof but not lightening proof

As long as they are not doing any damage. I think it is very cool to watch lightening. It always amazes me at the way it goes through the sky. I could sit for hours watching a lightening storm.

um...headlights when driving in the fog to help save lives from crashes.

It's for padding, heat and sunscreen. Seriously. I'm not kidding. The padding is so if you fall, you have something to protect your head. (a small fall)
