I tīmata te hītori o te tiaki uira i te rautau 1700, engari he iti noa ngā whanaketanga o te hangarau. Ko te Preventor 2005 te auahatanga nui tuatahi i roto i te umanga tiaki uira mai i tōna tīmatanga i te rautau 1700. Inaa, tae noa ki ēnei rā, ko ngā hua noa e tukuna ana he maha ngā wā he iti noa ngā tokotoko uira tuku iho e hono ana ki tētahi arai o ngā waea e kitea ana – he hangarau nō te rautau 1800.

1749 – Te Rākau o Franklin.Nā te kitenga o te rere o te hiko, ka maumahara mai ki a Benjamin Franklin e tū ana i roto i te whatitiri, e pupuri ana i tetahi pito o te manu tukutuku, e tatari ana kia pā mai te uira. Mō tana "whakamātautau ki te tiki uira mai i ngā kapua mā te whakamahi i tētahi tokotoko koi," i whakatūria a Franklin hei mema mana o te Royal Society i te tau 1753.Mō ngā tau maha, ko te tikanga tiaki uira katoa he Franklin Rod i hangaia hei kukume i te uira me te kawe i te uira ki te whenua. He iti noa te whai huatanga, ā, i ēnei rā e kiia ana he tawhito. Ināianei ko tēnei tikanga e kiia ana he pai anake mō ngā tihi o te whare karakia, ngā auahi ahumahi teitei me ngā pourewa kei roto ngā rohe hei tiaki i roto i te koeko.

1836 – Te Pūnaha Kerei Faraday.Ko te whakahoutanga tuatahi ki te tokotoko uira ko te whare herehere Faraday. He ārai tēnei i hangaia e te mata o ngā rauemi kawe hiko i runga i te tuanui o tētahi whare. I tapaina i muri i te kaipūtaiao Ingarihi a Michael Faraday, nāna i hanga i te tau 1836, kāore tēnei tikanga i te tino pai nā te mea ka waiho ngā wāhi i waenganui o te tuanui kāore i tiakina, ki te kore e tiakina e ngā taunga rererangi, e ngā kaiarahi tuanui rānei i ngā taumata teitei ake.

• I roto i te Pūnaha Faraday, ko te parenga uira he mea tito mai i ngā tokotoko uira maha, kaua e iti iho i te kotahi putu te teitei, e mau ana ki ngā wāhi katoa o te tuanui. Me hono tahi ēnei ki ngā kaiārahi tuanui me ngā kaiārahi heke maha hei hanga i tētahi whare herehere kaua e neke atu i te 50 putu x 150 putu, ā, me whai taunga hau ki ngā wāhi e hono ana i waenganui o ngā tuanui.
  Ko te whare e whakaaturia ana i konei he 150 putu x 150 putu x 100 putu te teitei. He utu nui te tāuta i te tikanga Faraday, he nui ngā taputapu e hiahiatia ana i runga i te tuanui me ngā urunga maha ki te tuanui…engari tae noa ki waenganui o te tau 1900, kāore he mea i pai ake.

• 1953 – Te Kaiārai.He pūnga hau whakakoi te Preventor, he mea hihiri te mahi. I tīmata a JB Szillard ki te whakamātautau i ngā kaiārahi rama whakakoi i Parani, ā, i te tau 1931, i patent a Gustav Capart i tētahi taputapu pēnei. I te tau 1953, i whakapai ake te tama a Gustav, a Alphonse, i te taputapu hou a tōna matua, ā, nā tana mahi hou i hua ake ai te mea e mōhiotia nei e tātou i ēnei rā ko te Preventor.
  I muri mai ka whakapaia te Preventor 2005 e ngā Heary Brothers o Springville, New York.
  He mahi hihiri ngā ārai, engari he mahi pūmau ngā tikanga o mua. Hei tauira, ina whakatata mai te kapua tupuhi ki tētahi whare tiaki, ka piki ake te papa hiko i waenganui i te kapua me te whenua. Ko ngā iona e rere tonu ana mai i te waeine, ka haria ētahi o ngā utu iona whenua ki te kapua, ā, ko te pānga o tēnei ko te whakaheke i te kaha o te papa iona i waenganui i te kapua me te whenua mō te wā poto. Me mārama mārama kāore e taea e ia te whakakore i te kapua. Kāore e nui ake tana mahi i te whakaiti i te taumahatanga mō te wā poto e whiti ana te kapua i runga ake - engari ko tēnei whakahekenga wā poto o ngā taumahatanga he nui i ētahi wā hei ārai i te putanga mai o te uira. I tētahi atu taha, ina kore e ranea tēnei whakahekenga taumahatanga hei ārai i te putanga mai o te uira, ka whakaratohia he awa iona kawe hei kawe haumaru i te tukunga ki te pūnaha whenua/whenua.
  Kua roa a Heary Brothers e mahi pakihi ana mai i te tau 1895, ā, ko ia te kaihanga nui rawa atu me te tawhito rawa atu o ngā taputapu tiaki uira o te ao. Ehara i te mea ko te Preventor anake tā rātou e hanga ana, engari e whakamana ana hoki i tōna mahi. E tautokona ana te whakamana e tekaupapa here inihua hua tekau miriona tāra.
