So, way back when in 2012 we first got into the lightning business and let's just say the results were shocking...

@Willam_J 6 жыл бұрын

panther105 - I agree! I’m sure that experience was very inspirational for them. I’ve always been interested in science and I was lucky to have people in my life who encouraged my interest when I was young. I never saw an accelerator until I worked at a US national laboratory. These are some lucky kids to have seen something like this at such a young age. Unfortunately, here in the US, those kids wouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near an accelerator due to their age. Many areas of the buildings that I worked in were off-limits to anyone under 18 years old because of the risk of radiation exposure. When kids are that young, their cells are dividing so rapidly that any exposure to radiation would have a much greater chance at causing cancer. Anyway.... I’m very glad that they had that experience. I’ll bet that most of them will pursue science in the future.

@leiandrosjimenez8054 5 жыл бұрын

so I have been researching ways I can make my dream battery happen that is glass that holds electricity form lighting a strike. do you think that plexiglass can take a hit from lightning and contain it? If Not, what kind of glass or (mix metal in the glass) would be best to hold a mass amount of electricity and contain it? Also, I know that there are ways to force a liting strike like (a small rocket with a wire attached to it ) then (a rocket that lets off a fine powder ) and so on and so forth but is there a safer way without to much cost. Another thing is.

Woody 138, A grounded spike on both ends with a sharp enough rap to puncture both ends would probably create a double Lichtenberg figure. That would be really neat.

@buckrogers5331 3 жыл бұрын

Q1: So, do you get a nasty shock if you touch the nail bit upon discharge? Q2: The shape of the discharge (the "roots") don't seem intuitive. It does not seem as if the electrons are rushing out but is rushing in via the nail bit. If that is the case, it conforms with the shape found on grass fields when lightning hits the ground. Maybe the acrylic is +ve and cracking it with a nail brings in the electrons from the air.

I don't think the discoloration is due to what you say, I think it's much simpler. The decomposition of the material from the immense amount of energy being moved around is more likely. This is obvious as if you were to fracture a non electron charged block of acrylic you would not get that same discoloration.
