its the ultimate pulsed plasma 2 stroke, but it burns much hotter than klotz gas electron bond mix, that barley reach 4500 deg f but this lightning has way more enery and gets over 60000 deg f and it fires on every stroke, So natures 2 stroke is far far more powerful!

I saw lighting strike a field (about a 1/4 mile away), one time, and it left a glowing streak of hot plasma in the sky for probably 15 or 20 seconds. I first thought that the lightning had left a little hot flash streak on my retina, but I looked away and looked back twice, and the sky was still showing a glowing streak in the sky. Lighting is a terrifying freak of nature.

I am amazed how well ground systems work on those towers, not only they protect the antenna and transmitters but each time, that little beacon light continue to flash like nothing happened...

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess I was thinking the same thing but in order for the problem here is that you need to decrease the conductivity of the wire to make the temperatures rise. But a decreased conductivity would decrease the probability that lightning would strike at the lightning rod which defeats its primary purpose ie. protecting other electrical components from lightning damage.

I believe in theory it won’t because the positive ionized material became negatively charged so nothing is there to pull the lighting strike back onto the surface since it sees it as neutral... but these antennas are usually grounded so any negative charged get absorbed into ground thus making it positive charge to draw in lighting strikes.

almost all of these antennas have a shield that is grounded so most of the lightning power gets shunted to ground since it will take the path of least resistance, and that's directly down the tower into ground rods and into the ground, I'm sure they also have some pretty beefy lightning arrestors that ground the center coax conductor when a voltage spike is detected

@alexlubbers1589

Good question! I shall explain. In a nutshell, we can't store the electricity blast from a lightning bolt because it would cause even the most robust high voltage machinery to overheat and explode. Also, lightning's electricity is what is known as static electricity, which is different to the alternating current used for most of the earth's humans ( DC also is used sometimes). Also, if we DID have the technology capable of storing and withstanding a lightning discharge, we wpuld need to put a power pland in a place that has lots of Cloud-Ground (CG) lightning, the big spectacular bolts that hit the earth. Unfortunately, most places, stormy or not, have not too many outbreaks of rapid CG activity, except the desert southwest. The storms there produce epic amounts of CG, bombarding the landscape. If we did design and build a "lightning catcher" we would probably build it there. Hope this answers your question and have a great day!

Thunder and lightning come frome the same source. The reason you hear the sound after is strikes the rod is because light travels a lot faster than sound. So no, lightning rod does not reduce the loudness of thunder. That's prolly a just a crappy microphone.

@Felamine

+z1mt0n1x That would be impossible. Once a lightning bolt strikes, all that energy disappears and gets converted to heat, light and sound. A lightning bolt is caused by positive and negative charges in the ground and the atmosphere. You could think of this as a giant battery. Once a lightning strike occurs, this "battery" is immediately drained. The only theoretical way it could be done is if the atmospheric charges are harvested *before* they become a lightning bolt, which in itself is impossible because there is no way to predict when or where these charges will occur.
