Lightning

Is it possible to capture lightning? It turns out you can. In the mountain thunderstorm laboratories are constructing an antenna of up to one kilometer. A bottom-set equipment machines, which record all data about lightning. But there is a small inconvenience. Lightning strikes, where they want, but do not always go where there is an antenna. Is there a more convenient way to study this phenomenon. To this end, we construct a laboratory for the creation of artificial lightning. Under laboratory conditions, managed to get a level voltage of up to 5,000,000 volts. This gives a spark discharge, length about 15 meters. There is another method to study lightning. This photograph it with the flashing. Take a photograph of lightning can be any camera. To do this, send the lens in the direction of the thundercloud. An outbreak is very short, so the camera should be left open for 2-3 seconds. At a certain proportion of patience you will get enough spectacular shot of lightning. Studies have shown that lightning consists of several consecutive bits. The very process of lightning has two stages. First chliderny level paves the way from the cloud to Earth. This discharge is flying at a speed of 100 ... 200 kilometers per second. Once he reaches the Earth, the path laid in the opposite direction is the main, a very bright discharge. This process can be repeated 30-40 times. This is why lightning gives a bright, blinding light.
