09-10 analogy Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 It's raining hard, but I've certainly seen heavier. Then again, "heavier" in my head canon is June 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 1 hour ago, nw baltimore wx said: Damn. Probably should be inside. Check out this feeler trying to get to us on the porch. Great capture! That would be a lens reflection. You can make it that it mirrors the bolt and the predominately green wavelength depicted is indicative of remnants of the coating used. I've seen these many times in videos and some even appear real as the sound in the video reveals a snapping noise. However the snapping noise is from sideflashes occurring from nearby conductors that picked up enough potential from the nearby strike to arc over to conductive objects of lower potential. Interestingly enough, energy from those sideflashes often find their way into sensitive electronic equipment often bypassing spike protection in the power supply usually due to alternate paths. Bolts that long, that close are extremely sharp/loud similar to a centerfire rifle cartridge. Running a Tesla coil at a "lowly" (in comparison) 50kW input with a secondary coil (magnifier), frequent D'Arsonval discharges were experienced that were about 15-20' long and were quite loud even with ear protection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
