Did anyone see a programme about lightning that was on a couple of years ago? ….long shot I know!
They set up special cameras that managed to record the lightning just before it struck. The film showed that a negative and positive charge, one from the ground and one from above, as they met in the middle. The initial charges were estimated to only be a few mm wide. Once they met several pulses of electricity came down the connection, which dismissed the rule that lightening doesn’t strike twice in the same spot.
Nothing much to do with mobiles I admit, but I thought it interesting!
…….shall I get my coat yet again!
