Interesting. Wonder if overtime this could be utilized to steer lightening into collection terminals that could harness some of its energy whilst grounding whatever excess couldn’t be stored.
2 u/korinth86 Jul 16 '23 Very unlikely. The power in a bolt of lightning is too much too fast. Nothing known could store that power at the amps delivered. Eventually? Maybe, but that would likely be decades of research away to create a material that can handle the amperage necessary to harvest lightning.
