I don't know if this is in the right section but here goes any way
when lighting strikes does it create a magnetic wave and or an EMP?
when lighting strikes does it create a magnetic wave and or an EMP?
MassiveEffect said:i was wondering does it produce both or just 1 of them?
Simon Bridge said:Yeah - it is electromagnetic, and comes in a pulse.
Surely there's also an electric field from the charges?
Anyway - I remember listening to clicks on a radio receiver corresponding to lightning strikes. Perhaps that is the context?
Simon Bridge said:Surely there would be a net, if diffuse, dipole just ahead of the strike?

MassiveEffect said:even when it enters into a lighting rod would it still have high intensity magnetic field within the lighting rod?
MassiveEffect said:if the lighting in the air is the only time that the high intensity magnetic field is present then i could work that into my experiment i am not well versed on this subject but just had an idea and trying to see if my idea possible if it is then it could mean great things to come in the electric industries
MassiveEffect said:not to well versed on electromagnetism
i don't really want to state my theory any were on the web because i don't want my idea to be stolen
MassiveEffect said:were would be a good place to state my theroy so that it would be known that i was the 1 that come up with it
and so no 1 would be able to steal it?
MassiveEffect said:My theory states if you take a lighting rod and place a 2 foot section of non conductive material about 2 inches thick. Along that 2 foot section place a copper coil that is held in its own spool. When lighting strikes the rod the high intensity magnetic field that accompanies the lighting strike will produce a significant charge to be present in the copper coil. With the proper equipment the charge may be turned into a useable energy sources.

A lightning strike is a sudden discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, typically caused by the buildup of electrical charges in a thunderstorm.
Yes, lightning strikes have been known to create electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) due to the intense release of energy. However, not all lightning strikes will result in an EMP.
An EMP is a burst of electromagnetic energy that can disrupt or damage electronic devices and systems. It can be caused by natural occurrences, like lightning strikes, or by man-made sources such as nuclear explosions or high-altitude nuclear detonations.
When lightning strikes, it releases a large amount of energy in a short period of time. This energy can induce powerful electric and magnetic fields, which can cause a flow of current in electrical conductors and thus create an EMP.
It is possible for an EMP from a lightning strike to cause damage to electronic devices, especially if they are not properly protected. However, the distance and strength of the lightning strike will also play a role in the potential damage caused by the EMP.
