Lightning according to faraday's law

AI Thread Summary
Faraday's law suggests that lightning involves air conducting current within Earth's magnetic field, potentially causing motion in the air. The discussion highlights that the ionization of air particles is crucial for the formation of lightning bolts. It also notes that the violent movement of air during a lightning strike can be harnessed in practical applications, such as a magnetoaerodynamic engine. The relationship between Earth's magnetic field and lightning remains debated, with some questioning its direct influence. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complex interactions between electricity, magnetism, and atmospheric phenomena.

Faraday's law applied to lightning, " When lightning occurs air conducts current which happens in Earth's magnetic field will it produce motion in air".

not sure why you think the Earth's magnetic has a direct infulence ?

But regardless the air moves violently ... you have heard thunder ? :)

if air moves violently, this principle can be used in practical..as "magnetoaerodynamic engine"
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
