[QUOTE="shjacks45, post: 6420558, member: 670557"] I think you refer to the one that splits Hydrogen molecules into atoms, so when the Hydrogen recombines the 104 Kcal/mole energy hits the work. It takes 400 Kcal to split Nitrogen molecule and 260 Kcal to split O2, the result would contain a lot of Nitrogen Oxides (think nitric acid). Lightning originates as a high voltage low current "leader" that travels down the path of least resistance until touching earth, then a 500,000 Amp return bolt from the Earth neutralizes Earth-cloud charge imbalance.
