SLOW MOTION lightning just Slow slower and slowest

[megaroonie10]

It looks like fireworks

[dreamerdazegirl]

Lol LOOOVVVEE the ppl who said lighten goes from the ground up lol smh makes me making Texas part of the 7th continents look lik a genius xp

[abcd123462604]

I used to watch videos like this, but then I took a lightning bolt to the knee

[fourthempirerisen]

Please tell me some of you are kidding, in school I was always taught that lightning came down to the ground not the other way around.

[LoseIfyoucan]

You stupid asshole. How can we see the cloud move if its a very slow motion you fking dumb!!!

[Kunnonkansalainen]

NICE PHOTOSHOP, THE CLOUDS AREN'T EVEN MOVING!!!!!! -.-

[MrSampleName]

@Kunnonkansalainen Buddy. This video is in slow motion. Lightning takes place in a split second. In order for the lightning to be show this slow, the video has to be slowed down immensely. Since the video is so slow, the clouds will not appear to be moving.

Now shut up, and go to school or something.

[waggyish]

that was awesome!

[Runebro12]

??????Its Lightning supposed to go from the ground up!?

[TFDxTanKeR]

@Runebro12 Yes, yes it is.

[MetalDominican]

Imagine taking a lightning bolt to the chest!

[xKalphax]

imagine if you could do that with your hand

[LexandLish]

[RandomYoutuber'sName] Pika-....-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U

[Me] Fuck you, Pikachu is WEAK. Thats a god damned RAICHU.

:B

[667Atlas]

What camera or program did you use to record at such high speeds

[MrLehi99]

So much for edison.

[MrLehi99]

HA, this is god's electric light.

[MACINILIK]

questi fulmini sono stupendi

[ShiivaWilding]

Every lightning video has either a pikachu, chuck norris, thor or raiden reference in the comments XD Still, this is pretty cool :D

[EvilShallWin]

Play the video. Then pause it. Go to the beginning of the video.

Play the video, hold the spacebar down.

Epically slow-mo.

[MrMaxpayn3]

i wonder where they are hitting..

[Melvinnn96]

this are aliens attacking us

[halflifeproducti0ns]

Dr. Rictofen: THE WONDERWAFFE DG-2, MY GREATEST INVENTION!

[pagani43]

Can you use your 1 million-fps camera to capture lightning?

[bcn161213]

doesnt it like burn wutever wherever it lands? o O

[dezastruos]

biggest fuckin fake

[96goggles]

why would lightening stike so many times in the same place?

[danielinsporto]

@96goggles its not the same place. the lightning you're seeing is probably taking places miles and miles away. from that distance, it may look like the lightning is hitting about the same place sometimes, but the distance between them was actually most likely enormous

[montotosk]

@96goggles Because there is a landing strip for lightenings back there.

[cassbird3]

in school we were always told that lightning strike from the ground up

[Formuluh]

OMG is that in mnt siani harbor? i live in rocky point

[ultraslo]

@Formuluh No it is Manhasset bay

[TomPayeaLive]

@ultraslo suffolk county represent

[Brittsaysrawr]

this is BLASPHEMY my teachers told me that lightning came from the ground!! stupids.

[righteousblaze]

@Brittsaysrawr it does....

[Niphire]

The slower the better! This is extremely cool!!

[raz0racanine]

press 0:41

[missbabydee74]

thats beautilful !

[Tyler123Sams]

y is it pink

[xGhiNOx]

@Tyler123Sams Thats what he said

[Bungieblue]

thats kinda scary

[Voltzap]

thats some bad lightning

[markj7000]

Looks like sasuke's using kirin again.

[MegaGozzo]

Great

[TheBaschtl]

Great footage. Thanks for the upload.

[XDdizzie]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkk­kkkkkkkooooooooooo

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

[completelyvirusfreee]

@TannerM98 i mad it!!!

[Anthrax691]

How Beautiful... *sniff*

[FORTY848]

that last one was epic

[doctuasaint]

i think its fake. u dont see the clouds moveing?

[LLAMASAREFRIENDS]

that would happen in less than 3 seconds? epic.

[DTRAVELZ]

This is truly amazing.  You got my subscription !

[SimsPrincessOfPain]

I guess 30 people are afraid of lightning!! :)

[vendetta007mike]

Reminds so much of War of the Worlds.

[1therambo]

deng even on slowmotion denggg

[LeafMaster510]

Awesome video!

@ultraslo, how long did you recording it? How many hours?

[ultraslo]

@LeafMaster510 It was under a second that took months to catch.

[LeafMaster510]

@ultraslo Awesome. Excelent job!

[Aureah182]

@ultraslo Hell ...that is awesome !!!!!! ....Thank you soooo much !!

[flyingxk]

@ultraslo mines took just 5 mins to catch, but shot with pentax w90 underwater cam....so....cheers

[stefdebock]

lol the one wo reaches earth first gets the biggest shock

[baudadr]

@stefdebock

I was told that the lightnings go from Earth to clouds;

with this slow motion, we see that it is not !!

on m'avait dit que les éclairs allaient de la Terre vers les nuages;

ce ralenti montre que ce n'est pas le cas !!

[Connortyser]

@baudadr The flash you actually see when watching it normally is when the bolt hits the gound and flashes, just like 0:30 you can see it descending from the clouds and then when it hits the ground it sends out a huge flash of light.

[pioterk7898]

never seen anything like this. good

[MrGameRager]

@gyrorobot thanks for ruining my day ass hole

[Heliman96]

Where do you live? O.o

[ultraslo]

@Heliman96 Long Island, NY

[Jeedawg]

@ultraslo Whats your favorite color?

[mit871chell]

Can you shoot at 9-100million frames per second so we can see light moving?

[WarHawk215]

and slowestes

[Orreborrekorre]

The lightning seemed slow but halfways it just transformes into a single line.. Too fast to bee captured

[Die33Pimmels]

Is that really real ? Oo

Thats great

[NinjaOnANinja]

U need more FPS

[JAMxSkalla16]

was that actually unedited real time that u just slowed down? so there were like 3 bolts every 10 seconds

[ultraslo]

@JAMxSkalla16 Read the information above. but we did cut out a lot of dead space between the flashes. It was one event that took a few seconds to happen.

Enjoy

[spartben117]

What is really interesting is to see the pathways the energy seeks to get to ground. Once ground contact is made there is a huge exchange of energy (hence the flash)

[devilglacia3]

even when it's in ultra slowmo it's still xtremely fast

[engecas]

when does it get slow?

[Shynemedia]

why is the flash after the lightning hits? is it because the lightning is traveling faster than the speed of light?

[deegz713]

Actually lightning comes close to the ground and then more lightning comes from the ground and connects it.

[chugmilk12]

That's incredible!

[iwantmygumgumdumdum]

Wow, I still think it's fast. Light is fast! (deerrr)

[aussieosbourne]

Damn nature you scary

[inrodas]

damn nature, you scary

[RichinGunz]

wow i cant belive its possible cause i always thought your camera's fps have to match the speed is light in order to capture every frame of it

[narnianhero]

@RichinGunz The camera is actually capturing electricity (the lightning), not light, on film . There is a difference.

[narnianhero]

@RichinGunz Lightning is actually electricity not light.

[857frank]

A clever way to prevent a lightning strike would be to hold a very long metal pole up to the cloud to conduct the electricity down to earth but of course you wouldn't get such a spectacular display.

[bounsiarz001]

zajebiste-very cool 8)

[Hedgehoggy1983]

this is brilliant...thank you!

[FelipeZucchetti]

amazing...:)

[sidvicious2nd]

@Gyrorobot, aah, but the light from the lightning travels at the speed of light...! :P

[TheOsvaldo220]

gyrorobot NERDDDDD

[bunnyspy1]

@TheOsvaldo220 He's not a nerd. He's just smarter than you.

[19may0001]

i hope there were people killed by this lighting

[venumis8508]

hmmmm. I was always taught that lightning travels up...well those teachers are freakin retarded! Here is the proof! cool video!

[mckseal]

@venumis8508

at ground level, it does. A small bolt travels up and meets the one coming down then the charge is passed (ie you die)

[Akvilepup]

in this video it repeated 3 times?

[TheNiko004]

Okay..its wonderfull and all...

but i have one question...

How many died..?

[4Freedomrider]

It sure looks like lightning comes down from the clouds most of the time.

[Marksman230591]

That is so cool...

[jordan1980]

its like backwards fireworks

[mcdanijr]

How much does a camera like this one cost?

[sonnifer]

No, pause at 0:27

[MyFatty69]

even at that slow down, the bult going up after the strike is still instant!

[sonicboom879]

wow even lighting is too quick so slow motion

[Vannahhluvsyou]

Amazing, it's so cool that lightning travels so fast, but stays on camra for so long with the slo mo

[fellfrosch96]

0:38

thor is fuckn upset about christianity...

[0vids4me]

Pretty sure lighting travels from the ground toward the sky, don't know where I read it though.

[Alibaster11]

@0vids4me Yeah I was thinking the same thing before opening this vid and was disappointed that is wasn't what it showed. I guess the Earth Science teacher was wrong.

[ilovecheer1104]

its kinda like a firework is falling down

[FancyKagome86]

lol it's like zap.zap......zapzap.

[Aeromodelismo91]

Great video

[TheCirrus45]

awsome =O im scared of lightning now lol

[hinata2303]

great but dangerous

[tina6581]

dont you just love lighting

[kitchennnn]

@tina6581 dont u just love airplane peanuts.

[tank15043]

wow badass

[onxsmk]

sry didnt mean to post that 2+ times. .

[onxsmk]

The Heavens making love to the earth. .

[Silverfrond]

@onxsmk They're gonna need one hell of a condom!

[Silverfrond]

@onxsmk They're gonna need one hell of a condom!

[SaphireKnight87]

No way in hell you could run from that..

[hanauko]

wooooooooooooow!

[H3LLK3RN]

a camera able to tape this, mut be REALLY REALLY expensive oO

[VeryVery1]

wow!

[1PATRI0T]

I wonder why there are fingers until it reaches the ground and then it instantly turns into a single brighter bolt.

[brainbug1643187942]

@1PATRI0T i tnink these "fingers" are kind of "searching" a way to pass the charge to the earth and when one of them finds, all charge is released threw this finger

[Ranma1981]

@brainbug1643187942 From what I know from science class....when the charge is attracted to the ground it moves down to earth, following different paths of lowest resistance until it finds the ground and now a full electrical path is created and the electrical energy is pulled quickly to the ground.

[2pac4life400]

Thor is angry

[someguyoverthere1]

amazing stop at 0:23

[ATLhometownATL]

Not ''slowest'' cuz if there were a ''slowest'' this vid would last for days

[CJVthe1MB]

Awesome.

[boutassai]

Dude you have to put "The Surface of the sun" Sunshine OST to this it works beautifully. Use the last 40 seconds or so.

[Aquarianjoi]

i tried it....that was pretty awesome!

[easymac79]

I liked the eighth strike. - next to last, i believe 300% slow down. Try one at 275% or 250, it was a bit slow and you could notice the camera lag.

[cooliesass]

I like the second section at 300%. Great work, thanks for posting!

[Gyrorobot]

@enriquehack - just so you know lighting itself does not travel at the speed of light. light = about 186,000 mps (miles per second). where as lighting = is about 260,000 mph (72 mps)....... Lightning creates light but is an exchange of energy and is, therefore subject to friction so it does not travel the speed of light.

[BROOL23]

@Gyrorobot well smart man what the hell are you talking about everyone knows that lighting is energy and it creates light as stactic electictiy is going at the speed of light, thats why we call it a flash the only reason you see it look like it is solid block of energy that dispperpates very quiclkly sorry to burst you bubble!

[TiteProducts]

@BROOL23 lol nub

[Klammerapfe]

@Gyrorobot Use m/s international standard

[sneakysoviet9]

@Gyrorobot Yes, but did you ALSO know that the lightning actually travels from the ground to the cloud, rather than the cloud to the ground?

[mikey16piet]

@Gyrorobot So, the speed of light is roughly 2600x faster than lightning?

[pokersBest]

@Gyrorobot ;ightnening is 3 times as hot as the sun! yeah i learned tht in science class right before i fell asleep! :) lol

[sk8yard7]

@Gyrorobot i gree and i think its sweet that u know that

[WarHawk215]

@Gyrorobot yea no wounder it is hard to catch it

[TechAndTutorials]

shut up everybody, engine start, it russian, eh, srry so ransdom, i just watched 2012 and it was funny

[nightmers2]

bench175

the leaders that goes downwards carry a negative charge...(electrons) after it touches the ground the positive charge goes upwards (that is the massive bolt you see at the end)

[sonyericssoner]

Thundaja 9999

[CptPanda29]

If you look really closely, you'll see The Flash using it as a stop watch...

[CroniusDraks]

this looks fake to me...

[woweezman04]

that is really cool looking!

[itisme400]

Thats Brilliant!!

[ThelastSano]

When one of the spark touch the ground the whole stroke goes there, you can see it is sending alot of sparks to the ground and the 1 touches first gets the whole stroke, race against the ground XD

[Ecrada]

I was thinking about a race to the ground too :DD

[skimboley]

i think this one is fake

[KittensKill]

Not fake, what you are seeing is lighting finding the path of least resistance.

[Enriquehack]

@KittensKill Of curse its fake, did you know that the speed of light travels at 99,792,458 m / s?

no camera can capture a fraction by fraction of the light path.

[Gyrorobot]

actually no, because in the video you are not watching how fast the light moves you are wathing the electricity in it's path move. the light that you see is the instant it happens, you are not looking at a light beam shooting you watching lighting strike.

[ISamuelII]

"not watching how fast the light moves you are wathing the electricity in it's path move. "

I was taught the electron path moves from the ground up in G2C strikes and the flash is made after contact is grounded.

Some of these look like falling spliting objects burning up but we know better.

[TwistLosi]

@Enriquehack

You have obviously never seen big lightning crawlers traveling large distances in the sky which can easily be seen moving by the naked eye, it's the same thing shown here but these bolts are only traveling short distances so to the naked eye it looks like 1 big instant light path which it is not.

[bench175]

I knew my teachers were lying when they said lightning actually travels upward.

[aquaanger]

@bench175 in some cases they do, still a mystery

[tununak]

PICK-A-BOO!!! ICU!!!

[MARSTEC1]

I love lightning. Wonderful! Thank you!

[thexxxartistxx946]

that´s beautiful.. 8P

[ThejohnGould]

thats soo awesome

[2000infamous]

thats not normal

[tiagonarciso]

nature is so beautiful

[mantapTZM]

awesome................ O_O

[4SCARECROWS]

Kinda reminds of that old Atari game MISSILE COMMAND.

[jdmguy03]

piikkkkkaaaachuuuuu!!

..jk

[devilssneer]

The glow you see coming from the sky is a buildup of negative charges, the actual light itself comes from the ground up.

[Avezyyy]

mmm noooo? conventional current flows from positive to negative (i.e. ground-up) however real current (consisting of free electrons) flows from negative to positive (cloud to ground). The opposite is the case for positive lightning (not shown in this video). At least this is what i get taught in physics classes...
