  • This is how we'll solve the energy crisis.

    Doc Brown voice: 1.21 Jigawatts!

  • Thor

    

  • this is a tecnique used called "lightning seeding" it works by giving the lightning a sure way to an earth ground via a wire attached to the wire, the other way is to shoot a HP Co2 lazer in to the clouds causing strings of ions making the air more conductive, its pretty cool but not si-fi.

  • DAMN NATURE!! YOU SCARY

  • 00:06 nice sound

    

  • I can't imagine how awesome it must feel to cause your own real lightning strike. This is seriously cool as hell

  • Comment removed

  • Use Yahoo translater. I've used it before, without an account.

  • FAKE

  • On peux m'expliquer pourquoi au début de la vidéo ya une lumiere qui monte au ciel . . . Et apres un eclaire parfait qui décend la ou le ... Je pense le feux d'artifice est parti?

  • @niina13013 My French is not very good, so apologies for using English. If anyone's good at translating, feel free. The start of the video shows a rocket carrying a wire being fired into the clouds. The light is from the rocket exhaust. When the wire reaches the clouds, the electrical charge in the clouds travels down the wire, creating the descending glow. So if I understand the question correctly, the answer is yes.

  • @2206411411 hes wondering about what the light was going up into the sky

  • @2206411411 Heu merci d'avoir répondus mais j'ai rien compris xD . ..

  • @2206411411 Mon français n'est pas très bon, donc excuses pour l'utilisation de l'anglais. Si quelqu'un est bonne à traduire, n'hésitez pas. Le début de la vidéo montre une fusée transportant a wire ait été tiré dans les nuages. La lumière provient de l'évacuation de la fusée. Lorsque le fil atteint les nuages, la charge électrique dans les nuages se déplace vers le bas de la fil, créant la lueur décroissante. Donc si je comprends bien la question, la réponse est oui.

  • @2206411411 Use google translator ;) ... that is.. if you have a google account

  • @2206411411 Well, my French isn't very good either, but I think first she(?) asked WHY there is the light traveling upwards (so the answer to that can't be "Yes" =D) and then something about fireworks. Which is not it according to your response. ;)

  • @niina13013 enfaite jcrois que c'est eu meme qui long fait avec le truc qui par vers le haut on entend yeeeaaa parce qui long reussi

  • @niina13013 c pas un feu dartifice c'est une boule de cuivre attachée a un fil de cuivre qui est envoyée en lair et le courant passe dans le fil d'ou l'eclair artificiel

  • future weapon..

  • Yep just a wire attached to the rocket so that it would ground out the cloud's static electricity. If you do this then the thunderstorm won't have as many lightning strikes because you will have drained it of most of it's electrical energy.

  • what needed to do this?

    a sugar rocket good for this? with some copper

  • @MakaronyHacker What you need is to hit the thunder clouds. A sugar rocket should work, if the cloud layer is low enough AND the rocket has the lifting power necessary to get there. There's no rule that says you have to start from a specific height, so firing from the side of a hill (remember to fire straight up, use a spirit level to ensure this) should be fine. It might be good to experiment with thunderclouds trapped by hills versus free-moving ones, as I don't know anyone's done that work.

  • It's all cool and stuff until you realize you're holding the launcher control. Which is connected via wires.

  • @needleonthevinyl How many amps is the fuse on those wires?

  • holy shit god haz a lightsaber

  • new kind of miltary weapon lol, that was base struck by lightning... rocket goes into air gets lighting to follow it shuts down enemy bases electricity then the battle is on :D

  • 2206411411: MUHAHA I AM THE NEW ZUES BOW BEFORE ME

    817546: no you arent

    2206411411: ORLY???!!!

    817546: ya rly

    2206411411: *launches rocket into air*

    817546: what will that do

    2206411411: *lightning strikes 817546*

    817546: oh...

  • 什么东西射上去?

  • beutiful

  • IMMA FIRIN MA LAZ0R!

  • did you take that? Was that at UF? That's exactly my future job!

  • whao... zeus have a ruler...

  • This is what I plan to do as a job when I am older. This is in the University of Florida in Gainesville. Lightning is still mysterious to us, so we try to trigger a strike by sending a rocket attached to a wire in an imminent lightning storm to test the voltage, amperage, wattage, how it forms, how it discharges etc. Its so cool! I cant wait for 10 years from now, when I am 22 3/4.

  • @awesomelightning It's great to see young people so interested in stuff like this. Keep up your interest, you'll get there!

  • its not a firework its a lightning triggered rocket. It tows a wire behind it so the wired catches heat when it gets to its maximum height which creates lightning.

  • WTF?

    How could firework make lightning?

  • they bull up a metal wire.

  • Wow , when it's the first days of next year at midnight, if there's a thuderstorm, I will fire a fireworks for "fire" a lightning :p. Because in my country, fireworks in 1 Jenuary is holy..:p

  • Lol i wacthed this in school today its a rocket connected to wire shot into a cloud in a storm to try to get lightning to run through the wire so the science people can test how lightning works

  • was that lightning hitting the wire, or was the electricity from what ever they shot up?

  • That wasn't fireworks.. That was a rocket shot into a cloud. Scientists have been doing this for at least 20 years. They'll tie 2,000+ feet of copper wire to the back of the rocket and ground it hoping to have lightning follow the line.

  • @PJDooWop thats pretty freakin sweet

  • @PJDooWop I know. On average, they only get 25 a year.

  • Very interesting... ty

  • hows a firework gnna do that tho??? never seen anything like it :p

  • It is a firework U cannot fool me!

  • somthing fired up ? what was it?

  • It's a rocket from the Lightning Research Group in Florida.

    They fire a rocket into the sky when the storm is staticly charged and a strike is imminent. The rocket triggers a strike, and the charge is sent down the wire connected to the rocket so they can measure the voltage and other such stuff.

  • That was cool wow.

  • I'M BEING ABDUCTED!!
