Laser Triggered Lightning Strikes? Sweet.

[WolfEyesatNight]

Could this new contraption get me free sex, if I scare the pants of any chick I desire?

[jimmyshitbags]

please tell me this isn't made up. that is incredible.

[LucentTwinkle]

i bet the government's been the cause of all this lightning. jk

[tsshaw78]

Studies have shown that the total energy in a lightning strike is only a few hours of light for a small neighborhood. Add to that, there are no currently practical methods to store the energy.

[b0utch]

ok so i might want to stop aiming my laser at the cloud or do we need a real powerfull laser!?

[NiamOfAsuras]

I can imagine if they made a weapon of this the Taliban would shake in their pants

[zbug9]

it would be a greatweapon

hell we wouldnt need an army

[qwikstix3]

what was the point of thor?

[Cchrisbud813]

Thor is the god of thunder in ancient Germanic mythology.

[pikminroxpikminrox]

correction, norse mythology

[Zerozx11645]

@pikminroxpikminrox correction, Germanic mythology.

[Ko252]

with norse mythology, since germanic is more vast.

[MrLuvaluva67]

@Cchrisbud813 vikings no?

[THEBCLASSICSROOM]

i thought about this when i use my laser an i don't have a chep keychan laser i have a very good one , one that can hit the clouds and beyond !

[The1stPoster]

holy fucking shit this could be awesome

[HxCSurfFL]

Its brilliant....we need a new energy source,obviously oil and coal are on their way out...one bolt of lightning is equal to ten million barrels of oil...we harness lightning and...well you do the math

[Fiki2k7]

@HxCSurfFL You're right to a certain extent. Lightning has MUCH more voltage than amps, the air that it travels through is an insulator after all. The trick is to create a transformer that can handle variable voltage (250k- 1million volts) and convert it to something useable. As an electrician the main issues I see are surges : /. Current transformers cant handle it, the wires can, maybe insulation on wires. The transformers.... No idea how they could :(.

[slownsilent]

ahahaha

[M3T4LH34D812]

could be a great way to manipulate where it rains, not sure if there's any proof yet, but considering molecular spin velocity is one of the reasons the water vapor can even be up there, spending the heat from a cloud with an initiated discharge, should decrease their spin enough so as to make the water simply fall back to Earth out of the sky.

[bobviously]

The université Laval was doing that at least three years ago. Some Americans picked up on it, because it gives the possibility of wireless tasers. Star Trek, anyone?

[3dbeing]

HAARP?!?

[JCLeSinge]

What else could it possibly be?

[scrog77]

Yea HAARP!

[b0utch]

@3dbeing no this isnt what haarp does

[yufeizhou]

wow

[barbariandoom]

This really true?

[gregoreomaximo]

Weapon of Mass destruction in the making, haha.

[JUDASismyHERO]

cool like to see it in action

[hayyygurlhayyy]

Amazing!
