"Dark lightning" that is almost invisible within clouds may regularly blast airline passengers with large numbers of gamma rays. I think that is the wrong way to look at this. His primary research focus for more than 30 years has been on the physics of lightning detection and protection and related problems in atmospheric electricity. He joined the UA faculty in 1971. I recently did a course on Lightning Protection and earthing/grounding and in the course there were two main technical points. He fails to mention this patent, which is the most important milestone for both confirming and protecting this emerging technology. "We" don't even understand lightning..yet you ass-u-me much about physics here.. The bad news: his testicles were burned. In this Bulletin and in the Sea Grant video "Lightning and Sailboats" we attempt to answer these questions. A lightning struck a 53-year-old man's scrotum and then exited his body through one of his feet in Madrid, Spain. [I]f lightning has burned its way through a mile or more of air (which is a superb insulator), it is hardly logical to believe that a few millimeters of any insulating material will be protective. My understanding is that electricity, .
