      Yeah but I'm pretty sure he was wrong about the speed of lightning. At 1:40, he says the leader goes 1/10th the speed of light. But that's NOT right. EVERY source I've read claims that the lightning "leader" goes MUCH SLOWER; closer to like a 1/1000th the speed of light. That's 1,000 times slower than what Prof Liew said. The return strike can be between 10% to 50% the speed of light so he was right about that part.

      @@CosmicG777 I was thinking that that statement didn't seem close to accurate. If that were the case, then you could go back to the previous video about lightning, watch the leaders come down, and just think of something going 10x the speed to get light speed. Because each leader stayed in view for much more than 10 frames, that would have meant that they could have captured things moving at the speed of light just using the phantom, which is obviously not possible.

    My physics professor had one of these, and they are so much fun. We did an exercise where about seven people standing on plastic chairs and grounded at the end of the line, with one person also on a chair touching the generator building a charge. That one person and the first in line gradually brought their elbows together and it resulted in a massive static shock at about a foot apart and an unbelievably bright flash. I'd be interested to see if you two could recreate that. Love the content, keep it up!

    A note: Do not stand or sit next to or against a lone tree in an open field during a thunderstorm. Lighting can hit the tree and jump to you.
    If you are stuck in a very open and flat field during heavy lightning, and absolutely cannot make it to shelter, last I heard, best thing is to crouch low to the ground, with your feet as close together as you can manage, curl up into a ball, and cover the back of your head with your hands. You don't want to lay down, because if lightning hits near you it will travel outward through the ground and might travel through you. Similar for keeping your feet together; less chance lightning discharging through the ground will travel through you. The leaders coming up from the ground tend to form off of sharp points, that's why you curl into a ball. And any slight depression in the ground is advantageous to place yourself in as well.
    Disclaimer; I'm not an expert. I am a weather enthusiast, though, and did take a meteorology course in college.

    • @BorisOZ
      @BorisOZ 5 років тому

      The main reason you shouldn't stand next to a tree is because the tree can explode from the lightning, sending shrapnel everywhere.

    In the half-blown-out frame of the lightning traveling up you can see a lens reflection of the lightning on the right side of the frame which is much easier to see (because it's not blown out as much).

      ​@@buckoff006 It does follow the path of the lightning. Look at this screenshot: imgur.com/QIu6rF0
      I overlayed a screenshot from before the lightning strike with a screenshot of the reflection rotated by 180° (because it is a reflection). It matches perfectly.
      You can also see similar reflections on other sequences they shot.
      For anyone else: We're talking about the lightning they're talking about from 5:18 on.

    Dan & Gav, I was struck by lightning Sept. 1979 while going to college at USF Tampa. I was riding my bike, rain storm approached us, lightning came down, struck only myself (not girl riding bike beside me). It bifurcated in front of my face & struck both my hands on the handlebars, popped my bicycle into the air & I crash landed. Both my hands/fingertips were smoking! Raced to hospital, lucky to be alive. They said the rubber in my bike tires saved my life (rubber grounded my lightning strike). Ultimately, all my fingernails fell off & grew back weeks later.

    As someone with a really low electrical resistance, I feel Dan's pain. I get zapped a lot, especially by car doors.

      I think you were measuring your resistance. If you read ten times your partner's resistance for yourself, your body actually resisted current flow ten times more than him & dissipated 1/10th of the power.
