Each day, the lightning strikes the Earth five million times. At every moment in the world, there are 2,000 thunderstorms simultaneously.

This represents a hundred flashes per second. Lightning is a discharge of 100 MV,Million Volts an intensity of 30 KAKilo Amperes and a temperaure of 27,000°C, hotter than the surface of the sun. As there are 100 of them per second, the energy of lightningSee L'énergie fulgurale has an enormous planetary potential. The instant equivalent of a nuclear power plant with four phases, and without any nuclear waste, what is advantageous. This counting only the lightnings that hit the ground.Or any appropriate structure. See La porte de la foudre

For the climatologists estimate that 90% of lightnings do not beat down on Earth, but remain in the cumulonimbus clouds, where they form the sheet lightnings. The global potential of lightning energy would therefore represent ten times more electric current: 60 million Gigawatts per second. Totally free. The cumulonimbus clouds are real lightning power plants! In these times of energy shortages and combat against all forms of pollution, why not use this almost inexhaustible source?

Maybe because we do not know. It is true that  geo-electricity,See Géo-énergie much less dangerous, does not interest either our engineers. Only devote it, in Asia, the followers of Feng Shui, and among us, the  geobiologists.Feng-Shui, geobiology: see  L'oeil du labyrinthe But their work is not recognizedLike many others! Please read Trop vieux pour être vrai by the scientific community ... Moving from one cloud to another at a speed of 62,500 miles per second, these air flashes form ribbons, chaplets, fascinating trees stretching sometimes over 100 miles.

This explains why the lightnings can fall into an area where the characteristic storm clouds, the anvil-shaped cumulonimbus clouds, are not yet present. This also shows that we can  attract lightningSee La porte de la foudre in any weather, provided to accumulate in a reliefLike mountain, peak, tower, ark, pyramid, menhir… Please read La centrale d'Avebury the electric potential sufficient to create a polarity. Lightning produces other lesser-known phenomena, such as blue jets, elves, goblins or red sprites, and fire balls.Click + 

The sprites are strange flashes, huge sheets of soft light that leave the cloud base and deploy to the mesosphere. About one in twenty storms can generate them: they rise up to 56 miles of altitude and spread on a width of 9 miles. One can see them only at night,Unlike the white fireballs above crop-circles du Wiltshire using hyper-sensitive cameras. The phenomenon is too short and too little observed to evaluate the energy it displays. But there are in the sprites energy resources of unusual power and nature,For instance, sprites are developping ionized plasmas that interest Jean-Pierre Petit. See Antigrav that will interest the engineers of the future.

The elves appear with some sprites, always preceding them, and always shorter than them. They propagate as a sphere, at the speed of light. When a sphere reaches its critical altitude, around 56 miles, it crashes in a shape of ring.This evokes some effets of MHD. Read Hyper-véloces The study of these electromagnetic phenomena could bring us miracle solutions, especially in the fields of gravitologySee Antigrav and health: like medecine-men and shamans of the past, the elves' ionization could cure the morpho-genetic fields constituting the material body and its subtle envelopes.

The blue jets have been observed for the first time in 1994. They are geysers of ascending light that have the form of an inverted umbrella. They come out of the cloud base, usually just after the fall of lightning, and just above it. These conical jets of midnight blue light propagate from the cloud tops up to a speed of about 75 miles per second and never seem to exceed 25 miles in altitude. Are they a kind of reactive power such as occurs in hydro-electric power plants? Impossible to say: the phenomenon is still too little known.

Last but not least: ball lightning, or fire ball,See Sous le feu du ciel is a phenomenon that is far from being approved unanimously in the scientific community. It is indeed a strange event, that is more akin to science fiction than to any weather science. According to some researchers, these fire balls are not even connected with thunderstorms. Indeed fire balls have been seen by nice weather, under unclouded sky. As such, and for many other reasons, lightning fire balls deserves a very special study.Click +
