Laser diversion for Lightning
Public Domain by Edward Aspera Jr.
| For the first time scientists managed to detour lightning by a high frequency laser. It is assumed that the intense laser pulses heat up the air forming a canal that has a higher conductivity thereby diverting the bolt. In the long run the approach may be used to protect infrastructure such as an airport. related: #lightning #detour |
