The Technical Quest for Harnessing Electrical Energy from Lightning
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Harnessing Electrical Energy
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64388/IREV9I7-1719203
Abstract
World today is in search of viable alternative source to drive its power requirements. Various sources of alternate and renewable sources are being tried but the amount of power that can be tapped is not enough in comparison to the need that is required to meet our present power demand. Hence, there is an urgent need to look for some viable option. Here, we present a possibility and technique of harnessing electrical energy from lightning.
