It is worth noting that the purpose of the experiment was to study the effectiveness and function of lightning rods installed in buildings.
Last year, researchers from Sao José dos Campos in Brazil captured lightning moving in the opposite direction. Futurism writes about it.
The footage shows the moment when the lightning bolts of several buildings simultaneously stretched and were met by lightning falling from the sky.
To do this, scientists used a high-speed camera that records 40,000 frames per second, located about 140 meters from the impact.
“It is surprising that such a lightning response can be launched not only by a lightning rod, but also by people. Any person in an open space has this ability – he is also able to launch a connecting charge from on the head or shoulder, which will lead to injuries, even if the lightning does not directly strike a person,” said Marcelo Sab, a senior researcher at the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil and author of the student
