SCIENTIFIC MOTIVATIONS
How does lightning form inside a storm cloud? This is one of the greatest modern-day electrical mysteries, as researchers recently discovered that the electric fields in storm clouds are only a tenth of what's needed to form discharges... Yet thousands of lightning strikes hit the earth every minute. Our goal is to reproduce the electrical conditions inside storm clouds, where we can observe for the first time how electricity at the megascale performs its unusual magic. |
WORKS IN PROGRESS
The 1:3 scale coil construction is underway! Clink the link below for progress photos. This 40ft high coil tower will serve as our engineering proof-of-concept for the full-scale 8.8 million volt twin towers. This 1:3 scale model will be nearly twice the size of the largest Tesla Coil ever built. |
