A massive thank you to NSSL for the interview, and for the incredible information. NOTE: We will continue to discover larger and larger flashes as our technology improves. It is also possible we've had larger flashes in the past, but did not have the tech to detect them at that time. So, this is the largest DETECTED lightning flash on record. Love it, and thanks for watching!
Love new discoveries about lightning, and/or the weather. I remember when they first discovered Elves, and Sprites and how some effects looks like a visualization of a drum strike. Flat horizontal shockwave with tentacles descending, like a creature from a portal. Electricity is so beautiful!
It’s 4:30 am here , I have vague memories of lightning giving off ionising radiation that can ionise the air a distance away to trigger more discharge.
@@tetravega567 I agree, there is something about the visual that’s so fascinating! Idk if you’ve ever seen or even done it but making lichtenberg wood burnings are really cool visualizations of how electricity expands out to the “easiest” path. It’s like a combination of lightning & tree branch growth in one.
You did a great job interviewing this person, but... Around 6:50: wtf? She studies lightning and doesn't care about plasma physics??????? That makes NO sense!
GOES 16/17 are super awesome satellites! You can actually legally decode the data the transmit, with some simple hardware for about $200. This was insane, glad you covered it!
1.7 GHz is still in the range of cheap RTL-SDR dongles, you might be able to get away with just buying an RTL-SDR+LNA, and building a small (dish)antenna. Could probably be done for less than 50$!
@@Maxjoker98 noaa and meteor can basically be received and decoded with two wires some coax and an sdr. Goes needs some directional antennas (yaggi,dish)
@@zocker9492 What's an directional antenna except some wire, coax, and precise measurement. The "hard" part is having enough low-noise amplification to make out such a weak signal. But a cheap LNA doesn't cost much, and together with a bit of copper and an RTL-SDR you can definitely pick up GOES.
@@Maxjoker98 sadly I cannot receive goes due to my location and I don’t know about it’s signal strength. NOAA and meteor don’t need LNA though. Maybe there is a different though as it is a different signal pattern
You'd also be interested in Upper-atmospheric lightning and Sprite lightning. These are all sorts of phenomana that we've largely only seriously studied since the 90s, so new types have been observed up to 2019 - we still don't even know the colour of that type as the camera that caught it was black and white. Gigantic jets are some of the craziest though, and they also accelerate extremely fast: On September 14, 2001, scientists at the Arecibo Observatory photographed a gigantic jet-double the height of those previously observed-reaching around 70 km (45 mi) into the atmosphere.[20] The jet was located above a thunderstorm over an ocean, and lasted under a second. The jet was initially observed to be traveling up at around 50 km/s (110,000 mph; 180,000 km/h) at a speed similar to typical lightning, increased to 160 and 270 km/s (360,000-600,000 mph; 580,000-970,000 km/h), but then split in two and sped upward with speeds of at least 2,000 km/s (4,500,000 mph; 7,200,000 km/h) to the ionosphere where it then spread out in a bright burst of light.
I definitely find the parallels in physics to be pure astonishment. There are so many things seemingly unrelated that actually are in some way or another intricately tied together. It's almost magic.
Jay, this was such a cool video! Love how you tied previous things into this topic. Wish you the best of luck with doing this full time! And watch out for other Jay, dude has a serious scowl and doesn't seem to take any crap! (Love your personality coming out more and more in your videos!)
Being behind and under squall lines, like 200 miles behind, I've seen lightning cross the entire sky in long branches. They just fan out all across the sky. They are called anvil crawlers. No doubt this is an extreme event of the same thing. Once this was in Norman, Oklahoma, very close to the NSSL and once in Fort Worth, Texas. If you're patient you can get pictures of part of it but its huge. Can't get it all. Usually this far from the updrafts they are rare, but they are beautiful when they happen.
Thank you, plasma Channel, for sharing this information. If not for this video, I did not know that Megaflash lightning bolt in the gulf breaks a world record. It's incredible and fascinating how lightning traveled across three states in seconds. Thank you again for this video!
I have never EVER thought Id subscribe over a segway, but man, not only do you have amazing content, but you smooth yo. Made me get the app too. Now when is the Mark III Ion engine?
Great video, super lightning ⚡️. In Brazil there is a place where the most lightning flashes are recorded in the world, I think it’s a constant thunderstorm there.
Amazing... Totally agree that "mother nature" basically created a large Marx generator. I'm a storm chaser and seen positive "mega" / superbolt lightning. The lightning you describe might be "anvil crawler" / dendritic lightning between the charged layers of the stratiform portions of a thunderstorm (i.e. dissipation stages / behind powerful MCS / squall line).
As an European engineer it warms my heart to hear american scientists using the SI units 😅 That was a great interview, I don't get why it has only 50k views, defenitely deserve more !
The main question is not what discharges it, but rather what is stopping it from discharging sooner. I sometimes hate the experts interviews because they nerd-out on precisely the wrong question, which in the end gets you nowhere near a better understanding of the phenomena. Your analogy of tempered glass is actually brilliant because it DOES hint at what could actually be going on. The lightning pattern does in fact look like a breakup pattern of tempered glass, so that could also point to the reason why this charge does not usually get released. There has to be some kind of 3D orientation/vectoring/layering of the charge distribution for it to behave like that, just like tempered glass has a preferred direction for stress buildup.
Hm... Makes me wonder if one can charge up the smoke in a vortex smoke ring cannon with negative charge in one cannon and positive charge in another and see what happens when the rings collide. Likely just a brief spark or... would they attract each other in a big ring discharge?
Whats interesting is that these types of extremely horizontally extensive lightning discharges can lead to various transient luminous events such as sprites.
wow- mind blown … one of my hobbies is storm chasing, so i’ve seen plenty of lighting strikes. i thought i knew lightning… turns out, i’m just starting to learn!! sweet!!!
I think Tesla did the same experiment with multiple spark gaps in series. If I remember right. he was searching for ways to turn off the spark as soon as possible, in high frequency applications.
I studied "Tornado Alley" a long time ago. After reading jokes about how trailer parks were hit a lot I wanted to see if there was physical evidence of my hypothesis that the aluminum in the trailer parks was possibly attracting the energy of the storms and it turns out there are several mines around the states impacted by tornadoes and high winds. To go along with my aluminum ore deposits hypothesis, I think when the Earth was younger and more volcanically active lightning occuring like this might have been more common and is how the ozone layer and pressures for our comfortable atmosphere for mammals came to be after the 66 million year ago impact.
I can’t even imagine what the Transient Luminous Events above this lightning looked like. Horizontally extensive lighting often triggers Red Sprites, Elves and other TLE in the upper atmosphere high above these thunderstorm complexes.
"my followers are people who like sciences and physics, do please nertify' :D And that's was the reason I liked this video so much. Alike her becoming so well experiencing nerd.
The thing about weather electrostatics is that it deals with absolute levels of charge, as opposed to the relative charge you’ll get in the capacitors of a Marx generator. I don’t claim to understand absolute charge electrostatics, but it definitely opens a new door of being able to drain charge from only one side of a capacitative unit. Your guest’s explanation suggests that these capabilities allow the function of a Marx generator to be replicated without needing those diagonal resistive elements.
Thanks. Looks like you might be spot-on in your theory. TH-camr Gina Maria Colvin Hill made videos allegedly showing lightning reaching over 5 thousand kilometers. She displayed a map but I don't recall being able to see the source of the map / video / graphics. It was about 2 or 3 months ago and you could probably find them by video titles. I remember the presentation showed perfectly thin, straight lines, which I wondered at but never looked into further. Gina doesn't seem to have a super-high education level, but her intuition and personal research is impressive, and her videos do push thru the boundaries of our current societal paradigm. Thanks Again.
@@PlasmaChannel I will keep watching you. Maybe you will find out where the &^/==?; those graphics came from, and what those dozens of straight lines represented. Thanks. Excellent videos.
When she was describing this mega flash I was correlating it to ice formation. You can super cool water but if you don't have a catalyst to start the crystal structure the ice won't form you just have really cold water.
Most of the precipitation related theories on charge generation in thunderstorms fall into one of two categories: the inductive or polarization mechanism initiated by the ambient fair-weather field, and the non-inductive mechanism connected with certain electrochemical or thermoelectric particle characteristics. This numerical study addresses the question of which mechanism gives more realistic results with regard to charge distribution and field strength and what effect a combination of the two processes produces.

Hi Jay, I was thinking just before you said it a cascade discharge! and individual charged clouds.

But in the meantime your getting ever closer to my fav. ball lightening, nice blog keep it positive 😄👍🇬🇧

Can you do the particle physics for the volume of water needed ("cloud creation") that shows the particle mass needed to create the critical charge needed for a bolt of lightning? I ask this as maybe you're the right person to carry out an experiment to create lightning as nature does.
I agree with those who believe that is was a series of smaller strikes that triggered each other. This appeared to be one big strike. No I am no expert. In the 80s while reaching on a high speed spark gap. We used very large ceramic capacitors. When one started to fail it produced a series of capacitor failures one after another. You could only see this type of failure on a speed camera. It would have been interesting to see this lightning strikes in high speed.
LOL... Everything is bigger in Texas! Wait... Which way was that there Bolt-O-Lightnin going?? ;-) I used to live in Texas and I loved the time of year when those big anvil heads came down from the north and lit up the sky.
Ok great explanation and all but my uneducated manic mechanic brain sees a capacitive discharge of the earth (mainly from increased incoming plasma from the sun🤷🏼♂️) areas with more metals and insulators in the ground more inductive charging and capacitive discharge 🙈🙉⚡️⚡️⚡️love your work man ! Thx 🙏

...little past half way thru the video- nice, thanks ...the effect is easily realized by charging/discharging up a sheet of mylar ...this can be done by suspending the mylar sheet on or near the dome of a vandegraff generator and with your hand on the other side of the mylar to be the opposite electrode and pull the mylar sheet out of the field ....now discharge the mylar- touch it and observe- best in dark room : )
Imagine Sir Nikola Tesla creating a huge lightning bigger than this.............⚡......and as always your videos are mind blowing, I always like physics which contains high voltage, that's why I love to watch your videos, I love your work Sir Jay 😁👍⚡
Thanj you! Really cool! You should have asked also people like Andrew Hall or Wal Thornhill because everything is electric... Rain is a electric discharge event too...
I love the everything, but I'm dumbfounded at what I just heard at like th 6:30 timestamp: did the so-called expert on lightening just tell you and your audience that she doesn't know much about plasma physics? Wow, we're doing it wrong with the specialization shit.
I may have the something what I call arc lighting. Look on my channel. At video called what is this? and or I saw is things that floating around a thunderstorm. When I get slow motion video from it it turns out that the bead lightning races across the sky.

Thanj you! Really cool!
You should have asked also people like Andrew Hall or Wal Thornhill because everything is electric... Rain is a electric discharge event too...
Glad you enjoyed
Will Smith level slap 😂
I love the everything, but I'm dumbfounded at what I just heard at like th 6:30 timestamp: did the so-called expert on lightening just tell you and your audience that she doesn't know much about plasma physics? Wow, we're doing it wrong with the specialization shit.
this is a great lecture on plasma and water and how their lovechild is lightning

Meanwhile I'm jus wondering how much ozone was made.
Magnetism. Earth holds a charge too. Experts always talk about & prove electroMagnetism yet always say they can't figure out anything.
I may have the something what I call arc lighting. Look on my channel. At video called what is this? and or I saw is things that floating around a thunderstorm. When I get slow motion video from it it turns out that the bead lightning races across the sky.
