A large amount of power is necessary, 5 terawatts, over the short pulse duration. For the moment, the application of laser-channeled lightning is to use energy to divert the lightning and prevent damage instead of harvesting the lightning energy.

This work paves the way for new atmospheric applications of ultrashort lasers and represents a significant step forward in the development of a laser based lightning protection for airports, launchpads or large infrastructures. Laser-guided lightning. Nat. Photon. (2023)
Another major challenge when attempting to harvest energy from lightning is the impossibility of predicting when and where thunderstorms will occur. Even during a storm, it is very difficult to tell where exactly lightning will strike.

The goal of the Laser Lightning Rod (LLR) project that started in 2017 was to investigate a new type of lightning protection based on the use of upward lightning discharges initiated through a high-repetition-rate terawatt laser [2].
So the solar energy is being converted into kinetic energy through water and gravity. If we could use the electricity from lightning to perhaps heat up a certain quantity of material and then release that heat over time to generate electricity then that might harness at least a portion of the energy released in a lightning strike. Or dissipate ...
A terawatt laser filament is shown to be able to guide lightning over a distance of 50 m in field trials on the Säntis mountain in the Swiss Alps. Lightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth''s surface are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection ...

Since the late 1980s, there have been several attempts to investigate the possibility of harvesting lightning energy. A single bolt of lightning carries a relatively large amount of energy (approximately 5 gigajoules or about the energy stored in 38 Imperial gallons or 172 litres of gasoline). However, this energy is concentrated in a small location and is passed during an extremely short period of time (microseconds ); therefore, extremely high electrical power is invol…
Hence, the single stroke impulse voltage is used as a mock of lightning. Regarding the energy storage device, the capacitor is employed due to the reliability, cost-effective and it is the most common. In addition, the direct tapping system and the high speed switching is most wanted in order to make the whole system more realistic. The capacitors are …

Furthermore, lightning has a lot of energy; a single bolt can power 150 million light bulbs. The idea of harnessing so much energy and storing it is immensely appealing. There are a number of problems with trying to harness the tremendous energy of lightning bolts. The first is that lightning is highly unpredictable. There is no way to know ...
