How much power is needed for laser-channeled lightning?

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.

How does laser-channeled lightning work?

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. ^ a b "Could you power a city with lightning?".

Can laser-guided Lightning protect airports and launchpads?

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)

Can Lightning harvest energy?

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.

Laser-Guided Lightning Using kHz Filamentation at 1030 nm

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].

ELI5: So why can''t we just harness the power from lightning?

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 ...

[PDF] Laser-guided lightning

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 ...

Harvesting lightning energy

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…
