Usually, people are attracted to the beauty of natural phenomenas like Ball Lightnings because they provide a great view and it’s really interesting to see the force of nature. According to some statistics, about 10,000 cases of Ball Lightnings occurred during history and about 5% American people say that they saw this mysterious phenomena.
Scientists don’t really know too much about it, they don’t even know the source or its composition, but there are many researchers who tried to replicate a Ball Lightning. In the recent history, at the Max Planck Institute and at the Humboldt University in Berlin, scientists generated Ball Lightning plasma-clouds who produced luminous circular spirals which measured 10 to 20cm in diameter and they spotted “quantum nucleus” in the spirals.
Quantum nucleus consist of plasmoids of ionized-gas and the researchers say that they could generate an enormous amount of energy as such a small experiment produced such big luminous spirals. According to Russian scientist, Dr. Kiril Chukanov, the quantum energy is a giant macro atom which consists of two-dimensional quantum nucleus and of a three-dimensional electronic shelf cloud, and he believes that the quantum energy could represent the energy of the future.
Dr. Chukanov has a PhD-degree in thermodynamics and he studied this phenomena for about 15 years, time in which he noticed that the Ball Lightning features uncommon electrical and energy capabilities therefore it could generate great amounts of power if the scientists will find a way to harness it. Well, until quantum energy becomes a reality scientists need to do more research so we can’t wait to see what they have prepared for us.
The way it looks alone is simply beautiful
Hello, I’m a student at Jenks and I am doing a report on ball lightning. My research question, “How is ball lightning formed and does it have anything to do with something like weather?” has still not been answered. I am looking for an expert on the matter and I would like it if you could tell me where I can find one.
To awnser your question you can never be certain on where lightning will strike. So since ball lightning is lightning it is impossible to record when it will happen, and also ball lightning is not common as normal lightning
My mother and grandmother both saw ball lightning, on an occasion before WWII.
She said it was a ball of light which bounced around. She said it was nothing that she would ever have been able to describe until a few years ago when she saw one of those round “lightning” toys. The plastic globes which emit static lightning from the centre.
She said it flew around the back garden sort of whizzing around before it disappeared. She said it made some sort of sound which I cannot recall the description of. I will have to ask her, again. I also cannot recall if she said what the colour was.
Her description made me think of some sort of ball of plasma. Of course, I wasn’t there, so that is just my vision of it.
As I say, I will ask her, again. She still vividly remembers it although she was only something like 8 years old (she is 85, now).
