The very first fire extinguisher was invented in 1722 by French C. Hopffer. When I look online for more info on this event I don't get info. Can someone get a website with info please! Desparate, I knowTHANKS!
it is just a natural attraction that causes lightning. nothing attracts lightning to something, electricity just wants to find the quickest way to the ground.
That Storing Static Electricity question has been researched many times, only to be railroaded by other relating issues (financing: cost and upkeep and GOVERNMENT.) The MECHANICS of lightning (static electricity) deals with the buildup of POSITIVELY charged elements vs. their NEGATIVELY charged forces. The water droplets, making cloud-forms are POSITIVELY charged as the droplets are forced upward and around each cloud formation. The NEGATIVELY charged forces on the ground attract the positive elements. Depending upon the strength and speed of the Positive-charge (raindrops) %how FAST and STRONG are the winds that caused the cloulds and how much force is in them determines how much static electricity (lightning) will be seen.
It is most likely plugged into a main power source and the batteries are just in case the power goes out and that is probably why it continues to chirp when batteries are out. Just change the batteries and the beeping should stop.
lightning likes to strike shroompaloos like u.so please be careful in lightning stormsi think it would be bes if u just skipped that subject and avoid lightning, bc at this point u have jynxed urself.RUNHIDE.
Lightning. It avoids the ocean, but likes Florida. It's attracted to the Himalayas and even more so to central Africa. And lightning almost never strikes the north or south poles. Lightning is a sudden discharge of electricity between charged regions of thunderclouds and the ground. Only about 25 percent of lightning strikes are cloud-to-ground. The rest are either cloud-to-cloud or intracloud. Another lightning hot spot is in the Himalayas where the extreme local topography forces the convergence of air masses from the Indian Ocean. And where does lightning strike most frequently? Central Africa. There you get thunderstorms all year 'round, [It's a result of] weather patterns, air flow from the Atlantic Ocean, and enhancement by mountainous areas. There are three main problems with harnessing lightning as a source of energy. First, lightning is not consistent. This is not important, since this source of energy would only be used to decrease our dependency from other sources of energy that cause pollution. Lightning would never be able to completely replace fossil fuels by itself; however it could be more economical and safer for the environment. Second, capturing lightning requires a lot of lightning rods and luck. I believe this is a minor issue too. Third and finally, converting lightning into a useful form of energy is the most difficult problem. Lightning is too strong of an electrical current to be easily stored directly into batteries. The cost of doing so would be astronomical too.
