Can they create lightning in a jar?

Question

Maybe not a jar, but can we create lightning without electricity?

Answer 1

Yes.

On a dry day walk across a carpete dragging your feet. Hold your finger close to something metal. The static discharge is lightning on a very small scale. How will hear a crack, and if you are luck, you will see a tiny spark.

The higher the static charge you can build up the further the spark will jump. With a van der Graaf generator you can make huge sparks that jump feet through the air.

Answer 2

Well, lightning IS electricity.

It can be created by rubbing two things together and putting a charge on one, but that requires power, which comes from electricity....Or you can use a van de Graaf generator, but that uses electricity to power a belt which creates static electricity in a great big metal sphere...

So, yes, you can create lightning in a jar.
But no, you cannot create it without some electrical input.

Answer 3

It means there is a unifying force of all things natural, spiritual, whatever. Some people claimed that right before a powerful earthquake they witnessed their candles making a u-shape back down towards the ground. They were usually considered hoaxes until scientists recreated these u-shaped flames with electric fields. So what you witnessed was probably some sort of fire/electricity phenomena. You can also move a flame around with a magnet.

Answer 4

Not really lightning becuase you can't get a high eneough voltage but yes on a small scale.

Answer 5

yes... get ur power level to at least 1000 you should see electricity around your hands... you might even pull off a kamehameha if you are trained correctly

Answer 6

Of course. Take high school physics, and you probably will do it also as a lab experiment.

Answer 7

YES.

Answer 8

no
