Scientists changed the direction of lightning by firing rapid laser in the sky. This scientific experiment has been done so that people can be saved from lightning in future. To prevent him from falling on the ground. The experiment was carried out over the mountains of the Alps in Switzerland.
For the first time, scientists changed the direction of lightning by rapid firing laser in the sky. With this experiment, it has been established that instead of lightning rods on buildings, laser beams can also be used. Due to this, there will be no loss of life and property due to lightning. However, this experiment will take time to develop completely.
Laser physicist Stelios Jorjakis of the University of Crete, Greece, told that it was a great scientific experiment. Scientists were working for the last 20 years to make this experiment successful. Stelios was not a part of this experiment. But he told that this experiment will prove to be very useful in future.
At present, metal lightning rods are installed on buildings. So that electricity can be brought directly inside the earth or its direction can be changed. But the size of the rods is limited. That's why they cannot secure a large area. But through laser beam, we can save a large area from the outbreak of celestial electricity.
Laser physicist Valentina Shumakova of the University of Vienna told that the laser goes very high in the sky. This experiment was being successful in the lab for many years. But for the first time it was done on top of the mountain. Over the Swiss Alps, 25 scientists used the technique of firing laser beams. It was a very high power laser beam throwing device. It was installed near the Santis telecommunication tower.
Laser Diverts Lightning Strike
The leader of this project and physicist Aurelien Hoard of the Paris-based Laboratory of Applied Optics told that a powerful laser beam creates a long conductive path in the sky. Means a deep tunnel. Through this tunnel, the celestial electricity goes straight up in the sky or back towards the ground. It is like drilling a deep hole in the air.
During the experiment that lasted for 10 weeks, the laser beam turned the direction of lightning 4 times in the midst of a storm. High speed cameras were installed to capture the picture of this scene. The celestial lightning took the help of laser light and went straight on the path told by him. This means that in future, lightning can be diverted with the help of laser. He can be sent towards a safe direction. During the experiment, scientists fired 1000 high energy laser beams into the sky every second.
