A possible lightning gun

Well this newbiecan help you answer part of the problems.

First.you only need fifty percent ionization of air.not 100%.

Second use a vandegraff generator not a tesla coil.tesla is ac vdgrafff is dc.

Using a lower voltage of a 100000dc will get rid of the streamer problem.

Use farraday shielding to protect the laser.ie metal window screen.

Or use a taser with prongs and grind off the negative point.

The idea of shooting the laser between two wires is brilliant.

The voltage needs to be at least a thousand volts to perform well.

Now can someone with math skills tell me how to get fifty percent ionization.
thankyou.

...Just another day at LPF!

ain't nobody got time to check dates.

well i thought it was more respectful than starting a new thread on a old subject.so far ive been treated pretty disrectful by the members on here as a newbie.if this keeps up i think i will decline my membership and leave this site.i sm greatful for the info but yall are some really rude folks.

Its not hard to look at the date before you post...

i always thought subject mattered more than date.why start a new thead on an old subject.kinda disrespects the original thread creator of that subject.

Its frowned upon here and in this case the OP is banned so hes not going to be listening or disrespected.

my apologies for the ignorance..
