People first created lightning
American scientists have found a way to create rock lightning in the laboratory. Lightning is an electricity phenomenon in the atmosphere that has not been explained.

Dr. Mike Lindsay, the head of research on the rarest form of lightning is "clay rock" , said clay rock as a ball emits light that can float in the sky strangely, and after That exploded violently. Lightning sometimes hurt people, causing damage to buildings. It is sized from a pea to a few meters in diameter, the light lasts up to 10 seconds.
"Because the probability of clay is only created once in millions of lightning, so far lightning has never been studied by scientific tools," Mike Lindsay said. Lindsay and colleagues studied how to create rock lightning in the laboratory. Results are published in the journal Physical Chemistry.

The BBC said that according to some previous reports, the famous physicist Nikola Tesla could make rock lightning in his laboratory in Colorado since 1900, but he did not describe the method and did not allow any Who copied it.
In the paper, Dr. Lindsay and colleagues describe the previous study to create a ' plasma glow discharge' in the form of a cloud of charged gas on an electrolyte solution.
New experiments still use the previous method, but there are additional conditions to keep the 'glowing ball' lasting for as long as possible.
Dr. Lindsay explains: "I don't think that what we create is lightning, although the first phase of this discharge produces plasmoid (a tight structure between plasma and magnetic fields) that has many similarities. with lightning ".
"In this case they are just a circular arc on the surface of the electrolyte solution ," Lindsay said.
The team uses high-speed cameras to track this process and detect changes in acidity levels in the electrolyte solution, resulting in a longer-lasting ball. They rely on infrared radiation emitted from the ball to consider its density and structure change over time. Results, steam and carbon dioxide are present inside the ball along with some other unknown substances.
Dr. Lindsay added: 'We are not sure if this is a lightning phenomenon but it has many similarities with clay. We are buying additional equipment needed to do the experiment, providing a more convincing result and answer. '
