The mysterious phenomenon of

Did you know, lightning can be launched back from the ground into the air?

So far, lightning has always been noted as a phenomenon that comes from clouds of electricity in the sky, launching down a point below the ground thanks to the charge difference.

However, according to a recent study from the University of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), lightning can be beaten in a way that is . inverted - that is, formed from the bottom and "shot" upwards.

The phenomenon of reverse clay lightning has been discovered since the 1930s.

Specifically, these strange lightning strikes are often formed on the top of skyscrapers. They can fight against clouds at altitudes up to 90,000m.

Normally, negative charge ions on the top of the cloud will collide with positively charged ions below, creating lightning strikes . But for the case of "upside down clay" , positive ions move upwards at a much faster rate, forming an interesting reverse lightning ray image.

Normal lightning must be like this.

According to Aleksandr Smorgonskiy, who led the study, the phenomenon of reverse lightning has been discovered since the 1930s. However, in recent years, this phenomenon has been worrying many people due to the development of the industry. wind power . Wind turbines are often placed on high mountains, so it is very susceptible to negative impacts from lightning, especially inverted clay.

With data for 15 years on two wind-powered mountains in Europe, Smorgonskiy discovered wind turbines here that had a frequency of "counterproductive clay" 100 times higher than normal. Of these, 80% of these were self-propelled by turbines.
Smorgonskiy said the difference in air temperature could be one of the causes of this phenomenon. However, the official cause for this phenomenon is still mysterious.
