Theoretical evaluation of dielectric materials for lightning energy ...

Helman described the problems in harvesting lightning energy, which are as follows: Lightning cannot be available on demand. It is difficult to direct a flash of lightning. Lightning consists of a huge amount of energy. Lightning occurs too quickly. If there were a blockage in the path of the lightning energy, then it would destroy the equipment.

Can we harvest the energy of lightning? | HowStuffWorks

The logistical problems involved in making it work are significant. First of all, there''s the basic fact that thunder storms are sporadic and lighting strikes random; considering that energy demands are steady, dependable energy sources are preferable.. Second, it''s not so easy to capture energy delivered in one enormous blast in a split second.

Lightning as an energy harvesting source?

Source: "Laser Guided Lightning", Nature photonics, 2023. This ability to perhaps direct a lightning strike brings up an obvious question: why not channel this energy to some sort of energy storage system (ESS)? After all, that energy is otherwise wasted since it is truly and literally grounded.
