The voltage of lightning is approximately 100 million volts. This is about one million times higher than the voltage at home.
A lightning strike discharges electricity in 1/1000th of a second. Using the energy of lightning, we can light up all 9 billion light bulbs for that instant.
If we convert all the energy of lightning into electricity that can be used in a home, it will be enough to power a home for about 50 days.
If all the energy from lightning is converted into usable power for the home, the air conditioner can be used for 10 days.
Storing electricity from lightning has not yet been established with current technology. However, it does not mean that the electricity from lightning is not being used effectively at all. It is said that crops such as rice and mushrooms grow well in years when there is a lot of lightning. In recent years, research has been conducted to grow mushrooms by artificially generating electricity that simulates lightning.
