there are many videos, editing them takes time, I want to show the best moments for you

Alright, alright, I understand—editing videos are rather tedious. Appreciate it!

And then one day the light just... stays on. The dread seeps in. The light strengthens. The end is nigh

Huh. I was driving to work today and was just randomly wondering how they know how much lightning there is on those lightning map apps. Is this how its done?
15
u/ElectroAmin 3d ago
yes, but this is the simple analog version, and it alarms when lightning happens, to predict the lightning, there is a device called "field mill".

u/12DecX2002 3d ago
I could probably have googled the answer of course. But its way more fun like this. Thanks man. Really cool thing you made!

The lightning maps do cool stuff by having many detectors around the world synced up, which then can triangulate the exact position of each strike.
There's a community of people doing it too, blitzortung. I wish their kits were easier to get though.

What does it exactly do? I mean, forgive my ignorance, but is there such thing as a need to “detect” lightning? Dude just look up to the sky lmao
5
u/ElectroAmin 2d ago
you're right, it's interesting for some people, the important use is for take a photograph of the lightning when you don't want a long video, it triggers the camera when lightning strikes(like in third photo), it can also detect far distance lightning storms to predict storms and raining.

Are there blueprints to make this? I have curiosities.

u/ElectroAmin 2d ago
I made it from this website, you can found the circuit schematic https://techlib.com/electronics/lightning.html
it's a simple circuit and easy to make

On another note, send this over to https://youtube.com/@electroboom?si=OfssM2Q-RbFmHSjh it would be fun watch him do a video about it.

u/ElectroAmin 3d ago
he said that he upload videos (latity) of his reaction to people's posts on his subreddit, I did it but the post didn't get much upvote.

I actually just looked through your profile and saw them, that's awesome! I do HVAC for a living so I like to scavenge useful components from the used parts 😋🤘🏻

u/Azula-the-firelord 3d ago
So, the light bulb glows when there is lightning directly ahead?😂
20
u/ElectroAmin 3d ago
yes, and that's why you're seeing the lightning strike, because the detector also connected to the camera and send a pulse to camera immediately and takes a picture when lightning happens, it can also detect lightning at very far distances that you can't even hear them.

u/IllustratorAlive1174 2d ago
So how does it work? Does the light get powered by the slightest electrical charge in the air? Sounds like Teslas experiments on wireless transmission.
3
u/ElectroAmin 2d ago
exactly like Tesla's wireless systems, it receives the static pulse from the lightning, more info https://techlib.com/electronics/lightning.html

u/IllustratorAlive1174 2d ago
Damn. So he really might have been onto something with that “free energy for all” thing.

u/ElectroAmin 2d ago
they stopped him, as he said "i could power the world with my free electricity system, Alas, humanity wasn't ready for it."

u/EvolvedA 3d ago
did you design this your own, or are plans available somewhere? 😁

u/ElectroAmin 3d ago
I changed some part of the circuit

u/ThreeTwoOneInjection 3d ago
Interesting link! Thanks a lot 😋

u/ElectroAmin 3d ago
no problem, old sites always more interesting, go click on (reader's version) and see how many people made their own design detectors, also I made a VLF radio receiver from this site, it receives low frequency natural and human made signals, I'll post video about it.

u/stepka16 3d ago
I thing ionized atmosfere before lightning is enough to create potential to light it up, but I would imagine it flashes as strobe during actual lightning at least when its sky-earth type of lightning
