  • Lightning is fast. One of the fastest things that occurs on planet earth. Gav and Dan are up for a challenge and fly all the way to Singapore in monsoon season to see what they can get at 100,000+FPS.

      If you play it back in 0.25x speed you can see it actually gets as light as day but lasts so short it appears to only show the silhouettes. In 0.25 speed paused at the right moments it looks like daytime with some weird ominous cloud at the top.

    So, basically, lightning branches out from the cloud in search for the fastest route to the ground and whichever branch reaches the ground first lights up?

    • @calebvaldecanas8867
      @calebvaldecanas8867 4 года назад +1290

      Yes, although it doesn’t really “light up” per say. All the energy from the other tendrils go back up and to the main branch that touched the ground. All that energy going in one direction down the same path creates an intense amount of light.

      Just a little correction, the lightning travelling from the clouds to the ground has a speed of about 400,000 km/h. When the path is successfully made, then the lightning going from down to up by draining the side bolts move up(the return bolt) at 33% the speed of light

    Awesome. At slo-mo you can see those lightning like reversed river systems. A couple of main rivers are feeded by an increasing number of tributary streams, sucking positive charges into the cloud, until one of them hits the path of less resistance from the ground and all charges collapse quickly through that single channel.

    I’ve noticed that lightning branches out like a tree, and that the first “branch” to make contact with something is the one that sticks. While every other branch gets completely erased and adds it’s power to the main one. And if two manage to make contact at the exact same time, is splits the energy between the two.

    • @Platypi007
      @Platypi007 3 года назад +33

      The negative charge in the cloud is looking for a place to ground, that's why all the branches are reaching down. There are positively charged arms that reach up from the ground and the first of those that it makes contact with completes the circuit and the cloud dumps its charge into ground in a series of bright pulses down that main path.

    It is said that the step leader of a lightning bolt travels at a speed of 224,000 MPH (the bolts that travel down from the cloud), while the return stroke (stroke that travels up) travels 1000 times that (220,000,000 MPH, or a 1/3 the speed of light). Insanely fast.

      Pause the video at one of the lightning strikes and then use period and comma keys to scroll through the frames. You'll see that the leader gets close to the ground but doesn't quite reach it, and then all of a sudden there's the insanely bright flash. That's the moment where the positively charged upwards lightning (which you can't see) connects with the negatively charged downwards lightning and this, and only this, is the actual lightning strike. Everything you see after the flash is just the glow of the superheated air but the actual electrical discharge is already finished.
      BTW, is it weird to watch a slow mo guys video in slow motion?

    Amazing to see at this scale how the 'tendrils' seek the path of least resistance, and once the best one starts to reach its connection, robs the others of their energy

      It's less a path of least resistance, and more just random searching. A though experiment I've heard of is comparing the tendril to a 60 metre diameter sphere. The tendril moves in radii in random directions, and essentially whichever branch or feeler makes contact first is the one where all the energy is transferred. It's like having a group of ants trying to get from one side of ravine to another (and the ants are blind). smaller groups split off from the main group into ever smaller branches, and whichever group finds the other side first somehow sends a signal and the other groups follow the scent trail exactly to get to the other side of the ravine, regardless of whether or not it's the shortest route.

    The way the lightning searches its path is mesmerizing... Nature in all its Mightiness !

    I'm watching this at night time on a 55 inch monitor. Seriously bright even with the room light on :D
    I just wish I lived where I was when I was a kid. We had this long verandah on the front of the house with 180 degree views so you could watch storms / the city in the distance. I love watching and listening to thunder storms.

    I’ve been fortunate enough to go to Singapore and see a lightning storm while I was there. Being from somewhere that doesn’t see that much lightning, it was absolutely insane and actually one of my favorite memories of Singapore, which is really saying something.
