Estimates based on lightning studies indicate that there is a leakage current between the earth and the ionosphere (which is charged by the sun) of roughly 2pA/m^2 that's two picoamps per square meter. 2 e-12 amps. So yes some energy could be collected by an array of feild concentrating

FYI, my friend Jeremy Jones tells me he has written a book, Negotiating Change: The New Politics of the Middle East. Jeremy has been involved in Middle East affairs since the mid-1970s, and though I haven't laid my hands on it yet, the book is surely worth a read. Here's a Baltimore Sun oped

Well depends on how you define accomplishment If your goal is completely destroying the US's credibility abroad and at home, and working towards destabilizing the entire planet, both politically and climitalogially, I suppose both accomplishments are succeeding in that. GA. What a

Hello. A friend had a similar,kind of, idea to capture electricity. He was proposing using a large plate suspended above the ground, isolated except for a light grounding strap. His idea was to capture a lightening strike and create a giant capacitor. Does this sound feasible? Or would it

the capacitor would have to withstand the voltage that made an ionized track thousands of feet long. Lightning is best avoided I think. Perhaps you could use it to charge a cryogenic superconductor - convert the energy to a magnetic field, a circulating current, thus reducing the voltage
