A new high-voltage generator concept is promising pulse energies on the scale of hundreds of lightning strikes, a claim that instantly vaults it into the realm of the most powerful electrical devices ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

This lightning generator is called MAGPIE, which stands for Mega Ampere Generator for Plasma Implosion Experiments. (Yep, I know what you’re thinking, us physicists are great at making acronyms). In ...

Wow. I knew lightning could span some distance but this just blows my mind. It will be interesting to see if this was just a fluke moment, everything lining up just right for it to happen, or if this ...
