Best Satellite-Something Commercial Ever
>> ^rougy:
So...the satellite dish is under her cheerleader skirt?
Her skirt forms a partial Faraday cage requiring her to lift it for optimal reception.
747 Struck By Lightning
>> ^spoco2:
You do all know that aeroplanes are designed to easily take lightning strikes? Because of their metal bodies, the lighting just runs around the outside on its way to ground.
By way of further explanation:
Adding a little information to what spoco2 linked too above. Many things act as a Faraday Cage which if used correctly will cancel out the forces in play,
Hit By Lightning Caught on Tape and the nasty results
Those of you saying that being in a car during a lighting storm isn't safe have no idea what a Faraday cage is obviously. It's not so much that the car isn't grounded (as hey, that much voltage will easily just arc over to the ground), what a car gives you is a cage surrounding you that is made of metal, far more conductive than you, and a path of far less resistance for the electricity... hence, you're safe inside
Unless it's a plastic car.
Then you're fucked.
Which is also why Aeroplanes (yes, we spell it that way in Australia) which start moving to other materials for their skin actually have to insert metal back into them to give a path for lighting to follow lest the plane be hit.
I just love internet know it alls who don't really know anything.
And yes, many people have survived lighting strikes. But yeah, this would seem to be pretty darn fakey fake fake.

IMO, this video is staged. The burns are electrical, but are from being 'grabbed' by high voltage, usually by workers, not during a lightening storm. Cooking like that takes time and high amperage.
When you are in a car, what protects you from ultimate harm during a lightening strike is that the roof and body act like a Faraday Cage, protecting you from carrying the current.
What's important here is what you (or anybody) can do with amateur special effects and a little mild misinformation. We'll probably see some more of this just before November. If you do it right you can change the course of history.

Are Cell phone towers and HV power lines killing us?
just put a faraday cage around your house, and wear your tinfoil hat. And cool your surroundings down to absolute zero, because otherwise absolutely everything will be emitting low frequency radiation towards you. And make sure lighting never strikes within 10 miles of you.
Top Gear- Richard Hammond gets hit by Lightning.
That's very cool. I've often thought that you'd be fine inside a car, as I did think it made a nice Faraday cage, but it's good to see it shown... also good to see the car just keeps on ticking afterwards too.
