What Happens if Lightning Strikes a Fluorescent Tube?

What happens when lightning strikes a fluorescent tube lamp? To find out, the crew of Tobidase! Kagaku-kun visited the 12-million-volt artificial lightning generator at the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI).

That is not something I have ever thought I would see.

Or had even thought of.

Re: What Happens if Lightning Strikes a Fluorescent Tube?

hopefully they'll come up with some sort of technology that allows you to load a video file into it and you indicate what language it is and when it runs the video through it, it generates subtitles for the file.

would be a useful tool for downloading foreign movies and tv shows
