Can lightning be created artificially?

Lightning can be artificially generated on a small scale, either by electrostatic machines, impulse generators or even the simple scuffing of one’s feet on carpeted floor on a winter day.Click to see full answer. In respect to this, can lightning be used as a power source?Additionally, lightning is sporadic, and therefore energy would have to be collected and stored; it is difficult to convert high-voltage electrical power to the lower-voltage power that can be stored. Even during a storm, it is very difficult to tell where exactly lightning will strike.Secondly, does lightning kill fish? “So fish under a lightning strike can be killed, if it’s close enough to the surface. But it has to be much closer than you do on the surface of the water.” Also, can you get electrocuted by lightning? Over 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and over 100 of them die as a result of the strike. Lightning is a very dangerous force that, yes, can even reach you indoors if you’re in contact with the telephone or plumbing.Is lightning DC or AC?Lightning cannot be AC, since the wave shape of Lightning current is not sine-wave shaped voltage. A typical lightning current waveform looks something like this as shown below. This complete event (A, B and C) is a single strike. Therefore, Lightning is neither DC nor AC.
