The Brave Little Toaster made it look easy: get struck by lightning, hook it up to a dead car battery, and boom fully charged. But could that actually work?
In this episode, Kaden dives into the science of lightning to find out what would really happen if you tried to capture one of nature’s most powerful electrical discharges. We explore why lightning is so insanely powerful, whether we could ever harvest it for electricity, how the power grid protects itself from strikes, and why batteries definitely don’t appreciate receiving 100 million volts all at once.
Plus, we put Hollywood science to the test with Frankenstein, find out why lightning is hotter than the surface of the Sun, and bust some of the biggest lightning myths—including whether rubber tires protect you, whether metal attracts lightning, and whether lightning really can strike the same place twice.
So… can you charge a battery with lightning? Technically, yes. Should you? Absolutely not.
