You have remembered NASA’s Dart mission, by which the direction of the asteroid weighing 500 crore kg from the spacecraft, which was coming towards the earth, was changed and it could be decided that in future the earth can be saved from these asteroid attacks. Just like this another experiment has happened recently regarding electricity in which scientists have got success and maybe in the coming years this new technique will be used leaving the old technique.
Recently scientist have experimented it with installation of metal lightning rods on our buildings to protect them from lightning. So that the lightning falling through it can reach directly inside the earth or its direction can be changed and the incident can be avoided. In the recent experiment, it was not used but it was done using laser beam. The reason behind this is that the rods that we use now have a radius, they protect a small area. And due to which lightning incidents happen outside its scope, the reason is that these rods do not protect a large area.
Scientists says, a large area can be protected with laser beam, actually for the first-time scientists changed the direction of celestial electricity by rapid firing in the sky with laser. This was an experiment that was done by a team of scientists on the mountains of the Alps in Switzerland. Scientists said that with the help of laser beam, we can save a large area from the outbreak of lightning and the loss of life and property due to falling of lightning can be avoided.
Above the Swiss Alps, 25 scientists installed laser beam firing technique. Which was a very high energy laser beam throwing device. This experiment was done a total of 4 times, during this time every second 1000 high energy laser beams were fired in the sky and as a result it was found that the celestial lightning took the support of the laser light and went directly on the path told by it.
A powerful laser beam creates a long conductive path in the sky, and through this path, lightning goes straight up into the sky or back to the ground, said Aurelien Hoard, a physicist at the Paris-based Laboratory of Applied Optics and leader of this project. It is like drilling a deep hole in the air.
In this regard, one after the other, scientists always try to solve the problem of some area or the other every year, many researches are going on how to protect them from natural calamities, and in this direction, scientists have Changed the direction of lightning by firing rapid laser in the sky. This was an experiment to know whether lightning can be avoided by this or not, which was successful. At present, this experiment will take time to develop completely.
