Summary form only given. In the following up of our initial work on ball lightning, we have developed a special camera for photographing the initial stroke of a lightning discharge. The object is to obtain time resolved photographs of the closed current loops observed in sparkovers in the Holifield 25 MV, DC accelerator at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The apparatus comprises a commercial lightning...
Summary form only given. We have made what appears to be ball lightning in a simulated zero gravity environment. This experiment continues the work that was previously reported. The apparatus comprises a horizontal discharge tube filled with atmospheric air. The apparatus is rotated around the horizontal axis to reduce the vertical thermal convection that removes thermal energy from the ball during...
