This is another great video of lightning striking a wind turbine. With the advent of cameras in mobile phones, it’s likely we’ll see a lot more of this type of video in the future. Videos like the one below help scientists and engineers learn about the interactions of lightning on wind turbines. In this particular video you can clearly see a high voltage leader emanating from the blade before the big lightning currents travel through the blade....
