Lightning!
Feel its awesome power.
Explore lightning and storm safety as the world’s largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator hurls indoor bolts.
In this exciting and popular live presentation, our educators explore the science behind the storm.
With the help of our Van de Graaff generator, they explain what lightning is (as well as its ever-present sidekick, thunder), how to stay safe in a storm (and why your car is such a good place to be), and how magnetism and electricity are related.
In the Theater of Electricity, when the lights go down, the lightning comes up.
