A small German chemical group calledBlitzortunghas develop a crew - sourced map that shows real - metre lightning strike around the world .
The maps are drive by a mesh of Volunteer who have set up a $ 275 detection kit comprise of an aerial organisation , amplifier , and controller . Each place can observe radio signals from a lightning strike and convey the precise clock time and locating to the Blitzortung server . outstandingly , the spotting stations do n’t have to be penny-pinching to the lightning strike ; a receiving place , say in New York , can still beak up lightning strikes in the Caribbean ( low frequency RF waves can travel one thousand of miles ) .
The realtime map display five main global region ( Europe , Oceania , North America , Asia , and South America ) , and six local regions ( Texas , Florida , New York , Minnesota , California , and the Dominican Republic ) .
The aim of the project is to establish a small budget lightning position connection with a high number of place . Gohereif you ’re interested in address your area .
