Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a set of new physical phenomena that we have managed to disclose without leaving a computer. We took into account the thought of the Russian Nobel prize winner Peter Kapitsa that Ball Lighting is a small window in the great world of new physical phenomena. Having observed through suppositive window in a form of Ball Lightning, we clap eyes on a lot of unknown physical phenomena that exist independently on the Ball Lightning. The most significant among them is an existence of the self-confined light in the conventional air atmosphere. We can not forecast when this phenomenon will become generally recognized. At least, the progress over ten years since time when this phenomenon was put forward shows that the scientific community is not ready to the recognition. This fact can be explained easily. A common sense protests against the thought that the conventional white light can confine itself in the conventional air atmosphere. All these objects are familiar very well to everyone and his experience tells that the light travels in straight lines. Before us, nobody even hinted the existence of the self-confined light Similar situation took place with the Copernicus theory. Everyone could see that the Sun moves around the Earth rather than vice versa. About century was required to recognize that Copernicus was right. We hope that smaller time will be required to recognize an existence of the self-confined light.
Book Synopsis Ball Lightning as a Messenger from a New World of Circulating Light by : V. P. Torchigin
Download or read book Ball Lightning as a Messenger from a New World of Circulating Light written by V. P. Torchigin and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows that ball lightning has nothing to do with electricity at all; it is a bubble where ordinary white light circulates in the bubble’s shell in all possible directions. Such a bubble of light is a completely new, previously unknown object, consisting mainly of light, which determines its anomalous behaviour. Such anomalous behaviour coincides in detail with the mysterious and paradoxical behaviour of natural ball lightning. This book argues that natural ball lightning is an experimental sample which confirms this theory. In the book, the necessary conditions for the stability of the bubble of light and the physical laws that ensure its stability are given, making it possible to determine its unique physical parameters. The book is based on over 30 scientific articles published in leading international journals since 2003.

This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball Lightning is trying to tell people over many centuries not only that their knowledge is limited but also to prompt them that there is a perfectly new world governed by the same physical laws where light bubbles are responsible for many phenomena which are called at present abnormal. Ball Lightning is a combination of intense light and a film of air compressed by the light. The compressed air provides circulation of the light in the film. The circulating light, in its turn, provides air compression. It can be said that Ball Lightning is a self-confined light, circulating in a thin spherical layer of compressed air, which is produced be the same light. In other words, the light circulates in a spherical trap, which was set up by the same light. Such puzzles of behaviour of Ball Lightning as penetration through windowpanes, movement in a direction which does not coincide with the direction of the wind, accompanying of airplanes and penetration in their salons, radiation of "cold" white light can be explained only on the basis of the considered concept. The presented theory of light bubbles disproves arguments of opponents that the existence of light bubbles contradicts laws of physics. Methods and the means used in non-linear optics and theory of optical resonators on the basis of waves of type whispering gallery are applied for the description of the phenomena inside a nucleus and internuclear interactions. Consideration of a nucleus as an analogue of a Ball Lightning with finite life time enabled to propose a new approach to an explanation of the phenomenon of natural radioactive decay. Knowledge of physical conditions in Ball Lightnings and the assumption that these conditions are favourable for acceleration of radioactive decay give a lot of information about processes responsible for such decay. Acceleration of radioactive decay opens a way to development of new alternative sources of energy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Down comes a deluge of sonorous hail, Or prone-descending rain. Wide-rent, the clouds Pour a whole flood, and yet, its flame unquenched, Th’unconquerable lightning struggles through. Ragged and fierce, or in red whirling balls, And fires the mountains with redoubled rage. Black from the stroke, above, the smould’ring pine Stands a sad shattered trunk; and, stretched below, A lifeless group the blasted cattle lie. James Thompson, “The Seasons” (1727) have been investigating ball lightning for more than two decades. I published a ball lightning report in Nature in 1976 that received worldwide publicity and I consequently many people wrote to me with accounts of their own experiences. Within a very short time, I had accumulated about 200 firsthand accounts, and the file has continued to grow steadily since then. Several things impressed me. Few of those who wrote to me had any detailed foreknowledge of ball lightning at the time of their observation. Nonetheless, once reports of other phenomena such as St. Elmo’s fire had been eliminated, the remaining descriptions were remarkably consistent. Furthermore, nearly all who contacted me were keen to have an explanation of what they had seen and seemed entirely sincere.
Book Synopsis The Nature of Ball Lightning by : Stanley Singer
Download or read book The Nature of Ball Lightning written by Stanley Singer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837 a comprehensive discussion of lightning appeared in the Annual of the French Bureau des Longitudes with a section on ball lightning which provided for the first time a readily available source in the scientific literature of the basic properties of this curious natural phenomenon. The author, Francois Arago, was the dominant influence in the French Academy of Sciences in the nineteenth century, having become a member of that august body at the age of twenty-three. His attention alone doubtless served at that time to establish the validity of scientific interest in the problem. In addition his discussion covered some of the major questions associated with ball lightning in a nota bly clear-sighted, effective style. Later reconsideration of the same questions often provided no significant improvement over Arago's discussion. There followed a dauntless band of varying but always small number who attempted to account for an apparently simple natural occurrence, a ball of fire usually seen in thunderstorms, with the best knowledge that advancing science could provide. All attempts to deal with this phenomenon were in variably frustrated. The characteristics of ball lightning could be readily cataloged, but they firmly resisted both experimental reproduction and theo retical explanation. One may say that to this day there is no explanation accepted by a large number of scientists. Several investigators of great ability and considerable accomplishment in different fields of science, including Faraday, Kelvin, and Arrhenius, took note of the problem.

Download or read book Ball Lightning and Bead Lightning written by James Barry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to review the known physical aspects of two unusual forms of atmospheric luminous phenomena, to deduce their characteristics and properties, and to promote efforts to improve their understanding. These two forms, called ball lightning and bead lightning, have visual images that differ from the linear image associated with normallightning. The terms "balliightning" and "bead lightning" are used to denote atmospheric luminous forms which are occasionally observed and have the geometrie shape suggested by their name. Vet, it is possible that neither phenomenon may in fact be a form of lightning in the sense of a continuous electrical discharge. Bead lightning has been described as the residue of a cloud-to cloud or cloud-to-ground lightning stroke and has the appearance of aseries of luminous balls separated by dark regions, thus resembling astring of pearls, and remains visible for about one second. Ball lightning has been described as a single luminous globe appearing ne ar the ground after a lightning stroke and also remaining visible for about one second. Both phenomena remain visible far longer than normal lightning flashes.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Three-Body Trilogy, Cixin Liu's Ball Lightning is the story of what happens when the beauty of scientific inquiry runs up against the drive to harness new discoveries with no consideration of their possible consequences. When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier. While Chen’s quest for answers gives purpose to his lonely life, it also pits him against soldiers and scientists with motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge.

Book Synopsis The World of Circulating Light Where Ball Lightnings Live by : Vladimir Torchigin
Download or read book The World of Circulating Light Where Ball Lightnings Live written by Vladimir Torchigin and published by . This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes a completely new world, the existence of which no one had even suspected before. Therefore, this world could not be studied either theoretically or experimentally. The study of the nature of ball lightning made it possible to discover this world. Pyotr Kapitsa, a Russian scientist, Nobel Prize winner, studying the phenomenon of ball lightning, was forced to admit at the end of his life that this bright nut was too strong for his teeth. At the same time, he suggested that ball lightning is a phenomenon from another world unknown to him. Indeed, he was partly right. He was wrong that ball lightning was related to plasma, but he was right that ball lightning belonged to another world unknown to him. The book describes the features of this world and the properties of its inhabitants. The most known among them is ball lightning. This world we called the world of circulating light. This book is not science fiction. The book is based on over eight dozen articles published since 2003 in leading international physics and optics journals. Although scientists have not been able to unravel the nature of ball lightning for many centuries, it turned out that the explanation is so simple that it is accessible to schoolchildren. Such an explanation can be given without a single formula, recalling only the well-known physical laws from the school curriculum.
Book Synopsis Ball Lightning Physics by : V. Torchigin
Download or read book Ball Lightning Physics written by V. Torchigin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally recognized that the Ball Lightning (BL) is a shame of modern theoretical and experimental physics. At present above 2000 publications are known, above 200 various theories are suggested. But nobody can explain even approximately the intriguing and puzzling behavior of BLs. As is market in last book of BL, all theories have one thing in common - none work. The explanation of the BL phenomenon is deadlocked. There is an opinion that the contemporary knowledge about Nature is insufficient to explain the BL. We are trying to show that the knowledge is sufficient but its usage leaves much to be desired. BL problem is an example when a common sense overcomes the conclusion derived from generally accepted physical laws in spite of the fact that the conclusion is confirmed by the phenomenon observed by thousands of eyewitnesses. In 2002 we put forward the hypothesis that neither plasma nor other material particles form BL. In is immutable fact that BL radiates the light. We concluded that BL consists of the light only. But it is known that the light is an electromagnetic wave that propagates in a straight line in a homogeneous optical medium at very great speed. We assumed that the light can propagate along curve closed trajectories that are embedded in a sphere of several centimeters radius. But what is the reason that forces the light to propagate in such a way. Our answer - the reason is the light itself. The light can be self-confined. Seemingly, this is an oxymoron like dry water or hot ice. But the contemporary knowledge allows an existence of the self-confined light. This is an optical space soliton that can be considered as the light that is self-confined in one direction. Once the light can be self-confined in one direction, it can be self-confined in other two directions also. Thus, the contemporary theoretical knowledge does not prevent an existence of the light confined by a limited volume. As a result, BL obeys to laws of optics rather than laws of mechanics. That is why BL behavior differs radically from that of the conventional material objects consisting of molecules, electrons, ions, clusters, nano-particles and so on. We have published about ten papers in International scientific physical journals where we have shown that the behavior of the self-confined light determined by known laws of optics and physics is identical to intriguing and puzzling behavior of natural BL derived from numerous evidence of eyewitnesses. We have explained how BL can penetrate in rooms through window panes, why BL can move upwind, how BL can catch up a flying aircraft and penetrate into its cabin. It is not surprising that BL seems not hot although it radiates the light, the spectrum of which corresponds to the temperature of the body heated up to several thousand degrees Celsius. However, our theory has not gained a generally accepted recognition even though it is mentioned in Wikipedia. We analyze the causes and came to the conclusion that common sense layman in the field of optics protests against the existence of SCL in nature. They consider the self-confined light as an oxymoron, like dry water or hot ice. As far as experts in optics is concerned, that we need to recognize that the contemporary notions about optically induced forces that are foundation of our theory are incomplete and erroneous. In last five years we have published about ten papers in the international scientific physical journals where we presented our notion of optically induced forces. In particular, we have solved the known century-old problem of the theoretical physics about a magnitude of the momentum of light in matter. All these problems are presented in the book in a systematic form.

Download or read book Ball Lightning written by Herbert Boerner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball lightning is an enigma. These luminous objects that appear occasionally during thunderstorms and can reach several meters in diameter have been a mystery to science for about 200 years. Despite several thousands of reported observations, their nature is still unknown. In this book, well documented cases of ball lightning are described and used to unravel some aspects of this mysterious form of atmospheric electricity. Throughout the book, the author discusses the various facets of the problem in an accessible but rigorous style, delivering a readable and informative text that will captivate the curious reader. He finally reaches the surprising conclusion that the solution to this puzzle may have been hidden in plain sight for many years. A foreword by Earle Williams, leading lightning researcher at MIT, introduces the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Science of the UFO now completes author and researcher Kenneth W. Behrendts groundbreaking trilogy on the subject of UFOs. It contains a complete scan of all 24 issues of a previously out of print, privately published, typescript UFO research journal titled Annals of Ufological Research Advances or AURA, for short, which was the basis for his first two volumes, Secrets of UFO Technology and The How and Why of UFOs. Practically every conceivable facet of the UFO enigma was explored in the pages of AURA at a level of scientific detail that was unprecedented in the field of ufology. Those able to obtain some of the limited number of copies of each issue available to the public learned all about such exotic topics as: the sources of the mysterious glows that envelope nocturnal UFOs; why some malfunctioning UFOs must eject liquid metals in order to correct their propulsion system problems; how alien crews tap our earthly electrical power grids to recharge their scout craft; the nature of the mysterious angel hair and devil jelly residues left by hovering craft; how alien paralysis weapons are used for their personal defense and how crews protect their mother ships from attack; how alien telepathy works; how the living space creatures known as zeroids can biologically duplicate UFO capabilities; and much, much more! The material in AURA was intended for the most serious of ufologists seeking ultimate and satisfying answers to the mysteries that they were exploring. Now for the first time in almost two decades, these answers are again available for a new generation of researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball lightning has until this time defied physical explanation. This report summarizes the requirements that must be satisfied by any valid theory, reviews and evaluates previous theories, and evaluates the new theory of Finkelstein and Rubenstein developed under an AFCRL-monitored grant. It is concluded that the latter theory is the only promising one to date but that even this theory needs to be modified. A modification is proposed which would remove the remaining objections and it is suggested that experiments rather than further theoretical development will constitute the next decisive step.
