Lightning Detector Circuit Test

Показать описание
We've been getting a lot of storms rolling through as of late. This sorta inspired me to build up a small lightning detector, which when it detects a high burst of energy from a lightning bolt, it flashes the small LED. I had to tweak it a bit to get it to even blink to a piezoelectric lighter, but it does work now.

The circuit can be found here.

I plan to do a portable version. Something for say, camping. Or maybe riding. Itll go into a waterproof otterbox case. And possibly include a small piezo buzzer, and a rechargable li ion cell.

Brilliant! I should have known testing with a lighter could be possible, I just recently learned about the special crystal inside! Man I love this circuit, I gotta build it... Not much current is flowing through the circuit right?

do you think it is possible to detect the usage of a cattle prod with this?
