Info-graphic of different lightning types if anyone is interested.

Moderators, this posts is conflicting with rule E and H of the forum. If this post is deemed inappropriate, please remove it
E. Make sure each post has a point. Unless you're in the chatting board, there's no need for a one-liner post that doesn't have any real content.

H. Don't use the chatting board as a crutch. If your thread involves the topics covered by the more specific boards on the forum, don't post it in the chatting board to avoid having to follow certain rules.

Thanks for posting that! I didn't know they classified lightning into different varieties! Has anyone here seen ball lightning before?

Screw these sword-like sparks people are trying to get. I want my Tesla Coil to give red sprite sparks!

Memorized that list when I was in 6th grade :D I may not know much on HV, but I know a LOT on lightning. Only thing is that there's no such thing as "zigzag" lightning. You can have CGs (cloud to grounds), CCs (cloud to cloud), and GCs (ground to clouds). GCs are more rare, but like how the negative terminal of a battery emits electrons, the names are reversed. Also missing from chart: sheet lightning, heat lightning, and also superbolts. Superbolts have 1k-1M times the energy as normal bolts do. They're extremely rare. Also missing is intercloud, which is within the same cloud. There are many types missing from that... I'm just to lazy to type them all... lol
