The world is addicted to power, world cannot survive without power. The major problem for shortage of power is Power crisis and it is the talk of the world today. There have been lots many inventions and discoveries for different ways of generation of electricity using the resources. The major part of electricity is generated from Thermal plant, but the fact is a Thermal plant uses Coal as fuel which is a non-renewable resource for energy. Also a Thermal plant pollutes the environment by releasing smokes and fumes. But our personal view on the matter is that nature offers numerous options for regenerating energy. One such viable option underused by mankind is the power of lightning. This project proposes to harness the energy of a lightning in treating the power crisis and finally making power unavailability a thing of the past.
