With thunder and lightning in abundance this afternoon in Mossel Bay and surrounding areas, I decided to knock together a prototype lightning detector. Here is a photo of the detector in action. Every lighting strike is indicated by the little light bulb and sound from the speaker. It looks to be working flawlessly and I will hopefully build this detector into a cabinet for future use. I apologise for the quality of the image.
