glass made from lightening in sweet home Alabama?
Okay I was watching Sweet Home Alabama yesterday and I really like the glass he makes from lightening. Is that true that it will make glass like that. I know that it is true you get glass from lightening hitting sand and it’s called Fulgurite but does it make glasses like he does in the movie and if so where do you get it. I want some and if they really make it I need to get it. Please help me out. Thanks
Lightning does get to extremely high temperatures of 30,000 F and that is much higher than the temp required for sand to be fused into glass. It is doubtful that you could make an actual glass from lightning, but glass tubes as stated below then certainly.
Fulgurites (from the Latin fulgur meaning thunderbolt) are natural hollow glass tubes formed in quartzose sand, or silica, or soil by lightning strikes. They are formed when lightning with a temperature of at least 1,800 °C (3,270 °F) instantaneously melts silica on a conductive surface and fuses grains together; the fulgurite tube is the cooled product. This process occurs over a period of around one second, and leaves evidence of the lightning path and its dispersion over the surface.
