Method and apparatus for determining return stroke polarity of distant lightning [PDF]

open access: yes
A method is described for determining the return stroke polarity of distant lightning for distances beyond 600 km by detecting the electric field associated with a return stroke of distant lightning, and processing the electric field signal to determine ...

Evaluation of lightning protection systems proposed for small structures by electromagnetic simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper validates the performance of low-cost lightning protection systems for small structures proposed by researchers in the past. Such structures have an acute demand in the countries with very high lightning ground flash density, yet the ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

On the Choice of the Lightning Channel Current Decay Constant in the Modified Transmission Line Model with Exponential Decay

open access: yesJournal of Communications Software and Systems, 2009
For different values of the decay constant in the Modified Transmission Line Model with Exponential Decay (MTLE) and for dierent channel heights the results for lightningelectromagnetic field (LEMF) at dierent distances fromthe channel-base are presented

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Horizontal fields generated by return strokes [PDF]

open access: yesRadio Science, 1992
Horizontal fields generated by return strokes play an important role in the interaction of lightning‐generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power lines. In many of the recent investigations on the interaction of lightning electromagnetic fields with power lines, the horizontal field was calculated by employing the expression for the tilt of the

Tortuosity of lightning return stroke channels [PDF]

open access: yes
Data obtained from photographs of lightning are presented on the tortuosity of return stroke channels. The data were obtained by making piecewise linear fits to the channels, and recording the cartesian coordinates of the ends of each linear segment. The

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.
