Greg Foot investigates whether a human being can survive when struck by lightning. He uses a Tesla coil to produce very high voltages of static electricity that simulate lightning strikes.

Lightning obeys the laws of physics just like anything else, though, and with a little bit of technology some of its mysteries can be unraveled. For one, it only takes a small radio receiver to ...
