The majority of cutaneous injuries seen in victims struck by lightning are superficial and heal
without sequelae. Common cutaneous findings associated with lightning strike include
punctate full-thickness burns, linear charring, and contact burns from overlying metal …

The extremely finely detailed drawing in Lichtenberg figures offers an unusually clear record
of the early stages of discharge phenomena. The interpretation of these records in terms of
electronic ionization, space charge, plasma formation, and neutralization of charges is …

In 1777, one hundred and fifty-one years ago, Dr. George Christoph Lichtenberg, Professor
of Physics in the University of Göttingen, observed that under certain conditions an electric
discharge produced curious and strangely beautiful figures. Lichtenberg's apparatus and …

The Lichtenberg Figures, winner of the Hayden Carruth Award, is an unconventional sonnet
sequence that interrogates the relationship between language and memory, violence and
form.“Lichtenberg figures” are fern-like electrical patterns that can appear on (and quickly …

LFs are transient, lasting a few hours to 48 hours. LFs appear as early as 20 minutes to 1
hour after the lightning strike and as late as 3.5 hours after the event. LF can arise in a
circular pattern in response to the placement of an ECG electrode (Figure 3). LFs gradually …

Morphological features of Lichtenberg figures created by electrostatic separation discharges
on the surfaces of electret samples have been studied by means of multifractal analysis. The
monofractal ramification of surface positive-channel streamers has been confirmed and …

The surface discharge on insulating solid materials was recorded by a camera with high
speed films. This simple method was found to be useful for the investigation of the surface
discharge on various insulating materials. Lichtenberg figures on the surface of seven types …

Figure 1. A 54-year-old man was struck by lightning and was initially stuporous. The
emergency medical team found him conscious and in sinus rhythm, with normal vital signs
and numbness and paresthesia of the left shoulder, flank, and leg. On his arrival at the …

Lichtenberg discovered dust figure phenomena of electrical discharges in 17777. His
discovery came to the notice of many scientists because it was considered that the figures
should show the motion of the electric fluid. Photographic Lichtenberg figures were obtained …

A brief outline of the characteristics of Lichtenberg figures is given. Some experiments on"
heat developed" and" powder" figures are reported. With regard to the former it is shown that
the effect is restricted to certain kinds of solid dielectrics and associated with the state of the …
