Abstract
Globalisation, Industrialization, increase in population and increase in the machine dependence has led to a tremendous increase in the power demand but the comparative generation of power is not up to the mark. Hydro power plants need lot of water flow, nuclear and thermal power plants need non renewable energy forms in tremendous amount as well as there are many safety precautions to be taken. Earth resources needed for power generation are depleting but the demand of power is increasing! Its the cry of the hour to find out either an alternative power source or an alternative resource for power generation. Trapping and harnessing of natural electricity i.e. lightning with the help of rocketry and basic electrical concepts of conductors and capacitors this alternative of power generation resources as well as an alternative of power can be generated. This power generation includes study of chemical properties of substances, stress and strain i.e. the bearing capacity of metals, combustion properties of the fuels (chemicals) and electrical properties of conductors and capacitors. It includes calculation work for a proper functioning as well as designing of the research project.
