... On http://www.tesladownunder.com/ ... well, the whole site is just filled with these people doing craaaaaazy shiz, and when I say crazy, I mean, CRAZY. A lot of high voltage stuff, and a lot of tesla coils. Anyway, they've got some new stuff on there; tesla coils, on top of a car, with this wire that spins so it surrounds the car in this kinda electric... thing...

And it's completely real, not photoshopped. They even show you how they did it and everything...

It's a Faraday cage - provided you don't touch anything metal in a car, that's the safest place to be during a lightning strike.

Which is why they stuck Richard Hammond in one for a Top Gear experiment one time smile

Wow, learned something new. Still wouldn't want to be in that car though. I wonder what happens if you accidentally do touch something metal.
