Seems like one downvote doesn't satisfy you? | |

@Goodies I suggest that you take what's the good part in the answer. So far, it's your only chance to create a significant voltage at no trivial currents using biological means - and it is science-based. I'll also suggest you to gather information about how it works. Finally, the "air path ionization through a laser pulse" will work only for moderately high voltages and puny currents; if you want to pump current densities the size of lightning strike (30kA), prepare yourself for a dragon the size of the lightning source (i.e. kilometers-sized clouds)

| Oct 25, 2021 at 6:20 | comment | added | Goodies | @Kilisi I do understand your answer, it isn't applicable. You throw a wire, there's no real lightning. | |
| Oct 24, 2021 at 19:29 | comment | added | Kilisi | @Goodies like I said you obviously don't understand the answer, You've already downvoted, what are you trying to accomplish now? | |
| Oct 24, 2021 at 13:48 | comment | added | Goodies | There is no other medium than air. This question is about a laser-like action. Eels do not need to ionize air. You introduce another medium to solve the issue.. nice idea but we have "lightning strike" and "real" in the title. | |

| Oct 24, 2021 at 12:22 | comment | added | Goodies | I downvoted this answer, it is not going to work.. The medium is wrong and 860 Volts is no answer to the question, suppose the dragon has an organ 100x the eel size then it would emit 86kV, in air that voltage won't reach far. see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel | |

| Oct 24, 2021 at 3:17 | comment | added | Adrian Colomitchi | Yes, it produces a current. No, it doesn't produce a "lightning strike" like the question requires. | |
| Oct 24, 2021 at 0:46 | comment | added | Kilisi | @AdrianColomitchi just used eel an example that an animal can produce electricity. | |
| Oct 23, 2021 at 23:25 | comment | added | Adrian Colomitchi | Electric eels live in a conductive medium, so triggering the shock is not a problem - the medium will help conduct the current. However, the distance the shock is felt is rather small and there's no equivalent of a lightning strike - the current starts and ends on the body of the eel. | |
