Benjamin Franklin had pretty good reliability with glass “Leden-Jar” capacitors that he connected in parallel that looked to him like a battery of cannons … hence the name “battery”… Glass is a pretty durable and reliable insulator … A lightning arc is usually made up of at least three cycles or pulses of declining amplitude starting at about 200 amperes each with the duration of each pulse-wave cycle of about 200 milli-seconds … The negtively-charged electrons in the lightning arc surge from the ground, atracted up through the clowds of water vapors that have positive charged water molocules that have been stripped of negtive-charged electrons by high velocity winds-aloft … The electron pulses of the lightning strike over-shoot through, past the positive-charged clowd and are observed as “sprites” extending toward the ionosphere … the positive-charged, hydrogen-ion-protons (of ionized water-vapor) accelerate toward the concentrated negative-charged electrons (that compose the lightning-arc) and … these accelerated, positive-charged, hydrogen-ion-protons have the kenetic-energy to impact each-other and fuse together to form helium ions as evidenced by the resulting pulses of X-rays and gamma-rays recorded by the gamma-ray detectors of the Fermi-Telescope satilite… all very similar to the LPP fusion reactor …
