The safety hazards of lightning to seismic crews using explosives are well known. Lightning is a result of high potential gradients in the atmosphere. These high gradients, which accompany stormy weather, can be detected by measuring the corona‐discharge current from a sharp metal point called a point collector. Oscillograms of point‐collector currents taken during thunderstorms may be a definite aid to field personnel in determining when lightning is imminent. Many more data are needed. It is hoped that others in the industry will take similar measurements and pool the data thus obtained.

AbstractImmobilized polymerized electroactive vesicles (IPEVs) are submicron biocapsules capable of storing charge in confined environments and chemisorbing on surfaces. Methods to immobilize stable submicron sized electroactive vesicles and the means to measure electroactivity of IPEVs at nanolevels have been demonstrated. IPEVs can withstand steep potential gradients applied across their membrane, maintain their structural integrity against surfaces poised at high/low electrical potentials, retain electroactive material over several days, and reversibly mediate (within the membrane) electron flow between the electrode surface and vesicle interior. IPEVs have strong potential to be used for charge storage and electron coupling applications that operate on the submicron scale and smaller.
