RE: [DMCForum] Question for BTTF experts

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, could it be pulled off with a bolt of lightning.

AMPS x VOLTS = WATTS

My research shows that a bolt can carry up to 30,000 AMPS. To produce
121,000,000,000 WATTS, a strike would need to produce 4,0333,333 VOLTS. 

This is very possible since a bolt can carry several hundred million
volts.

So, Doc was right!
