[meteorite-list] Meteoroid/Asteroid Electro-Magnetic Disruption and Charge Properties?

[James Beauchamp]

Hi Dirk, 

A very small amount of equivalent energy is involved with free electron release.  Perhaps the moving electrons cause localized magnetic fields, but far lower than those needed to have large-scale charge separation. 

I can see the electron clouds on the radar because free electrons are conductive.  But energy exchange is kept pretty locally.

Now, posing in intriguing situation - lets say a russian-like event occurs over a supercell thunderstorm.  It could skim across the anvil.  The line of conducting plasma would short circuit the heavily charge separated areas (Charges migrate due to the supercooled freezing process).  I think you would get a nice lightshow.  

Kind of interesting...  CC meteortites, low pressure.  Volatile amino acids, carbon, and lightning,  Would be a nice situation for early life forms.

Garry and Steve,  Most excellent posts and information;  thank you.

  Further to my original question.  Would/should we expect that there may be ground-to-air electro-stactic response (lightning) prior to the arrival of the physical body to physical contact with the earth; and has this been simulated or captured on video?
