His receiver proved to be able to sense lightning strikes at distances of up to 30 km, thus functioning as a lightning detector.

A lightning detector is a device that detects lightning produced by thunderstorms.

Space-based lightning detectors, on artificial satellites, can locate range, bearing and intensities by direct observation.

One type of lightning detector slowly increasing in popularity is the battery-operated personal lightning detector.

This interference often has the additional effect of preventing personal lightning detectors from functioning properly while indoors.

Despite these limitations, personal lightning detectors continue to increase in popularity among individuals and professionals.

Professional-quality portable lightning detectors improve performance in these areas by several techniques which facilitate each other, thus magnifying their effects:

This can also be heard on sophisticated lightning detectors as individual staccato sounds for each stroke, forming a distinctive pattern.

The Federal Government has installed a network of 33 lightning detectors across the West.

According to Ducretet, he built his devices using Popov's lightning detector as a model.
