⛈️ Thunderstorm Cell: Charge Separation, Tripole Field, Breakdown, Leader and Flash-to-Bang Lab

A thunderstorm cell as an electrical machine: charge builds in a tripole until the field reaches the breakdown threshold, a branching leader finds its way to the ground or the upper charge, and thunder arrives seconds later. Change temperature, charging current and charge size.
