Super conducting super capacitor

A method of capturing electrical energy from lightning, comprising the steps of:

• placing near a lightning source at least one ungrounded probe of a super capacitor having alternating layer of conductors and dielectric material each having radii in excess of ten feet to form a multilayer parallel capacitive structure, said multilayer parallel capacitive structure being formed of embedded parallel capacitors within a water proof housing, said at least one ungrounded probe having a human generated power source;
• and
• receiving electrical energy from a lightning strike using said at least one ungrounded probe directly connected to one or more electrodes situated on one or more dielectric layers of said super capacitor, said at least one ungrounded probe exuding from said water proof housing.

A method of generating electricity, comprising the steps of:

• generating lightning by ionizing the atmosphere near at least one ungrounded probe of a super capacitor, said super capacitor having alternating layers of conductors and dielectric material each having any shape with radii at a shortest side in excess of ten feet to form a multilayer parallel capacitive structure, said multilayer parallel capacitive structure being formed of embedded parallel capacitors within a water proof housing, said at least one ungrounded probe having a human generated power source;
• and
• receiving electrical energy from a lightning strike through said at least one ungrounded probe directly connected to one or more electrodes situated on one or more dielectric layers of said super capacitor, said at least one ungrounded probe exuding from said water proof housing.
