converging electrical light to fire

1.06K views

Maybe title explains my question wrong so I’m hoping this will clarify.
With the understanding electricity is basically concentrated energy that can be converted to create power and that power can be converted to create light. electricity itself can create a form of light without being used for anything specific. Is it possible to use the light from wild electricity to create a fire using a magnifying glass like you would use the sun on a bright clear day? Obviously it would be dangerous to be close enough but is it possible?

What do you mean by “wild electricity”? It’s not something that you just pick off the bushes in the forest. The closest thing to “wild electricity” is lightning and that by itself is enough to start a fire.
