If there are steel nails in the body, is there a risk of being hacked during a thunderstorm?

Lightning strike is a very common phenomenon in thunderstorms. It is actually a discharge phenomenon that penetrates the air. Common ones include discharges between charged clouds and discharges between charged clouds and the earth. Here we focus on the electrical discharge between the clouds and the earth.

Clouds in snowy and rainy days carry a large amount of electric charge. The charged cloud layer and the ground will form a large capacitor, and the air in the middle is the medium. Students who know a little bit about capacitors know that capacitors will have a breakdown voltage. If this voltage is exceeded, the capacitor will break down the dielectric and discharge rapidly.

Clouds are similar to the earth. If the charge accumulates to a certain amount, it will break through the air and discharge rapidly. The distance between clouds and the ground is far away (ranging from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers), and the resistance of the air in the middle is too high, and a certain voltage must be accumulated before it breaks down. This makes the breakdown voltage very large and the breakdown current very large, which is quite dangerous if someone happens to be in the conductive path.

As mentioned before, if you want to penetrate the air, you must accumulate electric charges to a certain amount. Correspondingly, the easier it is to accumulate electric charges, the greater the probability of being struck by lightning during thunderstorms. So how can it be easier to accumulate charge? First of all, it must be connected to the earth so that the charge of the earth can be conducted and accumulated. Secondly, since charges like to run towards places with small curvature, the sharper and valleys are, the easier it is to accumulate charges. Tip discharge is an obvious example. The lightning rod perfectly blends these two conditions.

After talking so much, let’s answer this question. There are steel nails inside the body, usually driven into the bones. As long as it is not exposed to the skin, it will not significantly change the conductive properties of the human body, and it will not increase the "tip", which will not increase the probability of "lightning strikes" at all.

Okay, let’s start discussing Uncle Wolf →_→. According to the setting in the movie, the metal in Uncle Wolf's body is a type of Adamantium metal, which is a super-strong alloy mixed with ingredients from extraterrestrial meteorites.

This alloy has free electrons, and the tip can be said to be very sharp, and it is grounded with the help of Uncle Wolf's body. So we assume that Uncle Wolf is fighting on the plains, switches to fighting mode and points to the sky, which is more likely to be struck by lightning.

But under normal circumstances, Uncle Wolf is still relatively safe~
