A device to harvest energy from lightning. The electrical energy of the lightning is used to heat a fluid, which is then used to drive a turbine (19) to produce electricity. The electricity provided by the turbine is in a form suitable to either by used or stored. The lightning strikes an antenna (10) and is conducted through an insulated chamber (14), (15) where it heats the fluid.
