The tires have nothing to do with it, between the dirt and moisture on the outside of the tires and the metal belting inside the tires, the rubber won't insulate you.  However, since the frame of the car is metal and forms an unbroken 'cage' of sorts around you, most likely the electricity will flow through the metal around you and into the ground.  This assumes that the doors are shut and you don't touch the metal parts of the frame that you can reach from inside the car.  Then again, lightning is unpredictable and often behaves strangely, so almost anything is possible.

Thats because it it Internet Explorer, use Firefox and it wont happen. If lightning struck your power source there would be a lot more trouble than web pages.

for this u need special grade pure silicon.pieces of almost 2 square cm need to be linked by means of silver in order to prevent loss of energy.this arrangement should be erected in a place which receives maximum sunlight.

First, take the bulb out of a flashlight.  Carefully remove about an inch of the plastic covering on both ends of two one foot lengths of wire.  Attach one bare end to the bottom of a D-sized battery (good tape might work).  Attach the other end of this wire to the SIDE of the metal part of the bulb.  \nAttach one end of the other wire to the top of the battery.  And attach the end of this wire to the bottom of the bulb.\nThat should do it!

Place a reddish orange candle in a Hurricane vase and place the vase in the center of an autumn leaf wreath.  Use a round mirror on the bottom which will reflect the candlelight. \n\nFor Hurricane vases check out this site:\nhttp://www.save-on-crafts.com/hurricane.html

Yes, put a lightening rod on your barn, home, or skyscraper.  When the lightening bolt strikes, there will be an electric current of MANY amps from the top of the lightening rod to the earth where it's grounded.  At some point in the circuit, put a metallic conductor parallel to the lightening rod.   By Faraday's Law, a voltage will be induced in your conductor.  Discharge this into a capacitor (possibly a very LARGE one) and you have stored the energy. \nThere are some serious problems with heat melting the conductors, safety, etc, but those are engineering problems.

Buy a large glass vase from Wal-mart (I picked one up this weekend for $1.97), a strand of 20 count lights ($.97 at Wal-Mart), and a bag of potpourrie ($1.00- I did a christmas scent, but this "craft" can be used year round, so maybe a scent/color combo that works well in thier homes?).\n\nPut the end few lights in the vase, add some potpourrie, add more lights, add more potpourrie, etc, etc, but leave the end of the cord out. I had some ribbon in my fabric bin that I used to tie a bow around the neck, and secure the cord down on the glass. When it's plugged in, as long as you have a vase with a large mouth and only slightly narrower neck (avoid the type that cinch in tight), enough air circulates that these light up air freshners are perfectly safe to use. The lights warm the potpourrie to give off scent, while looking pretty. They look nice in baskets, too.

put an electric charge on each end, it needs to be a very strong charge though

There are actually places where you can buy kits for model lighthouses.  Just do a search for "building a model lighthouse".\n\nYou could use pieces of styrofoam insulation - easy to work with, inexpensive, light weight.  In hobby shops you can probably buy thin pieces of balsa which would also be easy and light and easier to paint than the styrofoam, and would be my first choice I think. Check hobby shops for kits too.  YOu will probably opt not to use a kit, but they could give you ideas.\n\nThere is the question of whether you want the light to be real or pretend, moving or not moving.  I'd use a Christmas tree light I think, but there are lots of LCD lights available now at Walmat - check in the campoing section usually - you might find something there that will work better.  \n\nFor display purposes you probably want the lighthouse to stand on something that looks like a rocky seashore - papier mache works well and then paint it - recipes available on line.  Papier mache keeps hte project relatively light and easy to move around.\n\nIf the lighthouse is to have windows at lower levels as many lighthouses do, aluminum foil works well.\n\nI hope these thoughts are of some help.  Good luck to you and your daughter.
