Abstract
Lightning can be beautiful in view yet dangerous when it struck things and human beings. Many techniques had been produced in order to detect the location of lightning strikes. Some techniques require high cost of installation yet the system is not accurately locating the possible point. In this paper, the technique proposed is by using Magnetic Direction Finder (MDF) by the help of time-to-thunder method. The hardware part consists of microphone to detect sound of thunder and closed-loop antenna to detect electromagnetic wave signal which can be considered as flash. These two inputs will be then being simulated by using MATLAB software in order to get the longitude of the possible location of lightning strike which can be seen on the google earth. The system is much cheaper yet accurate compared to the other existing lightning detection system produced.
