adapted from the National Park Service
Benjamin Frankdin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he
retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in tricks that he used to
amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real
thing He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of
lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world
His famous de experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to
fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string
Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then
able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in
other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after
it took place at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the
experiment himself-an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story. .
