A strong electric spark flashed at his hand. Franklin knew that the current in the sky was transmitted to his hand through the hemp rope and the copper key. He shouted excitedly: "Electricity, captured, captured by the electricity in the sky!" He put the copper key into the rechargeable Leyden bottle, and a blue electric spark suddenly appeared in the Leyden bottle.

Franklin succeeded. He risked his life (this is a very dangerous experiment, and the Russian scientist Lichtman died for it. Students must not imitate it. ) proved that lightning is a natural phenomenon, debunked the ancient myth about lightning, made contributions to the development of electricity, and invented the lightning rod from this, which prevented thousands of high-rise buildings from being struck by lightning.

The story of Franklin

In 1746, an English scholar performed an electrical experiment with a glass tube and a Leyden bottle in Boston. Franklin watched his performance with great interest and was strongly attracted by the newly emerging science of electricity. Then Franklin began to study electricity. Franklin did a lot of experiments at home, studied the properties of two kinds of charges, and explained the source of electricity and the phenomena existing in matter. Before the eighteenth century, people could not correctly understand what lightning was. At that time, it was widely believed that thunder and lightning was God's anger. Some people of insight who don't believe in God have tried to explain the cause of thunder and lightning, but they have failed. The view that thunder and lightning is a "gas explosion" is more popular in academic circles.

In an experiment, Franklin's wife, Lide, accidentally touched a Leyden bottle, and an electric fire flashed. Lide was hit and fell to the ground, and her face was pale. She lay at home for a whole week before she recovered. Although this was an accident in the experiment, Franklin, who was quick-thinking, thought of lightning in the air. After repeated thinking, he concluded that lightning is also a discharge phenomenon, which is essentially the same as electricity generated in the laboratory. So, he wrote a paper entitled "On lightning in the sky is the same as our electricity" and sent it to the Royal Society. But Franklin's great idea was laughed at by many people, and some even ridiculed him as "a madman who wants to separate God from thunder and lightning".

Franklin is determined to prove everything with facts. One day in June, 1752, it was overcast, thundering and lightning, and a storm was coming. Franklin and his son William
