allrite but do you not see the difference? I mean look back at all the names that we have come across .....i dont remember anybody being so desperate to discover something that he stood around in a storm flying a kite attached to a metal plate so that he can be touched by the lightning.....I didnt come across somebody as crazy as that ....even though they were all brilliant minds
Yes Ben Franklin did make a very good contribution to discovering electricity.
Although you are partially wrong on your last post. Franklin did fly a kite in a lightning strom, but the lightning did not touch the kite, he wasn't that crazy or he would have died. :lol:
It was an electrical storm and all the static electricity collected on his kite. A common misconception. At least thats what I read.
Someone also make an invetion that warns that lightning is coming by ataching some wire on a high place and conecting it to a bell and next to it an nother bell that is grounded and betwean them an litle ball on a string.
Wen lightning was coming the air ionized and so the wire got the ions to the 1st bell so it staticly charged up.Becose of that the ball was atracted to it but wen it hit it (ringing the bell) the ball got charged too so it got atracted to the grounded bell wen hitinh that one it dicharged and got atraced by the charged one agen.and this repeted.So the bels started ginging wen the air got ionised.
In modern days we wod conect an neon tube to this wire insted of an bell.
