On This Day June 10
Benjamin Franklin conceived the idea of drawing down lightening from the clouds by means of a rod. There was nowhere high enough in Philadelphia to try this, so he used a kite with a metal key tied to the end of the string, which on June 10, 1752 he flew during a thunderstorm and created sparks. As a result of these researches into electrical current issues Franklin identified lightening as an electrical conductor and in 1753 he published details how to make his lightening rod.
