Presentation transcript:

Lightening was much feared in the 18 th century with good reason. It struck church steeples, barns and ships’ masts indiscriminately killing people outright and starting fires

Many ministers rang church bells as storms approached, hoping that the holy sound would stop the evil bolts from striking the steeples

This practice brought a wry comment from Franklin: “the lightening seems to strike steeples…at the very time the bells a ringing….

…yet still they continue to belss the new bells and jangle the old ones whenever it thunders

…One would think it was time to try a new trick”

Something that works

The lightening rod applied the latest scientific discoveries and theory to society’s practical needs and their usefulness in saving lives and property became immediately apparent. Lightening rods sprouted up atop buildings all over America and Europe standing tall as a testament to Franklin’s genius

at:

Although Franklin uncovered fundamental truths about Nature’s most powerful forces he was most proud of the practical applications that emerged from his experiments: the lightening rod

The lightening rod made Franklin World famous
