The Kite Story

Franklin's Kite Experiment
The date is unknown.
Franklin, on June 1752, built a kite with a sharp pointed wire attached to the kite to attract easier electrical charges He attached a key to the end of the kite string, near his holding hand, but held the kite with a silk ribbon then on a thunderstorm he let the kite fly. The  kite was struck by lightning and the cloud sparks flew through the wet kite.
