Franklin's Kite: The REAL Lightning Story #shorts #short #shortvideo #shortsvideo
The video explores Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, clarifying the facts behind the legendary tale of his lightning experiment.

Talk about metal. The story goes that Franklin flew his kite during a storm, lightning struck, and boom, electricity. It's a dramatic tale, but is it true? The answer is sort of. Franklin did conduct experiments with lightning, but not quite like that. He wanted to prove that lightning was a form of electricity, so he flew a kite with a wire attached to a key during a thunderstorm, hoping to draw down an electrical charge, the key part. He knew better than to touch the wire directly. He was smart enough to understand the dangers of electricity. His experiment was actually much more controlled and insightful than the legend suggests.
