The Franklin stove is a metal-lined fireplace named after Benjamin Franklin, who invented it in 1741. It had a hollow baffle near the rear (to transfer more heat from the fire to a room's air) and relied on an inverted siphon to draw the fire's hot fumes around the baffle.
But Franklin didnât feel that he could get his conductor high enough into the clouds to do any good, so he never completed the experiment. Instead, in 1752, he devised a new plan: sending a kite into the air. Little did Franklin know that his original letter to Collinson, once translated to French, was causing quite a stir in Paris. To test Franklinâs hypothesis, naturalist Thomas-Francois Dalibard used a large metal pole to conduct electricity from lightning on May 10, 1752.
