Sobre este artículo
In the paper offered here, Benjamin Franklin writes to Collinson on Oct 1, 1752, explaining that while many are having success all over Europe duplicating the Philadelphia experiment capturing lightening through pointed iron on buildings, there is a far more elegant way to proceed. He then describes his famous electric kite experiment explaining how the average person can conduct the experiment (along with a few cautions about where to stand, etc). Most importantly, after collecting lightning from the kite he states: "thereby the sameness of the electric matter [ static electricity gathered in leiden jars ] with that of lightning [ is ] completely demonstrated."
His letter to Collinson was read to the Royal Society in London December 21, 1752 and published in their transactions [ as offered here ] in 1753.
A key piece in the history of electrical science and the history of ideas.
