the lightning and a lightning rod itself. Franklin's theory involved the lightning bolt neutralizing the total or even a piece of the charged storm cloud. The bolt would then send energy to the high lightning rod. In his experiment, the kit was in replacement of the rod. Electricity would then go through the insulated rope and safely to where he was on the ground. The technology behind the experiment itself involved many different motors, conductors, a kite, a lightning rod, and a lightning…

Jolting from the clouds were sparks of flashes, lightning bolts touching the tip of the highest wave and disappearing back into the sky. My toes were tingling with fear, I wanted to disappear under the pillows and blankets. However, I began to feel more excited. There was a force within the storm…

Sounds abnormal, yet for the greater part of human presence, this is the means by which we lived.

Endeavor to picture a world where there is no such thing as a stove to cook an evening feast for your growing family; no television to watch…
