The kite experiment (whether or not actually conducted as designed) demonstrates that lightning is a form of electricity. The kite will conduct a static charge from the clouds to the ground, the same electromagnetic properties displayed by rubbing fur on amber, or rotating a magnet within a coil. Michael Faraday, born a year after Franklin's death, pioneered the science of electrical generation.
