The lightning Rod was not dicovered, it was invented. The way to use the lightning rod was discovered however. Ive done a lot of looking up on this subject but never found the name of the person responsible for inventing the lightning Rod.
No. Franklin just proved that lightening was natural in nature with his kite experiment, but he did invent the lightening rod. Houses caught fire in the 1700's by lightening stikes, so he invented the lightening rod to be put on the roof of a house so it would get hit instead of the house. Edison will invent the light bulb in the late 1800's.
