In 1752, Benjamin Franklin is best known for his experiments with electricity, particularly his famous kite experiment. He used a kite to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning, leading to the invention of the lightning rod. This invention provided a means to protect buildings from lightning strikes by directing the electrical discharge safely into the ground. Franklin's work significantly advanced the understanding of electricity and its practical applications.
