It was summer of 1747 when he accidentally schocked himself while conducting some experiments with electricity. he was holding a rod. He then concluded that lightning and electricity are the same, he used the terms negative (-) and positive (+) to describe electricity .
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.
