To my knowledge Benjamin Franklin did not store lightning energy in a bottle. There were capacitors called Leyden flasks at the time which could store electrical energy.

Can you catch lightning in a bottle?

While it is a saying that refers to capturing something fleeting or rare, it is not possible to physically catch lightning in a bottle. Lightning is an extremely powerful discharge of electricity that is dangerous to interact with directly.


Can electricity pass through a glass bottle with a plastic cap?

Yes, electricity can pass through a glass bottle with a plastic cap if the bottle is filled with a conductive liquid (like water) that allows the flow of electric current. The glass and plastic materials act as insulators, but the conductive liquid inside the bottle enables the electricity to pass through.


Will bottle gourd conduct electricity?

Bottle gourd, like most fruits and vegetables, contains water which can conduct electricity to some extent. However, the conductivity of bottle gourd is relatively low compared to metals or other materials specifically designed for conducting electricity. In general, the high water content in bottle gourd allows for some level of electrical conductivity, but it is not an efficient or reliable conductor for most practical purposes.


What is the difference of dropping bottle and reagent bottle?

The reagent bottle is not used for dropping, having only a common stopper.


Is it easier to squeeze a bottle full of water or an empty bottle?

It is easier to squeeze an empty bottle because there is less resistance from the air inside the bottle compared to the water. The water in a full bottle creates more pressure and resistance when you try to squeeze it.

Is a glass bottle a conductor or a insulator?

A glass bottle is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity easily. Glass is a non-metallic material that has high electrical resistance, making it a poor conductor of electricity.

Can you catch lightning bugs in a bottle?

Yes you can. If you tip the bottle upside down so the opening is at the bottom it's easier to catch the bugs since their instinct is to go upwards not downwards to get out.

How does a bottle dynamo work to generate electricity for bicycle lights?

A bottle dynamo generates electricity for bicycle lights by using a wheel to turn a small generator inside the dynamo. As the wheel spins, it creates a magnetic field that induces an electric current in the generator, which then powers the lights on the bicycle.


Is a plastic bottle a electrical conductor or a electrical insulator?

A plastic bottle is an electrical insulator because it does not conduct electricity. It is made of non-metallic materials that do not allow the flow of electrical current through them.
