Lightning protection
Historical
All peoples and all religions, to explain the phenomenon, have associated lightning with the anger of the gods and the notion of punishment for faults and sins.
It was only in the 18th century thata scientific approach to lightning began with the work of Franklin, Nollet, Dalibart and other scholars.
“In September 1752, as a storm approached, Benjamin Franklin went to a prairie near Philadelphia. He was alone accompanied by his son, fearing the ridicule of failure. Convinced of the nature of lightning, and wishing to demonstrate it, he borrowed his kite from his son, and suspended a key from the lower end of the hemp cord which held the kite. However, when the storm cloud approached, Benjamin Franklin touched the key with his finger. The hemp being wet, which made it slightly conductor, a very visible spark was produced. Other sparks followed, more and more abundant. Today we can appreciate the unconsciousness of Franklin who, fortunately for him, did not have the idea of using a guiding thread! »
The electrical nature of the storm was demonstrated.
The lightning rod invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1752, thus made it possible to overcome, to a certain extent, the damage caused to buildings and buildings, and their content.
