Benjamin Franklin "Para o nosso jantar, teremos um peru, morto por um choque elétrico e assado num espeto movido a eletricidade, sobre um fogo ateado por centelha elétrica. E beberemos à saúde de todos os eletricistas da Inglaterra, Holanda, França e Alemanha, em copos eletrizados, sob uma salva de tiros disparados pela bateria de carga elétrica." Nenhum dos amigos de Benjamin Franklin, ao receber o curioso convite para um "piquenique elétrico", duvidou de que as proezas ali prometidas se concretizariam. Nem eles, nem o restante da tradicionalmente incrédula população de Filadélfia: os habitantes da cidade já estavam habituados com as incríveis experiências desse homem que, em 1752, provara ser capaz de "domar o raio". Enquanto cientistas de todo o mundo discutiam, em acirradas polêmicas, se os raios seriam ou não um fenômeno elétrico, Franklin saíra em meio a uma tempestade e conseguira atrair um raio à chave presa ao papagaio que empinava. Muitos já suspeitavam de que o raio fosse, efetivamente, um fenômeno elétrico; mas Franklin. captando cargas presentes em nuvens baixas, o demonstrara experimentalmente. Era o seu sistema de trabalho: provar a teoria na prática. (Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos) Provar a teoria na prática: a mesma norma de conduta, fosse qual fosse a atividade em que estivesse empenhado; na ciência, ou na política. Pois esse eclético homem da América colonial acreditou na possibilidade de libertação das colônias americanas do jugo europeu, e se entregou a fundo a essa tarefa. Em 1754, está propondo um plano de união das colônias; em 1757, é deputado na Inglaterra, para defender junto à metrópole os interesses dos colonos; entre 1763 e 1765, em missão diplomática, consegue com que se revogue o ato que proibia às colônias o direito de se autogovernarem; em 1775, está ao lado de Washington, organizando a defesa do país; em 1776, com Jefferson e John Adams, está redigindo a histórica Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos.

At that time, science was the pursuit of gentlemen of leisure or of moonlighting professionals such as lawyers, clergymen and professors. Franklin and his son William fly a wired kite in a thunderstorm in 1752; Franklin touches a metal key to feel a spark. Leyden jars for collecting charge sit at his feet. NOAA image When Franklin sold out his printing business at age 42, he began experimenting with electricity and making observations of the weather. Soon enough, he combined both interests by showing that lightning was natural electricity, a pioneering step in atmospheric science. Five years after he left the printing trade, Franklin was awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society of London for his electrical research.
