![]() by, Gianna There are many inventions that Benjamin Franklin created. They help us in many ways and we enjoy a lot of them all thanks to Benjamin Franklin. First, Benjamin Franklin created the lightning rod. He made the lightning rod in the year of 1749. Franklin made his lightning rod out of a conductor cable, lightning rods, clips to secure the cable in place, ground rods, ground rod clamps, nails for the cable clip holder. The lightning rod was mainly metal. When Benjamin Franklin published and finished it was the year of 1753. The lightning rod is important to us because the lightning rod gives up the technology we need. Now, Benjamin Franklin was strange. He flew a kite in a thunderstorm. It was the year of 1752. Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm because he wanted to collect lightning in a glass jar. Benjamin Franklin along with William Franklin were the first scientists to fly a kite in a thunderstorm but they got struck by lightning. This was our first early detection warning of what a lightning storm can do. Next, Benjamin Franklin made a glass harmonica. It was made in the year of 1761. He made a glass harmonica because he wanted to be in a band of glass instrument so he made a new instrument. He made the glass harmonica from a glass harmonium, a bowl organ, and hydrocrystalophone. If Benjamin Franklin didn't do this then we would have one less fun instrument to play on. Those are just three of the wonderful Benjamin Franklin’s inventions.
