The Franklin stove is a metal-lined fireplace named after Benjamin Franklin, who invented it in 1741. It had a hollow baffle near the rear (to transfer more heat from the fire to a room's air) and relied on an inverted siphon to draw the fire's hot fumes around the baffle.
After his kite experiment, Benjamin Franklin became well aware of the dangers of electricity (And the shock he received probably helped as well!). He started pondering over ways to protect buildings, ships and people from lightning. This effort on his part culminated in the invention of the lightning rod. Lightning rod is arguably his most famous invention. The lightning rod was designed to be mounted to the outside wall of the house. One end of the rod would point high up into the sky; the other end would be attached to a cable.
