An article in the Sydney Standards recounts Benjamin Franklin inventing the lightning rod in 1762 to arrest thunder electricity. Rabbi Saul Katienellenbogen cites a third century Tosefta passage permitting iron near a hennery to protect fowl from thunder and strikes, asserting no superstition in the belief. It also notes Judah b. Jacob Chayat’s early magnet references describing signal transmission via linked magnets across distance.
