The Kite experiment, also known as the "Kite and String" experiment, is often associated with an experiment conducted by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century to investigate the nature of electricity, particularly with static electricity and lightning. In this experiment, Franklin flew a kite during a thunderstorm with the goal of demonstrating that lightning is a form of electricity. He attached a metal key to the kite string, which would act as a conductor of electrical charges.
