The MythBusters take on the tale that has been told in American classrooms for generations: Ben Franklin discovered electricity by flying a kite with a key attached to it during a thunderstorm. Adam and Jamie recreate the experiment to find out if it's possible to draw sparks from the key- and live to tell about it.
