lightning is a billion volts so it should do something if it's conducted through the right field geometry coils
gotta wonder if frankenstein was a form of very early disclosure
first published in 1818
"Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815 along the river Rhine in Germany stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before, an alchemist engaged in experiments.[3][4][5] She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. The topics of galvanism and occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816, Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made, inspiring the novel.[6] "
electrostatic generators, leyden jar capacitors, batteries and galvanic responses in tissue were well known in the 1700's.
benjamin franklin proved lightning was electricity with his kite experiments
perhaps some independent scientists experimented further
michael faraday's work was in the early 1800's.
all the scientists back then were the wealthy elites of europe.
