||1761: Georg Matthias Bose dies ... famous electrical experimenter in the early days of the development of electrostatics. He is credited with being the first to develop a way of temporarily storing static charges by using an insulated conductor (called a prime conductor). His demonstrations and experiments raised the interests of the German scientific community and the public in the development of electrical research."Electric Kiss", see also https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Electrice_sideshow_act_1914_-_The_electric_kiss.jpg Pic.
