Franklin?

Anyone who knows something about Benjamin Franklin and the U.S. Founding Fathers want to expound on this? My knowledge of the history is a bit shaky, but didn't Franklin basically debunk a free energy machine being put forward for patent in the early days of the Union? I'll dig out a few more contemporary claims of perpetual motion/free energy machines. Damn, this gets pretty close to crank territory. Roll on cold fusion, right? –Tom Morris 14:43, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
