When local resident, Noreen Bell ( Jenny Tomasin ) opened a cupboard door inside the house, it triggered an automatic light switch that an electric spark discharged causing a gas ignition . that caused a large gas explosion that catapulted her down the stairs.

In July 1750, Franklin hypothesized that electricity could be taken from clouds via a tall metal insulated aerials, an experimenter could bring a grounded lead with an insulated wax handle close to the aerial, and observe a spark discharge from the aerial to the grounding wire.

In support of abiogenesis in eutectic ice, more recent work demonstrated the formation of s-triazines ( alternative nucleobases ), pyrimidines ( including cytosine and uracil ), and adenine from urea solutions subjected to freeze-thaw cycles under a reductive atmosphere ( with spark discharges as an energy source ).
