In 1835 Harris received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society for his papers on the laws of electricity of high tension. "The two great authorities on electrical distribution and its consequences are Coulomb and Sir William Harris. . . on repeating the experiments Harris found Coulomb's results only approximately correct and modified these laws accordingly. . ." – John T. Sprague Electricity: Its Theory Sources and Applications 2nd ed. London 1884 p. 63. "Sir William Snow Harris 1 April 1791 – 22 January 1867 was an English physician and electrical researcher1 nicknamed Thunder-and-Lightning Harris2 and noted for his invention of a successful system of lightning conductors for ships. It took many years of campaigning research and successful testing before the British Royal Navy changed to Harris's conductors from their previous less effective system. One of the successful test vessels was HMS Beagle which survived lightning strikes unharmed on her famous voyage with Charles Darwin. . . He read papers on the elementary laws of electricity to the Society in 1834 1836 and 1839 and also sent accounts of his experiments and discoveries to the Royal Society of Edinburgh." – Wikip.
