Very interesting yet I have some alternative more rational theories I think than the official silly stories. Mudflooded olde worlde Tartaria theories make much more sense than this supposed his-story mockery of the population! Pre-existing free energy aetheric, etc. technology (el-ect-tri-city) they made crude crappier and crappier versions they can charge us money/fiat currency for, still today, quite a rapid decline in quality and function of products or patented so called inventions or discoveries suddenly as if all at once (so we are told/taught) all in about 100 to 150 (1800s mostly manipulated scripted reset time I think too) years and an ever growing also artificial/synthetic/controlled increase in inflation/costs of the now junk thats made too.

When I was about 12, I ran an AC current through water and got oxygen and hydrogen gas. I confirmed it by placing a lit match over the container (a bottle with narrow neck) and hearing a satisfying thump as the hydrogen and oxygen gasses ignited and reformed into H2O. I never got around to using a D. C. source to collect the gasses separately. That was probably fortunate because the proper mixture of more hydrogen and oxygen when ignited might have done some real damage to me and my little laboratory in one corner of my room. I thank my Mother for allowing me to experiment.

What is overlooked or forgotten in modern historiography is the fact that the voltaic pile provided the basis for later inventions.
Without a constant electric current (from Volta's Pile) one could not have created an electromagnetic field, which in turn is needed to invent a motor or an electric generator, and and and
If we hadn't had such geniuses as Volta and Faraday, what would the world be like today?

I had read, many years ago, that Volta would demonstrate his pile battery to students by fleecing them of their spare change, building a pile, having most of them hold hands in a circuit, and then getting a volunteer to wizz on the pile, causing shock among the students. Pun intended. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted their change back. Not sure if it is true. But, an extremely entertaining anecdote none the less.

Your videos are so well explained and entertaining, it is fun and easy to learn. I love the home experiments that you do! Do you have a pdf with all of your ideas? From the saran wrap around a fluorescent tube, to spark igniting alcohol to a penny-zinc washer LED light? It would be so great to teach my friends, and it inspires me to figure out how to make educational artwork

Kathy here's a funny battery story. Years ago my wife would make delicious meatloaf in a metal pan. To preserve the left overs she just put a piece of aluminum foil over the pan. Sure enough the next morning the aluminum foil would have hole in it. Never new she was an inventor. Best Ken in Camarilli

I absolutely love how you reproduce these experiments in your videos. So cool! I really wanna learn more about Davy now, I saw him in a documentary about the discovery of elements using this battery, and I'm fascinated.

Has Volta written the process of the discovery himself? Or that part (mostly 5: 10 - 5: 55) of the video includes speculations? I tried to research this but couldn't find such information easily.

Totally awesome that you have communicated all of this with such clarity and humour. This is a series that need to be heard more and would be ideal as a teaching aid for so many. Thank you,

I learned much more then my physics textbooks. Thanks mam. The videos are awesome and very much educational. You do not miss any point and explain everything in very easy way possible.

Hehe! My dad is a physicist at CERN and from what gossip i have heard i can confirm physicists are as petty now as they were back in Volta's day!

It would have been good to mention that Luigi got stuff named for him as well. Galvanization, and such.
Eager to dive into the next episode.

This is the answer I was looking for, about how a method to produce a steady current of electricity was invented. Brilliant explanation!

The only thing I want to know is: How is it that nobody seems to understand the difference between the words jealous and envious anymore?

This lady deserves an educational price for her explanation being so easy and understandable for everybody.

I'm sure these videos about electricity are actually magnetic--I can't drag myself away from watching them!
