Talk:Voltaic pile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As far as I know, Volta used copper instead of silver.
"Volta's paper is downright entertaining. He stuck wires in his ears and heard ringing, and put them on his eyeballs and saw light, but it hurt when he put them up his nose! If you really want to have fun, said he, you should turn the pile into an electric eel by wrapping it in leather and giving it a head and a tail, and then you should ask someone to pick it up. Alessandro would have loved whoopee cushions and dribble glasses." [1]
[edit] ?

It probably produces hardly any electricity... that would be one reason why we dont use them any more.
