Alessandro Volta Inventor of the Battery

Alessandro Volta invented the electrical battery. Volta's invention is a very significant part of the history that lead to the technology we use today.

The Voltaic Pile

After much experimentation Volta came up with the Voltaic pile, a battery which used alternate discs of zinc and copper separated by leather soaked in an electrolyte (such as salty water.)

How Did Volta Test His Battery?

Volta tested his battery by giving himself small electric shocks! Alessandro Volta believed in hands-on experimentation.

Volta invented the battery when trying to understand the work of Luigi Galvani who managed to make frog legs twitch when he touched it with a metal instrument.

Galvani thought that the electricity came from the frog. Volta thought otherwise and set out to prove it.
