Then, with a very large voltaic battery, a tremendous quantity of electricity could be poured into the atmosphere, and its electrical condition could be certainly disturbed.

The voltaic battery had been discovered, and had opened up a region of possibilities in chemistry.

Electric Batteries From the time of Volta to the time of Faraday the only means of producing an electric current was the "voltaic battery," so called in honor of Volta.

A great variety of useful voltaic batteries have since been devised by others, too numerous to be mentioned here.

The placing of two or three pieces of metal one above another with a moist substance between them will create a voltaic battery.
