Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (Italian pronunciation:[alesˈsandro ˈvɔlta]; 18 February 1745 – 5 March 1827) was an Italianphysicist, chemist, and a pioneer of electricity and power, who is credited as the inventor of the electrical battery and the discoverer of methane. He invented the Voltaic pile in 1799 and the results of which he reported in 1800 in a two-part letter to the President of the Royal Society. With this invention Volta proved that electricity could be generated chemically and debased the prevalent theory that electricity was generated solely by living beings. Volta's invention sparked a great amount of scientific excitement and led others to conduct similar experiments which eventually led to the development of the field of electrochemistry.
Alessandro Volta also drew admiration from Napoleon Bonaparte for his invention, and was invited to the Institute of France to demonstrate his invention to the members of the Institute. Volta enjoyed a certain amount of closeness with the Emperor throughout his life and he was conferred numerous honours by him. Alessandro Volta held the chair of experimental physics at the University of Pavia for nearly 40 years and was widely idolised by his students.
Who was Alessandro Volta? [The Man Behind The Volt and the First Battery]
The Volt, the unit for electric potential is named for Alessandro Volta. Count Volta's scientific work laid the foundation that allowed further exploration into the field of electricity.

Alessandro Volta: Electric battery | Heroes of Progress | Ep. 29
#HeroesOfProgress⚡️ | The week, our hero is the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, who invented the world’s first electric battery. His “Voltaic pile” provided the first source of continuous electric current the world had ever seen. Through his discovery, Volta debunked the prevalent theory at the time that electricity was generated solely by living beings. Volta’s invention laid the groundwork for modern batteries. His work also helped to create the field of electrochemistry and electromagnetism.

Alessandro Volta - The Battery
Alessandro Volta (1745-1827)
In 1800, Alessandro Volta of Italy built the voltaic pile and discovered the first practical method of generating electricity. Count Volta also made discoveries in electrostatics, meteorology and pneumatics. His most famous invention, however, is the first battery.

How Volta Invented the First Battery Because He Was Jealous of Galvani's Frog
How did Allesandro Volta invent the first battery? Learn a story of scientific rivalries, reanimating corpses, tingly metals and Napoleonic politics! I also show you how the frog moved, how to make your own battery out of pennies and vinegar that lights up an LED light bulb and how to make Hydrogen and Oxygen gas out of water! I will also tell you why we can't use pennies to charge our cell phones. This is a fascinating tale behind one of our most used devices in modern life: the battery. Check it out!
Experiments:
1. How to make a voltaic pile:
Take 10 shiny pennies, 10 zinc washers (or tin foil), and cut out 10 circles in paper or cardboard. Put the paper or cardboard in a cup full of vinegar. Layer the items zinc, paper, penny, zinc, paper, penny... You got a battery! Crazy e...

How did Allesandro Volta invent the first battery? Learn a story of scientific rivalries, reanimating corpses, tingly metals and Napoleonic politics! I also show you how the frog moved, how to make your own battery out of pennies and vinegar that lights up an LED light bulb and how to make Hydrogen and Oxygen gas out of water! I will also tell you why we can't use pennies to charge our cell phones. This is a fascinating tale behind one of our most used devices in modern life: the battery. Check it out!
Experiments:
1. How to make a voltaic pile:
Take 10 shiny pennies, 10 zinc washers (or tin foil), and cut out 10 circles in paper or cardboard. Put the paper or cardboard in a cup full of vinegar. Layer the items zinc, paper, penny, zinc, paper, penny... You got a battery! Crazy eh?
2. How to make Hydrogen and Oxygen
Take a container of water and add a pinch of baking soda (you can add salt but it will make Chlorine and that is dangerous). Put leads from a 9 V battery into the water. That is it. If you put a tube with a balloon on top of the leads you can collect the gas but be careful, the gasses can be dangerous around a flame!
Thanks:
Big Shout out to Bertrand Wolff in France who is working with Christine Blondel on the History of Electricity. Their videos have a lot more detail on how to recreate the experiments (and how to dissect the frog). If you speak any French I recommend you check it out!
The frog videos were made at their request by Dr. Francois Ferriere at the University de Rennes 1 and can be seen at:

The videos of the voltage and maximum current from a voltaic pile as well as the gentleman getting shocked can be seen at:

Finally, as usual, a big thank you to the fabulous Kim Nalley for singing "electricity" and some background music.
