Alessandro Volta's theory of contact tension considered that the emf, which drives the electric current through a circuit containing a voltaic cell, occurs at the contact between the two metals. Volta did not consider the electrolyte, which was typically brine in his experiments, to be significant.
Victoria Falls Bridge is the location for a 111 meters (364 ft) bungee jump. The Victoria Falls Bridge crosses the Zambezi River just below the Victoria Falls.

It was a rainy day when paraplegic Riley Martin went over the edge. Bungee jumping may be one of the scariest of extreme sports. It takes nerves of steel to launch oneself off a bridge, cliff side, or other high platform with nothing but a rubber band to keep the jumper from a fairly messy death.What one really never expects to see, though, is a man in a wheelchair engage in the activityâwheelchair and all.College student Riley Martin has done just that to raise disability awareness. Riley, 21, is a business student at Okanagan College in British Columbia.riginally bungee jumping was just something Riley wanted to do, âto cross off the list,â but now he says he may be willing to do it again. âIt was a good feeling that I was still able to do it, just the same as able-bodied people,â he said.
