Voltaic pile generates 0.76 V with a brine electrolyte. The voltages from the cells in the pile add, so the six cells in the diagram above generate 4.56 V of electromotive force. Voltaic pile The voltaic pile was the first electrical battery that could continuously provide an electric current to a circuit. It was invented by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, who published his experiments in 1799. The voltaic pile then enabled a rapid series of other discoveries including the electrical decomposition (electrolysis) of water into oxygen and hydrogen by William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle (1800) and the discovery or isolation of the
Alessandro Salvio Walker, 1843 Alessandro Salvio Alessandro Salvio (c. 1570 – c. 1640) was an Italian chess player who is considered to be the unofficial world champion around the year 1600. He started an Italian chess academy in Naples, Italy, and wrote a book called "Trattato dell'Inventione et Arte Liberale del Gioco Degli Scacchi", which was published in Naples in 1604. He also wrote "Il Puttino" published in 1634. According to JH Saratt's translation, Il Puttino was first published in 1604, and republished in 1634.
