  2. Baghdad Battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_Battery

    Connected in series, the battery produced 4 volts of electricity. When linked in series, the cells had sufficient power to electroplate a small token and to deliver current to acupuncture type needles for therapeutic purposes, but not enough to deliver an electric shock to MythBusters co-host Adam Savage who was instead pranked by co-hosts who ...

  3. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    The electric field sends the electron to the p-type material, and the hole to the n-type material. If an external current path is provided, electrical energy will be available to do work. The electron flow provides the current, and the cell's electric field creates the voltage. With both current and voltage the silicon cell has power.

  4. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana's_Tree

    Alchemy was a series of practices that combined philosophical, magical, and chemical experimentation. One goal of European alchemists was to create what was known as the Philosopher’s Stone , a substance that when heated and combined with a non precious metal like copper or iron (known as the “base”) would turn into gold.

  6. Leyden jar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar

    The Leyden jar was used to conduct many early experiments in electricity, and its discovery was of fundamental importance in the study of electrostatics. It was the first means of accumulating and preserving electric charge in large quantities that could be discharged at the experimenter's will, thus overcoming a significant limit to early ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_battery

    For children in the age range 10−13, batteries are used to illustrate the connection between chemistry and electricity as well as to deepen the circuit concept for electricity. The fact that different chemical elements such as copper and zinc are used can be placed in the larger context that the elements do not disappear or break down when ...

    That alchemy works best on the classic lead single “Learning to Fly,” a song full of lush Lynne flourishes that still lets Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch cut loose a little.

  9. Direct energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

    This would generate a direct current of electricity. Richard F. Post at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was an early proponent of the idea. [1] Post reasoned that capturing the energy would require five steps: [2] (1) Ordering the charged particles into linear beam. (2) Separation of positives and negatives.
