The Voltaic Pile was invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800. He demonstrated that when certain metals and chemicals come into contact with each other they can produce an electrical current. He placed together several pairs of copper and zinc discs separated by paper soaked in salt water, and an electrical current was produced. This was the first chemical battery.
For his contributions to the study of electricity, the SI unit called the volt was named after Volta.

"I don't think there's anybody else though," he added, with a short laugh, "if some folks knew I came soft in the head." Jed smiled, and there was no resentment in the smile. "They'd locate the softness in t'other head of the two, Sam," he I never mention to other folks. Guess it must be because you--you-- .
