Calorimotor :: Calorimotor (n.) A voltaic battery, having a large surface of plate, and producing powerful heating effects..

Volta :: Volta (n.) A turning; a time; -- chiefly used in phrases signifying that the part is to be repeated one, two, or more times; as, una volta, once. Seconda volta, second time, points to certain modifications in the close of a repeated strain..

Pillar :: Pillar (n.) The center of the volta, ring, or manege ground, around which a horse turns..

Acierage :: Acierage (n.) The process of coating the surface of a metal plate (as a stereotype plate) with steellike iron by means of voltaic electricity; steeling.

Battery :: Battery (v. t.) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.

Electro-positive :: Electro-positive (a.) Of such a nature relatively to some other associated body or bodies, as to tend to the negative pole of a voltaic battery, in electrolysis, while the associated body tends to the positive pole; -- the converse or correlative of electro-negative..

Couple :: Couple (a.) One of the pairs of plates of two metals which compose a voltaic battery; -- called a voltaic couple or galvanic couple.

Electro-tint :: Electro-tint (n.) A style of engraving in relief by means of voltaic electricity. A picture is drawn on a metallic plate with some material which resists the fluids of a battery; so that, in electro-typing, the parts not covered by the varnish, etc., receive a deposition of metal, and produce the required copy in intaglio. A cast of this is then the plate for printing..

Rheophore :: Rheophore (n.) One of the poles of a voltaic battery; an electrode.

Electro-motion :: Electro-motion (n.) The motion of electricity or its passage from one metal to another in a voltaic circuit; mechanical action produced by means of electricity.

Electro-gilding :: Electro-gilding (n.) The art or process of gilding copper, iron, etc., by means of voltaic electricity..

Voltaic :: Voltaic (a.) Of or pertaining to Alessandro Volta, who first devised apparatus for developing electric currents by chemical action, and established this branch of electric science; discovered by Volta; as, voltaic electricity..

Voltatype :: Voltatype (n.) An electrotype.

Volta-electrometer :: Volta-electrometer (n.) An instrument for the exact measurement of electric currents.

Rheophore :: Rheophore (n.) A connecting wire of an electric or voltaic apparatus, traversed by a current..

Zincoid :: Zincoid (a.) Pertaining to, or resembling, zinc; -- said of the electricity of the zincous plate in connection with a copper plate in a voltaic circle; also, designating the positive pole..

Transformer :: Transformer (n.) One who, or that which, transforms. Specif. (Elec.), an apparatus for producing from a given electrical current another current of different voltage..

Water Battery :: Water battery () A voltaic battery in which the exciting fluid is water.

Voltagraphy :: Voltagraphy (n.) In electrotypy, the act or art of copying, in metals deposited by electrolytic action, a form or pattern which is made the negative electrode..

Glyphography :: Glyphography (n.) A process similar to etching, in which, by means of voltaic electricity, a raised copy of a drawing is made, so that it can be used to print from..
