Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization With this crude apparatus and with no greater electromotive force than could be attained from a voltaic pile, he converted charcoal into graphite, volatilized phosphorus from its compounds, isolated metallic calcium and synthesized calcium carbide. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries Of course, one cannot be expected to carry about a voltaic pile and go hunting for the medullary recesses of a savage and turbulent fish. Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science October, 1877.

Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 From a consideration of his source of electricity, a voltaic pile of two thousand plates, it is certain that this could not have been an electric spark. Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization A fertile field is here opened to discovery, although the voltaic pile has already taught us the intimate connection existing between electric, magnetic, and chemical phenomena. COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1 In fact, bass will not be induced to decently decease by any civilized process short of a powerful shock from a voltaic pile administered in the region of their medulla oblongata. Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science October, 1877.
