‎SULLA FORMAZIONE DELLA GRANDINE.‎

‎Memoria. Con un Articolo sul medesimo argomento del Sig. Canonico Angelo Bellani. Tipogr. Manini, Milano, 1824. In-8 p. (mm. 225x140), brossura muta mod., pp. 170,(2). Questa interessante Memoria del Volta cos suddivisa: Sulla formazione della grandine - Sul periodo de' temporali e sul vento freddissimo ed istraordinariamente secco che si fa sentire molte ore dopo a quelli che scaricarono grandine. Riferisce il Manini nell'Avviso al lettore ..non essendo ancora stata finora inserita che in opere voluminose, ne restava riservata la lettura a pochi studiosi di uno dei principali fenomeni dell'elettricit atmosferica. Prescindendo dall'opinione recentemente divulgata da questo sommo maestro nell'elettrica scienza, l'origine da esso gi assegnata alla formazione dei temporali grandinosi.. servir a comprovare, che quanto pu essere sicuro l'uso dei Parafulmini frankliniani per preservare le case, altrettanto inefficace deve riescire l'applicazione dei Paragrandini massime se di paglia alle campagne.Alla Memoria del Volta segue un lungo articolo del canonico Angelo Bellani, equivalente anch'esso ad un'altra Memoria sullo stesso argomento, che fu pubblicato per la prima volta sul Giornale di Fisica di Pavia nel 1817. "Prima edizione delle due Memorie riunite in un volume". Cfr. Scolari Alessandro Volta, n. 238 e 288.Dopo l'invenzione della pila l'attivit di Volta si attenu; tuttavia numerosi e ancora importanti sono i lavori da lui compiuti dopo il 1800; tra essi, una celebre Memoria sulla formazione della grandine. Cos Diz. Treccani,XII, p. 858Lieve alone al marg. infer., altrimenti esemplare con barbe ben conservato.‎

‎First edition of ""the first announcement of the voltaic 'pile,' or electric battery"" (Grolier/Horblit). It was a breakthrough in physics, and led to the development of electrotechnology and is today regarded as being one of the major milestones in the history of science. ""The voltaic pile revolutionized the theory and practice of electricity, so that within one hundred years of Volta's invention, more progress was made than in the two thousand four hundred years between the tentative experience of Thales and the publication of Volta's letter addressed to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society ... The indispensability and ubiquity of electricity, in one form or another, in western civilization today emphasize sharply the fact that before 1800 human environment and existence were closer to life in ancient Egypt than to our own. Volta's invention is one of the earliest and most important causes of the change"" (PMM).""The paper, in French, was sent by Volta to his friend Cavallo in London for communication to the Royal Society. In it Volta describes the pile of alternating dissimilar metals (silver and zinc) which, when moist, generated a flow of constant-current electricity. With this new force water was decomposed, metal was electro-deposited, the electro-magnet was created and the electrical age was begun.""(Dibner Heralds of Science, no. 60).Horblit 37b Norman 2164 PMM 255Sparrow 168Dibner 60Barchas 2092‎

Il est connu pour ses travaux sur l'électricité et pour l'invention de la première pile électrique, appelée pile voltaïque. Son nom est à l'origine de l'unité de tension électrique. - Luigi Galvani avait découvert un phénomène quil qualifiait d« électricité animale » : lorsque l'on connecte deux disques métalliques de métaux différents par une patte de grenouille, celle-ci se contracte, indiquant le passage d'un courant électrique. Volta eut l'idée de substituer à la patte de lanimal un buvard imbibé de saumure, et ses méthodes détude de la charge électrique lui permirent de montrer que, dans les deux cas, il y avait échange de charge électrique et apparition dune tension entre les deux métaux. Il introduit ainsi la notion de « couple électrochimique », et formule la loi selon laquelle la force électromotrice (fem) d'une pile galvanique, réalisée par mise en contact de deux électrodes métalliques via un électrolyte, est la différence entre deux « potentiels délectrode », qui ne dépendent que de la nature du métal constitutif : il s'ensuit que deux électrodes dun même métal ne peuvent développer de tension. En 1800, un différend professionnel à propos de linterprétation biologique de Galvani poussa Volta à inventer la pile voltaïque, une pile électrique primitive débitant un courant électrique à peu près stable. Volta savait que l'accouplement de métaux le plus efficace pour produire de l'électricité est le couple zinc-argent. Il fit d'abord l'essai de deux piles branchées en série ; chacune de ces piles était un gobelet de vin rempli de saumure, dans laquelle trempaient les électrodes ; puis il remplaça les gobelets par des lamelles de carton imbibées de saumure, interposées entre les rondelles de zinc et d'argent empilées alternativement.
