Thermobattery :: Thermobattery (n.) A thermoelectric battery; a thermopile.

Cell :: Cell (n.) A jar of vessel, or a division of a compound vessel, for holding the exciting fluid of a battery..

Hydro-electric :: Hydro-electric (a.) Pertaining to, employed in, or produced by, the evolution of electricity by means of a battery in which water or steam is used..

Assault :: Assault (n.) An apparently violent attempt, or willful offer with force or violence, to do hurt to another; an attempt or offer to beat another, accompanied by a degree of violence, but without touching his person, as by lifting the fist, or a cane, in a threatening manner, or by striking at him, and missing him.
