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..

Electro-magnetism :: Electro-magnetism (n.) The magnetism developed by a current of electricity; the science which treats of the development of magnetism by means of voltaic electricity, and of the properties or actions of the currents evolved..

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

Chemiglyphic :: Chemiglyphic (a.) Engraved by a voltaic battery.

Positive :: Positive (n.) The positive plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

Voltaic :: Voltaic (a.) Of or pertaining to voltaism, or voltaic electricity; as, voltaic induction; the voltaic arc..

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To free from polarization, as the negative plate of the voltaic battery..

Depolarizer :: Depolarizer (n.) A substance used to prevent polarization, as upon the negative plate of a voltaic battery..

Cathode :: Cathode (n.) The part of a voltaic battery by which the electric current leaves substances through which it passes, or the surface at which the electric current passes out of the electrolyte; the negative pole; -- opposed to anode..

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

Pile :: Pile (n.) A vertical series of alternate disks of two dissimilar metals, as copper and zinc, laid up with disks of cloth or paper moistened with acid water between them, for producing a current of electricity; -- commonly called Volta's pile, voltaic pile, or galvanic pile..

Volta-electric :: Volta-electric (a.) Of or pertaining to voltaic electricity, or voltaism..

Voltaplast :: Voltaplast (n.) A form of voltaic, or galvanic, battery suitable for use electrotyping..

Voltameter :: Voltameter (n.) An instrument for measuring the voltaic electricity passing through it, by its effect in decomposing water or some other chemical compound acting as an electrolyte..

Deflagrator :: Deflagrator (n.) A form of the voltaic battery having large plates, used for producing rapid and powerful combustion..

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

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

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..

Voltaism :: Voltaism (n.) That form of electricity which is developed by the chemical action between metals and different liquids; voltaic electricity; also, the science which treats of this form of electricity; -- called also galvanism, from Galvani, on account of his experiments showing the remarkable influence of this agent on animals..

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.
