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

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..

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..

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that passing through the cell..

Anelectrode :: Anelectrode (n.) The positive pole of a voltaic battery.

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

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

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

Catelectrode :: Catelectrode (n.) The negative electrode or pole of a voltaic battery.

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..

Negative :: Negative (n.) The negative plate of a voltaic or electrolytic cell.

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

Magnetomotor :: Magnetomotor (n.) A voltaic series of two or more large plates, producing a great quantity of electricity of low tension, and hence adapted to the exhibition of electro-magnetic phenomena..

Electro-gilt :: Electro-gilt (a.) Gilded by means of voltaic electricity.

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

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..

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.

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