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..

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..

Electro-dynamics :: Electro-dynamics (n.) The phenomena of electricity in motion.

Shock :: Shock (n.) The sudden convulsion or contraction of the muscles, with the feeling of a concussion, caused by the discharge, through the animal system, of electricity from a charged body..

Nonconducting :: Nonconducting (a.) Not conducting; not transmitting a fluid or force; thus, in electricity, wax is a nonconducting substance..

Launch :: Launch (n.) The boat of the largest size belonging to a ship of war; also, an open boat of any size driven by steam, naphtha, electricity, or the like..

Electrification :: Electrification (n.) The act of electrifying, or the state of being charged with electricity..

Electro-bioscopy :: Electro-bioscopy (n.) A method of determining the presence or absence of life in an animal organism with a current of electricity, by noting the presence or absence of muscular contraction..

Paragrele :: Paragrele (n.) A lightning conductor erected, as in a vineyard, for drawing off the electricity in the atmosphere in order to prevent hailstorms..

Electromotor :: Electromotor (n.) An apparatus or machine for producing motion and mechanical effects by the action of electricity; an electro-magnetic engine.

Electrology :: Electrology (n.) That branch of physical science which treats of the phenomena of electricity and its properties.

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

Electro-ballistics :: Electro-ballistics (n.) The art or science of measuring the force or velocity of projectiles by means of electricity.

Leyden Phial :: Leyden phial () A glass jar or bottle used to accumulate electricity. It is coated with tin foil, within and without, nearly to its top, and is surmounted by a brass knob which communicates with the inner coating, for the purpose of charging it with electricity. It is so named from having been invented in Leyden, Holland..

Electrostatics :: Electrostatics (n.) That branch of science which treats of statical electricity or electric force in a state of rest.

Electro-vitalism :: Electro-vitalism (n.) The theory that the functions of living organisms are dependent upon electricity or a kindred force.

Dynamo-electric :: Dynamo-electric (a.) Pertaining to the development of electricity, especially electrical currents, by power; producing electricity or electrical currents by mechanical power..
