I am electrical engineer, and I just love this video. Thank you so much. This is exactly what we needed in my times but did not have. Now the younger ones are so lucky that they can watch such useful ideas explained with such simplicity and clarity.

I have learned more watching your awesome videos than I ever did in High School. Thank you so much for doing the research and sharing it with us! ❤️❤️❤️

You didn’t mention it in your video so you inspired me to look up galvanic corrosion. And now I have a perfect understanding of why I had to redo portion of the plumbing in my house. 😁

Just a little note: Alessandro Volta, not Alessandra. Alessandra is the female for Alessandro (male). I'm enjoying a lot your videos! Thanks for sharing your researches!

You are AMAZING! Thank you for making my love of science even more exciting with history. GREAT JOB!

Loved it. This video shows how complex science is, and how human emotions get involved in it. I am just sorry for all the frogs used to find out the secrets of electricity.

1:48 "Anyway, there was a disected frog on the table". The way you closed off that discussion 😂 ...

Now I want to read Frankenstein. "It's Frawnkensteen!" What a morbid series of experiments. Absolutely fascinating, though.

Just wanted to say thank you very very much for your series on the history of electricity. Just what I have been looking for quite some time. You answer all the questions that kept coming up for me. Done so very thoughtful and detailed, much appreciated. Enjoy your sense of humor as well, always makes learning more fun when paired with a little humor. Thanks again for a wonderful complete series. All the best to you and keep charging forward:)

Very specific point, but I would not say Galvani's frog was an invention, but a discovery. He discovered the effect of different metals with an electrolyte between them.

Thank u very much for this Kathy !

you helped me to increase my knowledge about electricity. and thank you for that kathy

This video is really cool! I'm going to show a part of it to my students, thanks!

Excellent!

Thank you for explaining this

Its great to find such an interesting vid.

Recreating Galvani’s experiment as a part of our high school drama production, thanks for outlining it!

Well summarized

Very interesting; keep making more videos

You gota love a guy named Luigi.

Great video! Thank you! Just a little correction from an Italian fellow.. the name is AlessandrO (male) Volta, not AlessandrA (female) ;)

such charming informative videos

thank you for this great video. just subscribed

Hi Kathy, great video! Looks like you are doing great with your tags. Got to be frustrating to have so many views but not a lot of Subs. I subed.

Agree, so many great examples of 'accidental' discovery in this series. I was wondering Kathy, do you think it was the frog or the scalpel that got accidentally charged up by the nearby electricity machine? Must it have been the frog, because the scalpel being a conducter would have discharged as soon as it was picked up? Also evokes a nice image of a 1700's science lab: anatomy and electricity going on the same bench etc.. :)

I'm just a regular Asian geek trying and Gilvani isbone of my idols in the field of science and med . Huhuhu i hope my life won't be waste i am doing everything I can to contribute to science and write my name in history

it really helped me

This video is amazing ! Thank you very much for making and publishing it!

I'm going to play that song every day in my class from now on

great video

The Baghdad Battery does share some similarities with modern batteries in terms of its basic components and the potential for generating an electric current. The combination of a metal cylinder (copper) and an acidic electrolyte (possibly vinegar or lemon juice) does resemble a simple electrochemical cell, similar to how modern batteries work. However, it's important to note that the design and purpose of the Baghdad Battery, if it was indeed a functioning battery, would likely have been quite different from modern batteries in terms of scale, capacity, and intended use. The power output of the Baghdad Battery, if any, would have been very low and not comparable to the energy density of modern batteries. Furthermore, the Baghdad Battery's exact function and whether it was truly used as a battery or for a different purpose remain uncertain. The artifacts discovered do not provide conclusive evidence of their original intent, and alternative theories have been proposed. While the Baghdad Battery is often presented as a potential example of ancient battery technology, it's worth noting that no direct evidence has been found to confirm its use as a battery. The interpretation of the Baghdad Battery as a functioning battery remains speculative and subject to ongoing discussion and research.

I love how much of science is driven by jealousy and the desire to humiliate someone else.

How did the frog legs kick when they were hanging from the fence, when there were clear skies? I saw that the leg was hanging by its nerve, from a copper hook, but there was still no circuit formed. Or was there actually another wire attaching the end of the leg to the fence, closing the circuit?

I'm doing Physics college and the goal of the one of the subjects is to make a Physics class with Science History. Your video has helped me a lot! Thank you! Very nice way to learn Science :)

I just love your chanell ...it's on physics' history ...I will learn a lot from this inhsallah 🌸after mine exams. .💫🖤

We may measure batteries in volts, but we do it with a galvanometer. In your face, Volta! Were you deliberately quoting from "Frankenstein" with that "spark of life" line? Some of the movie versions of "Frankenstein" are pretty good about giving the historic background. There had been preliminary successes in resuscitation, and it appeared by the science of the time that we were much closer than we turned out to be at achieving reanimation, artificial life, or some other major breakthru at understanding the nature of life.

this is good

OMG that's cool. WOW

Mrs. Kathy your suspense is on par

nice video

That was galvanizing.

It was raining frogs, Luigi !

Yeah, but what about frogs connected in series to make a battery?

thumps up

that sounds exciting about that frog 🤨🙂

how did the frog become a battery 🔋?

Thank you for the great video. On an historical note, I don't agree on the fact that Galvani invented the battery. Galvani setup an experiment that involved the use of a battery, where two different metals were the cathode and anode respectively, and the electrolyte was constituted by the bodily fluids of the dead muscle. Galvani's explanation including "animal electricity" was totally incorrect. Alessandro Volta grasped the true chemistry going on there, and build the battery without the dead animal parts. Galvani may have incidentally built a functional battery, but he wasn't aware of it. Current history attributes the invention of the battery to Volta, with reason; it is an attribution with which I concur. I did a search following your video - at the University of Pavia with which Volta was associated - but things are standing the way they always had: Volta is still the inventor of the battery. Regards, Anthony

Alessandro Volta, not Alessandra.

This is what my physics class is lacking

Our brains are the most electric muscle in the body. I know. Shocking! Right?

lol

Kathy, I love you for light that you are and the work you are doing, but we've got work on that energy level! I believe you'll attract more attention with less of an actor's face and more of yourself. Kids also respond better to what's real. I also suggest less distracting music, soft ambient music seems most fitting. Again, thank you for the history lesson, it was most interesting! 🙏

That was a time when amphibians like frogs and the like were plentiful, before the species decline due to pesticides and loss of habitat.

Trying to come up with a good crunchy frog joke...

Nadia loves Kathy loves physics ;)

I had to research this for stupid school

wished the story was temporally linear. how do i jump from lightning rods to 1790?

electricityyyyyeeee electricity

Will a dead praying mantis revive from this experiment?

I watched this in school

Is it scientifically prooved or controversy now yet

i wounder if Kathy loves physics :/

Lol

electricity

Well, Galvani got a coil and a meter in his honour, so he gained everlasting fame too.

yaaaaaaaaa i eat frogs

Just a film tip, make sure the top of your head is at the top of the frame. This is called headroom. Trust me im a FILMAKER.

What next part 2?! 😠😡🤬😤😒💢😈

What I'd like to know is, when will modern science come up with a battery that lasts longer than what we've got now? Electric cars and motorcycles all have extremely limited range entirely due to their inferior batteries. This alone is what's keeping electric vehicles from being practical and mainstream. Everything about transportation has evolved except the battery. The most innovative thing that's happened to automotive batteries in the last quarter-century is simply going from a "wet" battery to a sealed battery. And it's still disappointingly weak and frustratingly short-lived.

Great content has hardly any views!! Fools may be in majority

Show off with that stupid battery 😠😡🤬😤😒💢

Yes it is a stupid useless battery 😠😡🤬😤😒💢😈

Show off with your stupid battery 😠💢🤬😡

Please get rid of the background music. It's of no value to anyone and marks you as an ametuer presenter. You are spoiling your otherwise wonderful videos.

Yep. This guy is my grandfather. He is a cool guy.
