Message definition (Zinc)
Galvani's friend, [[Alessandro Volta]], continued researching the effect and invented the [[Voltaic pile]] in 1800. Volta's pile consisted of a stack of simplified [[galvanic cell]]s, each being one plate of copper and one of zinc connected by an [[electrolyte]]. By stacking these units in series, the Voltaic pile (or "battery") as a whole had a higher voltage, which could be used more easily than single cells. Electricity is produced because the [[Volta potential]] between the two metal plates makes [[electron]]s flow from the zinc to the copper and corrode the zinc.
