Batteries 2

The invention of batteries was considered a great discovery by affecting our lives. Has it affected our lives for good or for bad, since the discovery of batteries in around 1800? Before the time of invention a number of discoveries had previously been made. Floriano Caldani (1756) observed that frog legs could be made to contract when a near-by static machine was discharged. Luigi Galvani (1786) rediscovered this phenomenon and apparently unaware of similar work by Jan Swammerdam …

…has been for the human luxury although some less fortunate people have had their world enriched with a longer lifespan or just a higher quality of life. Adaptations will have to be made before the major energy contributors can be harnessed. Developments such as more powerful small batteries which discharging processes can be reversed need to be made to make batteries a better power storage source. When this is done the opportunities presented are endless.
