A REMARKABLE cALvANlc BATTERY


At a recent meeting Of the Society
of telegraph Engineers, London, Dr..
Burns pneumatic battery, was ex-
hibited. This remarkable battery, as
described in Engineering. is u
peculiar form of the ordinary BIZ
chromate Of potash cell. The negative
pole is zinc plate; but the positive
pole instead Of being a carbon plate is
in this form, a compound metallic
plate formed by coatinga copper plate
with lead and facing one side with
plate Of platinum. A section across
such a plate would, THEREFORE, pass
through lead. copper, lead. and pla-
tinum in succession. The backing of
copper to the platinum plate dimin.
ishes the resistance of the positive
pole, while the lead protects the cop
per and solder from the acid solution.
This is made by adding IL ounces of
bichromate Of potash and ] pint of
sulphuric acid to pints OF water.
The popularity of the cell. however,
consists in an arrangement by which
air can be pumped into the liquid.
This is effected by having a per.
forated tube running along the bot
tom Of each cell, and a hand syringe
or bellows in connection with 1t, 50
that air forced into the tube escapes
through the perforations into the
the liquid. This circulation of air
gives rise to an extraordinary strength
of current in the circuit Of the cell.
and to An equally extraordinary de-
velopement of heat within the cell.
Ten Of the cells exhibited heated a
stout platinum wire, 30 inch, long
and No. IA i. w. G., to a glowing
heat on pumping. The heating took
place gradually as the pumping went
on, and the wire cooled again to its
dark state when pumping was left
off. Some idea will be formed of the
great heating power here displayed,
when it is remembered that it takes
20 or 80 Groves elements to heat
similar length of No. 18 or "a B.W.G.
platinum wire. The battery was. in
consequence of its heating effect.
