Cruikshank's trough battery, circa 1800
Cruikshank's trough battery. 19th-century illustration of British chemist William Cruikshank (died 1810 or 1811) inventing his trough battery in around 1800. This design was an improvement on the voltaic pile design by Italian physicist and chemist Alessandro Volta. Whereas Volta had arranged his plates vertically in a pile, Cruikshank arranged zinc and copper plates horizontally in wooden troughs. Grooves in the box held the metal plates in position. The wooden box was sealed with cement and filled with an electrolyte of brine or watered-down acid. This battery provided more power than Volta's pile and had the advantage of not drying out with use. Artwork published in 1867.
