Use "voltaic" in a sentence

1. The suit fabric was woven from photo voltaic and piezoelectric materials so that it generated electricity when the suit was exposed to light or vibration

2. It’s easy to see that with plug-in hybrid electric cars and widespread use of solar voltaic energy we will become energy self sufficient, and our burning of gasoline will drop to about 1/4 of the current level, with attendant savings in clean air

3. I have for some time been of opinion that the principle extricated by the Voltaic pile is a compound of caloric and electricity, both being original and collateral products of Galvanic action

4. It is well known that heat is liberated by the Voltaic apparatus, in a manner and degree which has not been imitated by means of mechanical electricity; and that the latter, while it strikes at a greater distance, and pervades conductors with much greater speed, can with difficulty be made to effect the slightest decompositions

5. Sir Humphry Davy was so much at a loss to account for the continued ignition of wire at the poles of a Voltaic apparatus, that he considers it an objection to the materiality of heat; since the wire could not be imagined to contain sufficient caloric to keep up the emission of this principle for an unlimited time

6. Though peculiarly liable to intense ignition, when exposed between the poles of the Voltaic apparatus, it seems to me it does not display this characteristic with common electricity

7. That no subtile fluid, such as the matter of heat has been imagined to be, can be discharged from these substances, in consequence of the effect of the electricity, seems probable, from the circumstance, that a wire of platina may be preserved in a state of intense ignition in vacuo, by means of the Voltaic apparatus, for an unlimited time; and such a wire cannot be supposed to contain an inexhaustible quantity of subtile matter

10. Pfaff, theory of voltaic electricity, xix, 178
