 ==== Luigi Galvani ====
-Luigi Galvani (born September 9, 1737, in Bologna, died December 4, 1798, there - Italian physicist, physician, physiologist, Franciscan tertian. From 1763 he was a professor at the University of Bologna. During anatomical studies on frogs, he made a famous discovery of the phenomenon of electrical excitation of organs, which he attributed - erroneously - to the so-called animal electricity.

 ==== A Leyden jar ====
-A Leyden jar is an electrical charge storage device that is the first capacitor. It is a glass bottle whose two surfaces, outer and inner, are covered with isolated layers of metal. These layers act as the covers of the capacitor, while the glass of the bottle is the insulator.

 ==== Electric eels ====
-Electric eels inhabit the muddy waters of the Amazon and Orinoco floodplains. These are fortunately sparsely inhabited areas, as the electric eel can easily kill a human. It cannot eat him (it has any teeth, so it can only swallow small prey), but its electrical discharge is enough to stun and drown a horse.
