Volta, in opposition, reasoned that the animal electricity was a physical phenomenon caused by rubbing frog skin and not a metallic electricity.
12.
Italian scientist Luigi Galvani had a electrostatic generator in his laboratory, where experiments with frog legs led to the discovery of animal electricity.
13.
"' Luigi Aloisio Galvani "'(; 9 September 1737 4 December 1798 ) was an Italian physician, physicist, biologist and philosopher, who discovered animal electricity.
14.
Since Galvani was reluctant to intervene in the controversy with Volta, he trusted his nephew, Giovanni Aldini, to act as the main defender of the theory of animal electricity.
15.
These early researchers studied " animal electricity " and were among the first to realize that applying an electrical signal to an isolated animal muscle caused it to twitch.
16.
In 1793 he published a 300-page volume in English, titled " Experiments on Animal Electricity " that at the time constituted the most organic analysis of all the problems of galvanism.
17.
In 1790, Prof . Luigi Alyisio Galvani of Bologna, while conducting experiments on " animal electricity ", noticed the twitching of a frog's legs in the presence of an electric machine.
18.
Matteucci aimed with this apparatus to address Volta's criticism of Nobili by constructing a circuit, as far as possible, entirely out of biological material and hence prove the existence of animal electricity.
19.
The effect was named after the scientist Luigi Galvani, who became one of the most brilliant scientists in the 18th century with his research and experiments of his theory on animal electricity.
20.
In the following months Valli became an ambassador of animal electricity in Europe, making public displays of the galvanian experiments and publishing galvanian papers in cities such as Turin, Paris, and London.
