Kathy Loves Physics & History | How Luigi Galvani's Frog Leg Experiment Made a Dead Frog Jump & Invented the Battery @Kathy_Loves_Physics | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 21 hours ago
How did Galvani frog leg experiment make a dead frog move? And how did that lead to the battery? And didn't Volta invent the first battery? Watch this video and learn the crazy story!

Special thanks to Dr. Francois Ferriere at the Universite de Rennes 1 for letting me use the frog videos! I really didn't want to kill a frog. The sequence of the electrified frog was made at the request of Christine Blondel and Bertrand Wolff whose video on Galvani and the frog (in French!) can be found here:
