Galvanism is animating a dead corps by electrocution throughout the body.

The electricity animates the dead body and causes it to move through muscle movement. Luigi Galvani founded this idea in 1791. Genetic engineering is a variety of techniques that cut up and combine different genetic material to create or change a…

*** Luigi Galvani used an electrostatic machine that produced sparks on frog legs and began to investigate the muscular contractions produced by electricity. Galvani discovered that the frog leg would contract if a scalpel touched the frog’s nerves when the machine was on.
 More comprehensive experiments by Galvani showed that a dead frog’s leg could be made to twitch by electrical stimulation. Galvani also showed that the same twitching could be produced by touching the leg with a copper hook…

emissions between the electric and gas cars has played a key role in determining which type is more environmentally-safe. Vehicle exhaust has brought many discussions because of its contribution to climate change. Due to electric vehicles splitting their power between electricity and gas, they emit fewer greenhouse gases and have a smaller carbon footprint (Duivenvoorden, 2014). Gasoline cars account for much of the dangerous exhaust gases entering the atmosphere. However, electric cars are not…

Out of the three cars I researched, I picked the 2010 Dodge Charger SXT that has 99,981miles on its odometer, an exterior color of bright silver metallic clearco, and an interior color of charcoal. It has an automatic transmission with a 6-cylinder engine, and it averages about 25 mpg on the highway and 17 in the city. There are a few pros and cons about each of the cars. What I liked about the Dodge charger is that it has the most features within the car itself. The inside stereo system has the…
