I found an old physics textbook, the 1892 edition of 'Elementary Lessons on Electricity and Magnetism' by Silvanus Thompson (S.P. Thompson). On pages 149 &amp; 150 it mentions that the Clarendon laboratory bell powered by a Zamboni dry pile had been running for over forty years.,(reply>), @Olaf Mafren-Sergei N____katto or N____cut in English. That's an interesting username.,(reply>), I saw "Zamboni" and now i'm wondering if there's a connection to the vehicles that drive around ice arenas :D,(reply>), @Olaf Mafren-Sergei No, that's "Zeroni".,(reply>), Zamboni? Like from Holes? If you get madame Zamboni to drink water from the creek your curse will be lifted?,(reply>), incredible. i'll have to look that up.
