ECS Classics: Weston, the Weston Cell, and the Volt

The 23(4) 38-40), Weston was also interested in lighting equipment. His definition of the volt changed a few times throughout the course of company, among others, won the contract to illuminate the new history and at one point it was even based on electrochemistry, on Brooklyn Bridge. His carbon based light bulb filament made from the so-called Clark cell. The international volt was defined in 1893 Tamidine (reduced nitrocellulose) was used until tungsten was as 1/1.434 electromotive force of the Clark cell. This definition lasted introduced. until 1908. The Clark cells used zinc or zinc amalgam for the anode and Weston was, since his first introduction to electrochemistry in mercury in a saturated aqueous solution of zinc sulfate for a cathode, electroplating, well aware of the need to reliably measure electrical with a paste of mercurous sulfate as a depolarizer. The cell design parameters. Because of this interest, in 1887 he established a had a drawback in a rather significant temperature coefficient and also laboratory making devices for measuring electrical parameters. In the suffered corrosion problems, which were caused by platinum wires process he developed two important alloys, constantan and manganin, that were alloying with the zinc amalgam in the glass envelope. -
