In the experiments recently tried with Mr. Scrivanow's pile, a large sized battery was made use of, whose dimensions were 300 x 145 x 125 millimeters, and whose weight was from 5 to 6 kilogrammes. The results were: intensity, 1 ampere; electro-motive power, 25 volts, corresponding to an energy of 25 volt-amperes, or about 2.5 kilogrammeters per second.
Scrivanow's pile is not adapted for industrial use because of the expense of the silver and the frequent manipulations it requires, but it has the advantage, however, of possessing, along with its small size and little weight, a disposable energy of from 150,000 to 200,000 kilogrammeters utilizable at the will of the consumer and securing to him a certain number of applications, either for lighting or the production of power.
Scrivanow's intention appears to be to apply this pile to the lighting of apartments, and even to the running of small motors, and, for the purpose of actuating sewing machines, he has already constructed a small model whose external dimensions are 160 x 100 x 90 millimeters. "My invention," says the inventor, "is intended as an electric pile capable of regeneration.
