ELECTRICAL BATTERIES IN RIGVEDA TIMES

In an amazing Indian text the Agastrya Samhita gives the precise directions for constructing electrical batteries. By the way, MITRA-VARUNA is now called cathode-anode, and Pranavayu and Udanavayu are to us oxygen and hydrogen. This document demonstrates the presence of electricity in the East,long, long ago.

"Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel.

Cover it first by copper sulfate and then moist sawdust.

After that put a mercury-amalgamated-zinc sheet on top of

an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna. Water will

be split by this current into Pranavayu and Udanavayu. A

chain of one hundred jars is said to give a very active

and effective force."
