All I'm saying here is that Professor L. I. Anatychuk of the Institute of Thermoelectricity in the Ukraine thinks that the muscular spasms observed in Volta's frog's leg experiments are the result of the thermoelectric effect acting in the metal rods.
And if you read Professor Anatychuk's papers on the subject at:
Are there any specific parts of Professor Anatychuk's arguments which you disagree with?

PS, Professor Anatychuk's credentials as an expert in the field of thermoelectrics are well established. NASA seems particularly appreciative of his efforts over the last 43 years - just search for Anatychuk at:
PPS, On 16 Oct I sent a reply to Androcles in this thread, posted to sci.physics, sci.materials and sci.med.dentistry, which began "Crank Professor?" and went on to describe Professor Anatychuk's standing in the field of thermoelectric science.
It looks like this reply has disappeared from the threads in all three newsgroups.
Evidence of it's existence can still be seen in in Adrocles' next follow-up, which begins by quoting my "Crank Professor?", and also in the Google result which I've just found searching Anatychuk Thermoelectric NASA (see below).
"Volta's Frog's Leg Experiment - Electrolysis or Thermoelectricity ...
16 Oct 2010 ... If you go to the website of The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System at:You can also find the message (#11 10-17-2010, 07:06 PM) still in the whole thread in a synch-copy of the sci.med.dentistry newsgroup at:
Has this message been deliberately removed from the threads in the primary newsgroups?
And if so, why?
(I tell ya, if I was a conspiracy theorist......)
