Saturn V and lead–acid battery: what they have in common
- Step 1. Saturn V — uses — Hydrogen. Hydrogen stages.
- Step 2. Hydrogen — uses — Electrolysis. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water.
- Step 3. Electrolysis — evolved from — Voltaic pile. The first electrolysis of water was powered by a voltaic pile.
- Step 4. Voltaic pile — evolved into — Lead–acid battery. Planté’s battery developed the idea of a chemical current source by making it rechargeable.
