"Galvanic" may refer to
- GalvanizationGalvanizationGalvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, in order to prevent rusting. The term is derived from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani....
- Galvanic cellGalvanic cellA Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from spontaneous redox reaction taking place within the cell...
- Galvanic skin responseGalvanic skin responseSkin conductance, also known as galvanic skin response , electrodermal response , psychogalvanic reflex , skin conductance response or skin conductance level , is a method of measuring the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies with its moisture level...
- Galvanic corrosion
- Galvanic seriesGalvanic seriesThe galvanic series determines the nobility of metals and semi-metals. When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while electrically connected, the less noble will experience galvanic corrosion. The rate of corrosion is determined by the electrolyte and the difference in nobility...
- Galvanic bathGalvanic bathGalvanic bath is an alternative medical treatment based on the simultaneous use of water and electric current. The patient lies in a 34 degree Celsius bath, while gentle electric current is passed through his or her body....
- Galvanic anodeGalvanic anodeA galvanic anode is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion....
- Galvanic isolationGalvanic isolationGalvanic isolation is a principle of isolating functional sections of electrical systems, thus preventing the movement of charge-carrying particles from one section to another, i.e. no direct current flows between the sections. Energy or information can still be exchanged between the sections by...
- Galvanic Vestibular StimulationGalvanic Vestibular StimulationGalvanic Vestibular Stimulation is the name given to the process of sending specific electric messages to a nerve in the ear that maintains balance. This technology has been investigated for both military and commercial purposes. The technology is being applied in ATSUGI, Japan and the Mayo Clinic...
- GalvanismGalvanismIn biology, galvanism is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current. In physics and chemistry, it is the induction of electrical current from a chemical reaction, typically between two chemicals with differing electronegativities....
