	Grove (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		William Grove was born in Swansea, Wales in 1811.
		Grove proved that his fuel cells worked, but as he had no entrepreneurial inclinations, and there was no practical use for them at that time anyway, the invention slumbered for more than 130 years.
		Grove’s knowledge of science made him an ideal choice as a lawyer in technical lawsuits and it seems likely that a large part of his legal practice lay in patent cases.

	Fuel Cells: Discovering the Science
		The "Grove cell," as it came to be called, used a platinum electrode immersed in nitric acid and a zinc electrode in zinc sulfate to generate about 12 amps of current at about 1.8 volts.
		Grove discovered that by arranging two platinum electrodes with one end of each immersed in a container of sulfuric acid and the other ends separately sealed in containers of oxygen and hydrogen, a constant current would flow between the electrodes.
		Grove had speculated that the action in his gas battery occurred at the point of contact between electrode, gas, and electrolyte, but was at a loss to explain further.

	Sir George Grove - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR GEORGE GROVE (1820-1900), English writer on music, was born at Clapham on the 13th of August 1820.
		Without Sir George Grove that eminent conductor would hardly have succeeded in doing what he did to encourage young composers and to educate the British public in music.
		His own articles in that work on Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Schubert are monuments of a special kind of learning, and that the rest of the book is a little thrown out of balance owing to their great length is hardly to be regretted.

		To test his reasoning, Sir William Robert Grove built a device that would combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, the world's first gas battery, later renamed the fuel cell.
		His invention was a success, and Grove's work advanced the understanding of the idea of conservation of energy and reversibility.
		Interest in Grove's "gas battery" diminished as the dawn of cheap fossil fuels approached and the soon to be discovered steam engine captivated the present day society.
