The volt (symbol: V) is the SI derived unit of electromotive force, commonly called "voltage". It is also the unit for the related but slightly different quantity electric potential difference (also called "electrostatic potential difference"). It is named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), who invented the voltaic pile, possibly the first chemical battery. (Wikipedia)

In the Russell paradigm volts are units of discharging electrical energy or entropy. This new table is a beginning to develop tables as suggested by Keely in his Keelys Forty Laws. See Ampere
