...serves to decompose heat again into motion or the raising of weights. A locomotive engine with its train may be compared to a distilling apparatus ; the heat...boiler passes off as motion, and this is deposited again as heat at the axles of the wheels. We will close our disquisition, the propositions of which... | |

...production of kinetic electricity, as in the thermo-electric pile. Mayer, writing in 1842, says: "A locomotive may be compared to a distilling apparatus;...speed until they are on the point of entering the elation, hence their motion is more suddenly arrested than that of trains in general, and hence the... | |

...serves to turn heat back into motion or the raising of weights. A locomotive engine with its train may be compared to a distilling apparatus; the heat applied under the boiler turns into motion, and this is turned back to heat at the axles of the wheels. Finally, Mayer gives... | |

... the earth undergoes, owing to the fall of the water, gives rise to motion, which afterwards disappears again, calling forth unceasingly a great quantity of heat; and inversely, the steamengine serves to decompose heat again into motion or the raising...
