Hi MJM thanks very informative,,,Another question does it take the same amount of energy to cool things down ,as it does to heat them up ?? conservation says yes but ....... also we can heat things up very quickly but can we cool them down very quickly as well ?? we can use microwaves to heat things up but what are the alternatives with cooling ??Sorry my questions are so short and takes a fraction of your time for your answers !!! Also, Does all those collisions of the molecules on the walls of the containers have a detrimental effect on the containers ??Willy
Hi MJM, I have finally got the small IC engine going and it is such a simple machine really just a steam type piston and cylinder a fuel system that is just basically alcohol burning ...so why did it take such a long time to invent ?? We had all the rules of thermodynamics available to us plus all the materials and technology available for at least a hundred years , and we had the scientists and engineers to hand !! We also had clockmakers that were capable of precision work as well ... also we are still using 19th century technology in our transport system !! any way just something to think about really here is the vid of the engine performing Not a valid vimeo URLWilly
I do not trust Wikipedia as a source of information. Recently I have seen too much rubbish and untruths on the site. Edited - I realise that I may be being a little too harsh.
