In the following year, he worked on the [...] servation of mass and discovered that hydrogen, in combination with ox- ygen, produces water. His work was characterized by organizational skills, abundance of good ideas, universality, and modernism. [...] acquired a license to run a solicitor practice. It was likely due to his studies in Law that his works were so well written, with their meanings always easily comprehensible, clear, well-defined, and fully

Firstly the person was at rest, and secondly he/she was at work”. Lavoisier started to refer to his inferences from the experiment. “I assumed that the purpose of

that is conserved, and thus there is a direct ratio between the mechanical work and the heat that can be produced by the work. Joule started to talk, and while he was talking he felt more and more that [...] had raised his attention to a certain aspect of a well-known principle: The conversion of mechanical work or electricity into heat. Even though this convertibility was established, what puzzled Joule was [...] was a newly appointed professor of physics in Glasgow, he had studied in Cambridge and afterwards worked with the French Victor Regnault, the leading experimentalist in the sciences of heat.

………………………………………………………………………………… Activity 4 The formula W=m.g.h is used for the calculation of the work produced through the fall of a body with a mass of m. The mass is measured in kg, where g expresses [...] the constant height from which bodies fall measured in m. We will use it in order to calculate the work produced during the fall of the weights of the device. The heat produced in the cylinder with the [...] evolved various experimental settings were used, new methods were applied and the relation between work and heat was calculated as can be seen in the table below: Table 3 W=4,2 (Joule/cal) x Q .

The solar heater had become a solar cooker. Over the next several years, Augustin contin- ued to work on his solar energy idea, employing his natural creativity and his university training in physics [...] then, Augustin set out to lay the groundwork for his solar dreams in other ways: by writing about his work and applying for patents. Astonishingly, while still being a full-time mathe- matics teacher, he managed [...] to register three patents for his designs, and by 1876, he had achieved suf- ficient fame with his work that the government awarded him a silver medal. Most importantly, though, that year Augustin was granted

Horace de Saussure was a French - Swiss scien- tist and started his work of solar cooking in 1767 building a [...] stem power. Solar cooking was his another field of investigations. Exploring solar cooking he used works of Hor- ace-Benedict de Saussure and Claude Pouillet. Mouchot also demonstrated prin- ciple of ice [...] bizarre – even magical.” Mouhout won a first place medal at this exhibi- tion and could continue his work on the devel- opments.
