This may justly be termed an absolute scale, since its characteristic is quite independent of the physical properties of any specific substance. To compare this scale with that of the air-thermometer, the values (according to the principle of estimation stated above) of degrees of the air-thermometer must be known. Now an expression, obtained by Carnot from the consideration of his ideal steam-engine, enables us to calculate these values, when the latent heat of a given volume and the pressure of saturated vapour at any temperature are experimentally determined. The determination of these elements is the principal object of Regnault's great work, already referred to, but at present his researches are not complete. In the first part, which alone has been as yet published, the latent heats of a given

Arrangements were made for it to be read to the Royal Society of Edinburgh by a doddering professor so that the Society could be spared being tutored by a 17-year-old. As a young professor, Kelvin calculated the age of the earth to be between 20 million and 400 million years, based on thermodynamic principles plus the assumption that the earth had gradually cooled from an originally sun-like temperature. Geologists were horrified by the estimate, because they needed a lot more time, billions of years as it turned out, to explain the processes they were observing. Later knowledge of radioactivity would demonstrate how the earth could have a heat source quite apart from the sun, a fact that permitted a much longer planetary biography. Kelvin next studied the relationship of temperature and volume in gases, and proposed that as a temperature of -273 C is approached, not volume but the kinetic energy ("energy of motion") of molecules reaches zero; a fact that holds true for all matter. This temperature, an "absolute zero," was a basis for a new temperature scale, the Kelvin scale.

Duas histórias de Lord Kelvin William Thomson (1824-1907), foi uma das mais ilustres figuras da ciência na era vitoriana. Criança precoce, com 15 anos já estudava física na universidade de Glasgow, Irlanda. Com 19 anos, leu o livro de Joseph Fourier, Teoria Analítica do Calor , e, segundo gostava de contar, em uma quinzena aprendeu tudo que continha. Aliás, seu primeiro trabalho, publicado aos 20 anos, tinha como título Expansões de Fourier de funções em séries trigonométricas . Aos 21 anos, Thomson foi para Cambridge e, a partir de então, tornou-se um especialista em praticamente todos os campos da Física. Aos 24 anos, baseando-se nos estudos de Sadi Carnot, propôs uma escala absoluta de temperatura, que hoje leva seu nome. Na Eletricidade, Thomson deu importantes contribuições mas, sua crença na existência de um éter como suporte para os campos eletromagnéticos foi varrido para a lata de lixo pela teoria da relatividade de Einstein. Nada na vida de William Thomson, depois sagrado Lord Kelvin, foi rotineiro. O homem era um poço de superlativos. Quando acertava era grandioso; quando errava, errava estrondosamente. Se, por um lado, foi um dos criadores da Termodinâmica, por outro, recusou-se a aceitar a existência dos átomos, opôs-se à teoria da evolução de Darwin e considerava bobagem as experiências com a radioatividade. A seguir, vamos contar duas passagens da vida de William Thomson, Lord Kelvin. A primeira relata seu triunfo ao resolver os problemas com o primeiro cabo submarino entre a Inglaterra e a América. E a segunda trata de seu retumbante fracasso ao calcular a idade do Sol e da Terra. São histórias de um homem que não conseguia ser trivial.

UP TO ELECTROSTATICS GOOD STUFF NEW STUFF HELP "Kelvin's Thunderstorm" Lord Kelvin's water-drop electrostatic generator Bill Beaty, 1995 NOTE: avoid using wood to support metal parts! See " debugging " notes at the end. See FURTHER INFO Fig 1. WATER DROPLETS BEING ELECTRIFIED BY "INDUCTION" THE BASIC THEORY BUILDING A GENERATOR Fig. 2 TWO DROPLET-CHARGERS PLACED NEAR EACH OTHER (see below for wires) See Fig. 3 below. Wires connect the two sides together. The negative droplets touch the lower Collector can of the first side. The collector can is electrically connected to the upper negative Inducer of the second side. The negative Inducer will cause the second side to make some positive droplets. The positive droplets of the second side will touch the second lower collector can, and this will charge the upper Inducer can of the first side positively. (This makes the first side produce negative droplets.) The grounded drippers are connected to each other and to ground. See Fig. 3 below to see how the wires connect things together. SELF-STARTING But where does the first charge come from? In fact, if you build such a device, it will usually create voltage all by itself, spontaneously, without being pre-charged. During dry conditions everything near the generator ends up with a tiny electric charge just from being handled. If one of the upper cans is slightly negative, it will cause the water to have imbalanced positive, which will start up the other side of the generator, which will make the charge on the negative side become larger, etc., over and over. It's like balancing a penny on edge: it's hard to start out with a perfect balance, and usually it falls one way or the other. Same with this generator. If there's a tiny electrical imbalance at the start, the generator will amplify it over and over, and the voltage will "fall over" to either one polarity or the other. A high voltage will magically appear from nowhere. (But nobody knows which side will start out positive and which will be negative.)

I did not feel like swimming so I walked up to the Mitchell Library and the Glasgow Room, where I browsed through forgotten accounts of bygone days, local histories of the city and its environs before the age of the internal combustion engine. I wallowed in Hugh MacDonald’s Rambles, and lost myself in  T.C.F.  Brotchie’s Sylvan Scenes. I think my tastes are very catholic:  these memoirs of a disappeared past; the fantasy-land of the Beano and Dandy; and my monthly subscription to Physics World (I try to keep track of quarks despite a lay perspective).

William Thomson Kelvin was born on June 26, 1824 in Belfast Ireland. He attended Cambridge and Glasgow Universities. In 1846 he accepted a position as a professor at the University of Glasgow. Kelvin is remembered for his work in thermodynamics. He and James Joule investigated the relationship between mechanical energy and heat, their work resulted in the Joule-Thomson cooling effect. He also developed a temperature scale that is known as the Kelvin scale. Kelvin also investigated the oscillating nature of electrical discharges. He contributed to our understanding of the theory of elasticity, the electrodynamic properties of metals, and magnetism. Working with others, he estimated the age of the sun and computed the energy radiated from it. In terms of inventions, Kelvin assisted with the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cable, the mirror galvanometer, the tide predictor, a mariner's compass, a depth sounder, and the siphon recorder. His writings include Papers on Electricity and Magnetism (1872), Mathematical and Physical Papers (1882, 1883, 1890). For his work he was knighted in 1866, selected as President of the Royal Society, and received the Order of Merit (1902). Edmund Kelvin died on December 17, 1907. References Debus, A.G. (1968).
