Joule's most important experiment, converting mechanical work to thermal
energy
The apparatus is a simple and accurate demonstration of how to turn
mechanical energy into heat. Using the rotation-counter and a falling mass it is
possible, using a thermometer, to calculate the mechanical effect of friction
and the increase in temperature of the calorimeter.
