A batch of the best highlights from what Louis's read, .
Joule used very sensitive thermometers to measure the temperature of water being churned by an assembly of revolving vanes driven by descending weights: this arrangement made it possible to measure fairly accurately the mechanical energy invested in the churning process. In 1847 Joule’s painstaking experiments yielded a result that turned out be within less than one per cent of the actual value. The law of conservation of energy – that energy can be neither created nor destroyed – is now commonly known as the first law of thermodynamics.
