  • This is a demonstration used to show the principle of heat of compression.  This is the physical process that makes Diesel engines possible.   To work the demonstration, a small sample of cotton is placed in the chamber.  The plunger is then forced down and held in place with considerable force.  The air in the chamber is forced into a very small volume, thus heating the air above the flash temperature of the Cotton.  The same process take place in a Diesel engine, but the fuel is oil.  The Diesel engine is much more efficient that a gasoline engine. .

  • An electrical spark created when a sheet pf photographic film is placed between two high voltage electrodes. Initially, the film builds up a charge on the surface and acts like as a capacitor. At a certain potential voltage the film, which is a dielectric material, breaks down and allows electrons to flow. The flowing electrons superheat the air resulting in an electrical spark which is recorded in the film emulsion. These are often called Lichtenberg Figures after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.

  • A car spark plug firing.  The spark plug is the trigger that causes the gasoline to burn at a specific time in the cars internal combustion engine.  The spark plug fires and give the gas/air mixture the activation energy to start to burn.  This is a critical component in the thermodynamic cycle of an internal combustion engine.  A dirty or poorly adjusted spark plug will cause an engine to mis-fire, or fail to run.

  • An electrical spark created when a sheet pf photographic film is placed between two high voltage electrodes. Initially, the film builds up a charge on the surface and acts like as a capacitor. At a certain potential voltage the film, which is a dielectric material, breaks down and allows electrons to flow. The flowing electrons superheat the air resulting in an electrical spark which is recorded in the film emulsion. These are often called Lichtenberg Figures after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.

  • An SEM image of a reed from a woodwind instrument.  The reed is from Giant Grass (Arundo donax ), also called, wild cane or giant cane, native to  South Eastern France. Small slivers of the giant grass are shaped into thin wedges that vibrate when air is blown across the surface.  These musical reeds are  used by woodwind instruments such as saxophones and clarinets, and double reed wind instruments such as bassoons and oboes.  The reeds are also used in saxophones and clarinets,  The magnification of the image is x80 when printed 10 cm wide

  • Snowflake with a stellar (or dendritic) crystal form, made in a cloud when water freezes at negative fifteen degrees Celsius. When crystallization occurs slowly, in calm air and in temperatures near the freezing point, snowflakes will exhibit hexagonal symmetry.
