Energy from Chemistry through the Ages: A Demo Presentation
Dr. John Fortman, Wright State University
Man’s first and greatest chemical invention – fire – began a parade of uses of combustion reactions to produce heat, light, mechanical energy, and electricity, as well as to cook food, refine metals, and produce materials. Voltaic cells and batteries gave man other ways to use chemical reactions to produce other forms of energy and do work. Chemiluminescence now gives man a way to produce light without fire, heat, or electricity. Chemical demonstrations will be done which illustrate the principles and applications of fires and explosions, voltaic cells, and luminescence. Analogies will be made to the internal combustion engine. Short video clips may be shown of applications and bloopers.
