PART III
Natural Philosophy Reaches Its Zenith
Science as a practical outworking of theology continued well into the 19th century. During this period, especially in the British empire, some of the most eminent scientists in history gained fundamental understanding of the workings of nature. Their scientific triumphs had incalculable effects on technology, industry and human health. Several of these men were not even scientists by training (Joule, Faraday) but stood head and shoulders above their contemporaries. Midway through the 19th century, Darwinism began its ascendency. The scientists we will highlight here, and a number of others not known to be Christians, resisted the new movement with its naturalistic ramifications. Charles Babbage : coming soon. Michael Faraday : coming soon. James Prescott Joule indestructible;

- William Thomson - Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)
Born in Belfast, Thomson came to Glasgow at the age of six after the death of his Scottish mother and when his father became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Glasgow . He was taught by his father (he never went to school) and entered University at the age of 10 (and is in the Guiness Book of Records for that feat). By the age of 22 he had been to Cambridge and Paris Universities and was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Glasgow University. He developed the science of thermodynamics, developed the second law of thermodynamics and formulated the "Kelvin" scale of absolute temperature. He invented the mirror galvanometer, a telegraph message receiver and supervised the laying of the first trans-Atlantic insulated electric telegraph cable which revolutionised world communications. He invented an electric strain gauge, an improved ship's compass, the Kelvin ampere balance and an electrostatic voltmeter amongst a host of other developments. Kelvin published 660 scientific papers, the first at age 16. But he was not just an academic scientist - he was a champion rower and founded the Glasgow University Music Society. He was knighted in 1866 for his contribution to telegraphy and created Baron Kelvin of Largs 1892. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Home Kelvin was born William Thomson and was the son of Glasgow University`s Professor of Mathematics. He entered the university at the age of ten and became the Professor of Natural Philosophy (i.e. Physics) at the age of twenty-two. His great talent was in combining theoretical and practical science and his achievements spanned many branches of the physical sciences. He proposed the Kelvin (Absolute) temperature scale, propounded the Second Law of Thermodynamics, was a consultant on the first submarine Atlantic telegraph cable and invented many types of electrical equipment. He patented over fifty inventions and published over six hundred scientific papers, making him one of the most important and prolific scientists of his day.

http://www.fisica.ufc.br/lordkelvin.htm
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.

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.)

Lord Kelvin
Kelvin was born William Thomson in Belfast in 1824. Son of a mathematics professor he was educated in Scotland at the University of Glasgow (entering when he was 10 years old) and Cambridge, where he graduated in 1845. He also spend a year working with Pierre and Marie Curie and Henri Bequerel in Paris. Thomson set-up the first dedicated Physics Laboratory in the United Kingdom at the University of Glasgow in 1846. For his impressive and wide ranging efforts to Science, including notable contributions to thermodynamics, electromagnetic theory, communication (first transatlantic cable link) and of course contact potentials, he was knighted in 1866 and received the title Baron Kelvin of Largs in 1892. 'Kelvin' was the name of a stream running through the University campus. The day after Kelvin formally retired from Glasgow University he enrolled as a student. Lord Kelvin died in 1907 and was appropriately buried next to Issac Newton in Westminster Abbey. He published 661 papers, took out 70 patents and had more initials after his name than any other man in the British Commonwealth! The picture below shows a statue of Lord Kelvin that was erected in Glasgow to commemorate his achievements. Kelvin was one of the most gifted scientists of his generation. He was by all accounts a talented orator and was sufficiently confident in his experimental methods to incorporate public demonstration of his methods. It is perhaps fitting to reproduce a sketch of his original experimental arrangement which incorporating large plates of Copper and Zinc (which have clean work functions of 4.6 and 4.7 eV respectively) mounted on insulating shafts. I am indebted to Ing. Kees van der Werf, of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, who is both a skilled scientist and artist, for the reproduction.

britischer Physiker
William Thomson wurde am 26. Juni 1824 in Belfast geboren. Nach dem Tode seiner Mutter 1830 übernahm Thomsons Vater, ein Mathematikprofessor seine Grundausbildung. Als dieser 1832 einen Ruf nach Glasgow erhielt immatrikulierte er seinen 11jährigen Sohn an der dortigen Universität. Thomson bewältigte das Mathematikstudium erfolgreich und machte sich insbesondere mit den Arbeiten von Laplace und mit Fouriers Werk über die Wärmeleitung bekannt. Im Jahr 1841 kam er nach Cambridge und studierte dort Naturwissenschaft. Nach einem einjährigem Aufenthalt 1845 in Paris erhielt er 1846 einen Ruf als Professor für theoretische Physik an die Universität Glasgow. Er experimentierte 1847 mit seinem Freund George Stokes im Bereich der Hydrodynamik. 1848 veröffentlichte Thomson die erste größere Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der Thermodynamik, in der er auf der Grundlage der Carnotschen Wärmetheorie eine absolute Skala für die Temperatur vorschlug. Die absolute Temperatur wird noch heute in Kelvin angegeben. Im Jahre 1851 wurde er in die Royal Society aufgenommen. 1853 fand er mit James Prescott Joule , dass die Temperatur eines Gases bei einer Ausdehnung gegen einen Widerstand ohne äußere Arbeitsleistung sinkt. Dieses Phänomen wird als

Please note: some people have reported to me difficulties in getting this device to work.
You need to have some good clean fresh water for this thing to work,
I tried normal rainwater stored in plastic tank here and it did not work either. I charged this water up using a vande graf generator and the dripper then worked as described although not well.
I think water from a reservour supply may not work as well as it sits in storage area and metal pipes and this subjected chorine and flouride and heat to keep it drinkable although nature lovers would consider this water dead.
I may be wrong but if you can get some pure clean mountain or running spring water you may be more successful.
if the water is chilled to 4 degree celsius this may also help as water seems to lose something when heated by the hot sun when out in the open
The best water it seem to be something stored in darkness and kept chilled if you are to believe followers of Viktor Schauberger
If you used poly pipe this stuff when it gets damp will conduct electricty away from the cans and I suggest you varnish all the plastic of it using a natural vanish not the petrol chemical version or use a better supporting material.

Hence, and because we all confidently believe that there are at present, and have been from time immemorial, many worlds of life besides our own, we must regard it as probable in the highest degree that there are countless seed-bearing meteoric stones moving about through space. If at the present instance no life existed upon this earth, one such stone falling upon it might, by what we blindly call natural causes, lead to its becoming covered with vegetation.

Sir WilliamThomson (Lord Kelvin)
Tides, 1882
Introductory Note Lord Kelvin's activities were remarkable for both profundity and range. A large number of his results are to be appreciated only by the highly skilled mathematician and physicist; but his speculations on the ultimate constitution of matter; his statement of the principle of the dissipation of energy, with its bearing upon the age of life on the earth; his calculations as to the age of the earth itself, and much more, are of great general interest. His fertility in practical invention was no less notable. He contrived a large number of instruments; his services to navigation and ocean telegraphy being especially valuable. Long before his death he was recognized as the most distinguished man of science of his time and country, and he was also the most loved. Part I Evening Lecture To The British Association At The Southampton Meeting Friday, August 25, 1882 One of the most interesting points of tidal theory is the determination of the currents by which the rise and fall is produced, and so far the sailor's idea of what is most noteworthy as to tidal motion is correct: because before there can be a rise and fall of the water anywhere it must come from some other place, and the water cannot pass from place to place without moving horizontally, or nearly horizontally, through a great distance. Thus the primary phenomenon of the tides is after all the tidal current; and it is the tidal currents that are referred to on charts where we have arrow-heads marked with the statement that we have "very little tide here," or that we have "strong tides" there.
