notion. However, if one takes a closer look, then it gets evident that it was not just Joule who is responsi- ble for establishing his work, but also William Thomson, who later became Lord Kelvin. Yet, Joule himself did not start from scratch and par- ticularly referred to the work of Benjamin Thomp- son, Count Rumford, who carried out researches about heat in late 18 th / early 19 th century. Actually these researchers were more oriented on practical purposes than those of Joule. The first significant aim towards renewable energies can be seen in the work of the French teacher

Consequently, new cannons were needed, and consequently, Benjamin Thompson had to go to the workshop to make sure that the work was going efficient and that the quality of the weapons was as expected. When Thompson stood in the workshop, he immediately felt anger raise as most of the work- men stood around waiting. “What is going on?” he addressed one of the waiting workers (actually he said “Was ist hier [...] should work with a blunt drill whilst the other one was still sharpened.

Experiment [...] in the Joule’s simulation. 4. Calculate the quotient W/Q for the values of the mechanical work W and the heat Q in the Joule’s simulation. 5.

Locate, based on the papers were published by Joule, the prevailing scientific views about the heat. 7
