it had become clear to Joule that this could not be an economic useful re- placement for the steam engines in his factory. Yet, what puzzled him and made him uncom- fortable was the heat that was produced [...] to produce a larger friction in the water – meanwhile he could use weights of almost 25 kg altogether to move the mechanism, and the friction was so large that the weights went down very slowly, actu
