Smoke from a fire driving a turbine in a chimney
Smoke-powered turbine. Engraving of smoke from a fire rising up and powering a turbine in a chimney. The thermal energy of the smoke is being converted into the rotational mechanical energy of the spinning turbine. The turbine is connected, through a series of cogs, to a spit which is turning a bird that is cooking beside the fire. The bird is being cooked beside the fire rather than over it so that any fat dripping off it can be collected and used to make candles. Image taken from a 1662 book

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing a remarkable display of ingenuity and resourcefulness. The engraving depicts an innovative smoke-powered turbine in action, harnessing the thermal energy of rising smoke from a fire within a chimney. As the smoke travels upwards, it drives the spinning turbine, converting its thermal energy into rotational mechanical energy. What makes this scene even more fascinating is how this technology is put to practical use. Connected through a series of cogs, the turbine powers a cooking spit beside the fire. A succulent bird slowly rotates on the spit as it cooks gently by its side. However, there's an ingenious reason for not placing it directly over the flames - any fat dripping off the bird can be collected and repurposed to make candles. This image offers us a glimpse into both historical cooking techniques and early advancements in harnessing alternative sources of energy. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were driven by curiosity and creativity to find innovative solutions for everyday challenges. As we admire this snapshot from history's scientific journey, we are reminded of how far we have come in our understanding and utilization of various forms of energy – yet also inspired by these pioneers who paved the way for future discoveries.
