You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos, I;m doing energy in physics right now and this helped alot, especially the paper with burnt holes to show thermal energy.
@LFchinatown Glad you got some use out of it... students in class enjoy the demo, too. Many, many pieces of homework get turned in that week with little tiny holes in them...
"A source of energy that doesn't run out, well until the sun runs out, but that's gonna be in billions of years so we are not worried about that, At least.. I'm not, Ok? so..."
@r0b0tj0n3s Well, it is potential energy stored in chemical form. When you are getting the energy out of the candle, it is due to chemical processes. So it's "stored chemical energy", however you want to label that... The candle WILL burst into flames, but only if it's hot enough... since candle flame is fairly small, it doesn't melt the entire candle and cause it to burn all at once. If I introduced more oxygen to the candle, it might actually explode...
@OverTheTOPxX11 Right, the energy will leak out into the air (and/or whatever it's sitting on) until the ball is the same temperature as its surroundings... (The movement of atoms in the ball essentially gets transferred into movement of surrounding air molecules...)
@OverTheTOPxX11 The entire ball warms up just a little bit. When the energy is focused in the one spot it is quite hot, but just moments later it flows throughout the ball and the ball is only just slightly warmer. If I kept banging them together for a long time, they would be noticeably warmer.

Simply hilarious, thanks sciencetheater

I don't think that the chemicle energy is in the candle. If it was wouldn't the whole thing burst into flames?

Thanks! I missed your videos. Great explanation, as always.
Hope you're fine, may the mass * acceleration be with you.

But when the ball completely cools off, where did the energy go? Because it will not stay warm forever.

Oh ok. Thank you for explaining

Where does the kinetic energy stored as heat inside the ball go when it cools down? Is it just inside the ball or does it go away?

Great timing mate, I have my science class this afternoon and needed a short filler and we have just finished the energy topic. Love your work!

@Firesoar13 That's La Mantequilla by Rad Bromance, off their album N.O.I.S.E. I know the band and bought the rights to use it as my intro/outtro...

@Firesoar13 I didn't think you'd be stealing a song.
I'm a raver and wanted to know what to look for.

@Firesoar13 No, didn't think you meant I was stealing, just bragging about my friends... ;)
