Solve : Attention Physicists?

Answer»

Ok I am BUILDING a project for my Physics class, and I would like some ideas. What I have is an insulated enclosed container, only about 1’x1’x1’. Inside the box, I am trying to produce as MUCH heat as possible, as efficiently as possible. I have a rotating wheel inside of the box, so I would like to use that to produce the heat. The wheel doesn’t have much power so it can’t do anything too extravagant. I was thinking about maybe setting it up to generate electricity which would produce heat. Any kind of friction would… Oh one last thing, I don’t want to use the sun or anything like that, but I’ll take anything to build off of, Thanks!





So what have you thought of so FAR?


Edit:I must disqualify myself.I thought you Said"Psychiatrist"haha! nice, ok to clarify. This needs to run for a long long long time... PUT a lot of phosphor in a match box. Quote

electrical heaters need alot of power to start producing heat i really would not recommend electric heating.Thanks for the helpful reply! I wasn't thinking so much electrical heating as generating the electricity itself.i failed physics. What can i see the TEACHER was hot............
