I then endeavoured to show that it is more especially in the thorough conformity with law which natural phenomena and natural products exhibit, and in the comparative ease with which laws can be stated, that this difference exists. Hermann von Helmholtz
Natural Law Stated Thorough Ease Laws More Exhibit Exists Difference Which Conformity Natural Phenomena Then Show Products Comparative Phenomena
Iron which is brought near a spiral of copper wire, traversed by an electrical current, becomes magnetic, and then attracts other pieces of iron, or a suitably placed steel magnet. Hermann von Helmholtz
Other Spiral Brought Magnet Magnetic Steel Wire Pieces Attracts Becomes Iron Current Which Placed Then Electrical Near Copper
You all know how powerful and varied are the effects of which steam engines are capable; with them has really begun the great development of industry which has characterised our century before all others. Hermann von Helmholtz

A raised weight can produce work, but in doing so it must necessarily sink from its height, and, when it has fallen as deep as it can fall, its gravity remains as before, but it can no longer do work. Hermann von Helmholtz
Work Fall Before Must Remains Weight Longer Doing Fallen Sink Height Produce Deep Gravity Necessarily Raised
Heat can also be produced by the impact of imperfectly elastic bodies as well as by friction. This is the case, for instance, when we produce fire by striking flint against steel, or when an iron bar is worked for some time by powerful blows of the hammer. Hermann von Helmholtz
Time Fire Striking Impact Some Case Steel Imperfectly Instance Powerful Also Well Hammer Friction Iron Heat Blows Bar Against Elastic Produce Worked Produced Bodies Flint
