Friction generates heat

Experiment no.: 8.2.4
Reibung erzeugt Wärme New since 10/25
Shaken, not stirred! We do not shake martinis like James Bond, but we do shake marbles. And it gets pretty hot in the process. If you shake hard and long enough, the friction between the marbles generates heat, which leads to a measurable increase in temperature.
