Solar Bird House

By

SolarbirdhousePresentation and discussion of the simply laws of Thermodynamics; Why heated air rises over cooler air?  Explore the Density of Substances and why air acts and weighs differently as the temperature changes.   Further discussions concerning air density in weather changes, hot air ballooning, the makeup of our atmospheric gases and anything else pertaining to the air we breathe.  Suggested additional ideas could be in those areas where air plays a role in movement like in a pneumatic cylinder. Simple experiments in the pressurization of air in a balloon or tire can be done and compared to  a universal  solvent or liquid they all know, water.  Bring out a thermodynamic principal used widely around the world called Thermo-siphoning.    Contributed by Richard Williams, Nevada.Documents: Moving_on_up_a_solar_heated_birdhouse.doc ; Thermodynamics.doc
