244 ページ - ... set of laws which governs the motions of matter on the earth and in the most distant regions of the heavens ; to find the revolution of the apsides in a pendulum vibrating in ellipses, or the conservation of areas in a ball whirled round by a string suddenly shortened ; or (as in the present case) to perceive a celestial phenomenon, vast in its relations both to time and space, and complex in its conditions, identified, as to its mechanical cause, with the rotatory movement of a little apparatus...

This the lecturer found to be generally the case when the hot rocker rested upon a block, or on the edge of a thick plate of the same metal ; but the case was quite altered when a thin plate of metal was used. Thus, a copper rocker laid upon the edge of a penny-piece did not vibrate permanently ; but when the coin was beaten out by a hammer, so as to present a thin, sharp edge, constant vibrations were obtained. A silver rocker resting on the edge of a half-crown refused...

Schwartz, an inspector of one of the smelting works of Saxony, placed a cup-shaped mass of hot silver upon a cold anvil, and was surprised to find that musical tones proceeded from the mass.

173 ページ - Friday evening lecture by Professor Faraday, at the Royal Institution. Professor Faraday expanded and further established the explanation of the sounds given by Mr. Trevelyan and Sir John Leslie. He referred them to the tapping of the hot mass against the cold one underneath it, the taps being in many cases sufficiently quick to produce a high musical note. The alternate expansion and contraction of the cold mass at the points where the hot rocker descends upon it, he regarded as the sustaining power...
