The first device supplies continuously energy with out receiving it. All experimental methods developed so far for the investigation of the law of equivalence of heat and mechanical work are only methods of conversion of mechanical work into heat and not heat into mechanical work. All these laws are based on human experience and although there is no formal proof for these laws, nothing contrary to these laws has been found so far and nothing contrary is expected. Basic concepts and applications are discussed in complete detail with attention to generality and logical consistency, removing ambiguities and limitations of traditional presentations.
