La flamme suspendue

La flamme d'un bec de gaz ne traverse pas la grille métallique placée au-dessus ; mais si on allume le gaz au-dessus de la grille, la flamme semble flotter au-dessus de celle-ci, sans contact avec le bec ! Ce phénomène est une conséquence de la bonne conductivité thermique des métaux.

Actionner un moulin grâce à de la chaleur

Un petit moulin réalisé dans une feuille de carton ou de métal très léger se met à tourner dès qu'on allume les bougies placées sous ses pales. On montre ainsi que l'air chaud est plus léger que l'air froid, et s'élève grâce à la poussée d'Archimède créée par la différence des deux densités.

Température de Curie du fer

Cette expérience un peu délicate à réaliser montre que les propriétés ferromagnétiques du fer (le ferromagnétisme est la propriété pour un métal d'être attiré par le champ magnétique d'un aimant) disparaissent au-delà d'une certaine température appelée "température de Curie".
