A NEW SOURCE OF HEAT
It is well known that the radio-active elements produce heat in the course of their radio-activity, and it has now been discovered that when the element titanium is subjected to a heat of 1700 degrees centigrade, its atoms begin to break up and give forth great heat. The etergy of the heat so produced is much greater than the electric energy employed, and a German engineer has patented a method of utilising the heat. It remains to be seen if it can be used for practical purposes.
