Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The conservation of the total energy of closed systems belongs to the most general laws of nature. This chapter treats first the common way to the mechanical one starting with Newton’s equation of motion. Then, the possibility to use the energy law as foundation of classical mechanics is explored, notably, Planck’s axioms, Euler’s second equation of stationary-state change, Carlson’s principle of the stationarity of total energy, and Leibniz’s theorem on the conservation of kinetic energy and its dual on the conservation of potential energy. The chapter concludes with considerations about the relationship between energy and extension in configuration space as known from the harmonic oscillator and the Kepler ellipses, and analogous considerations in momentum configuration space.
