👉 In physics, a heatmaker is a device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. This can occur through various mechanisms such as conduction, radiation, or electrical heating. Heatmakers are typically used in processes where high temperatures are required for certain purposes, such as melting metals or converting thermal energy into work. They can be either passive or active, depending on the application and the type of heat produced. Active heatmakers use a combination of mechanical and electrical components to convert thermal energy into mechanical motion.
