The HeatForge cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Touch Conduction (contact-bound molecular transfer)
  2. Drift Convection (fluid circulation carrying heat)
  3. Glow Radiation (electromagnetic energy across empty space)
  4. Shift Phase change / latent heat (state transition without temperature change)
  5. Hush Insulation / thermal equilibrium (slowing transfer, reaching balance)
  6. Amass Heat quantity vs temperature — how-hot is not how-much; a lukewarm lake holds more total heat than a scalding cup
  7. Billow Convection — warmth makes things spread out and rise; heat needs room to move
  8. Rasp Friction heating — rub two things together and warmth appears; motion turns into heat
  9. Smooth Conduction toward equilibrium — heat always spreads toward even, and never un-spreads on its own
  10. Steep Heat capacity — some things soak up heat slowly and hold it long; water is a heat sponge
