Greetings! This might seem common, but you can get a simple exothermic reaction when mixing standard 2-part epoxy materials together. It is only exothermic once you rub the materials together (it isn't exothermic if they touch one another), it's in paste form, and it will generate heat even in the presence of water. This does, however, depend on what kind of epoxy you obtain. ONe such epoxy is Devcon's 5-minute 2 part epoxy. You can find information here: http://www.devcon.com/devconfamilyproduct.cfm?familyid=331 Any other 2-part expoxies will do, however. I hope this helps - and at least you can create this demonstration with materials you can find at the store. - |

Epoxy is not what I had in mind. It will not work. I have to mix this in the product & it will be mixed,so it would have already mixed together and will gell. So it will not be able to rub at later time. |

A rather easy way to get a paste that will display exothermic reactions with friction is to mix 10 parts calcium cloride(CaCl2) with 1 part water. The calcium cloride is an active ingredient in many ice melting salts. You can obtain the Calcium Chloride in a 98% pure salt form at www.hach.com. The exothermic reaction is what makes it so useful as a de-icer. The friction of the cars driving over the salt generates heat which in turn melts the ice. Hope this is helpfull to you! |

Many super saturated solutions can be caused to crystallise by vibration or friction on a suitable surface. The obvious one is sodium thiosulphate which can be disolved in water to produce a super saturated solution at high temp. You then cool it and it remains a liquid. Suitable vibration or friction will cause the solution to crystalise giving off the latent heat of crystallisation. This is typically used in hand warming devices for walkers and ramblers. They normally include a metal button that acts as the crystallisation initiator. Hope this helps. By the way many other resin systems will also produce heat when they crosslink i.e. like epoxy. |
