Rumford, Benjamin Thompson (1753-1814) American-British physicist and scoundrel who, while drilling out cannons in the Munich munitions works, noticed that the canon became hot as long as the friction of boring continued.
Rumford was an opponent of the caloric theory of heat which held that heat is a fluid that could be neither created nor destroyed. He had further developed the view that all gases and liquids are absolute non-conductors of heat.

Rumford. It was Rumford who rumbled the caloric theory of heat. His famous experiment on the boring of cannon went straight to the Achilles’s heel of the caloric theory— the generation of heat from friction.
The Drill is a great British pub at the heart of the Romford community. With our warm welcome and family friendly atmosphere we offer the perfect place for catching up with friends, family celebrations or just a quiet coffee.
