Now we are in the cold season of the year, I remember the pleasant sensations generated by a fireplace. Days ago talking about these feelings with a good friend and shared completely. The fireplace evokes in me feelings of warmth, companionship, almost hypnotic and tells someone.
remember the scenes of the fire, the smell of burning wood, the noise of the flames and cracking of the bark or cones. The talks, long, around. Make toast or cook the meat, everything felt the north wind whistled through the chimney. Or just being alone watching the swirls of smoke go up and the warmth of fireplace embers. Something magical must have the fire in the home that causes these feelings. Too bad, as Aeschylus said the fifth century before Christ "even being seated before the fire in your home, people can not escape his destiny."
simplify, what we do in the fireplace is released as heat energy stored in the timber. The fire does not cease to be an exothermic chemical reaction, ie, it releases heat.
components of wood are products of metabolism of plant cells with a handful of chemical bonds at the molecular level. In light the fire, what we do is provide enough energy for one of these links are broken. In doing so release energy that comes partly in the form of heat, but there will be some links that will also break the neighboring molecules.
This creates a chain reaction. The heat generated by the breakdown of molecules makes it more broken and so while keeping the flame will burn wood to stay (while remaining to break chemical bonds).
Plants capture solar energy and stored in its structure. Then take advantage of shaped wood, coal or oil. So we could say that in the fire there have a small fragment of the Sun. Maybe here comes the magic.
