  Is this to measure calories? We did something similar in elementary school, our teacher would light a piece of snack on hanging above an aluminium dish, and we would count for how long it burned. Then we looked at the packaging and the snacks with more calories burned the longest.

    If I recall my undergrad thermodynamics class correctly, you can calculate the calories in food by burning, but in an experiment like this too much of the heat would escape to the surroundings to be usefully measured. Usually they use something like a bomb calorimeter to make sure all the heat is captured and measured.

  Related: a guy in Poland posted online about buying supermarket donuts to use as fuel in a wood-burning stove. The donuts turned out an order of magnitude cheaper than firewood.

    I wish donuts were that cheap near me. The dollars to donuts phrase has been backward for like at least 10 years in my area.

    Dude who downvoted you: How dare you be relevant, insightful, and correct.

    That suggests you could mix flour and vegetable oil and maybe dry it into bricks which might be cheaper than donuts usual are. I wonder how dirty that burns…

      Maybe the frying is the special sauce in making them more flammable? Fry donuts with a donut-fueled stove to get more donuts for fuel.

      catgirl-salute I had a brief moment of regret after posting because I realized I could have collected downvotes if I had switched to an account that would federate with .world

      Yeah you need a more eye-catching title, like
      “I accidentally made a calorimeter?? Gone wrong - GONE SEXUAL”
      Now that’s a paper any journal would be itching to publish

  Are nutritional/digested calories actual equal to their combustion energy?

  source

  • YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s within a percent.

    • exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The main substance that burns but doesn’t necessarily get metabolized is dietary fiber, which is a category of some different polysaccharides that burn but don’t get (fully) digested.

      So high fiber foods would tend to give incorrect results in bomb calorimetry.

  I always wondered with this experiment why burning the food gives an accurate measure of calories? Obviously our digestion doesn’t literally burn the food, so how are the two processes analogous?

  source

  • YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You do oxidize food in your gut. Maybe not as completely as burning it. But in a proper bomb calometer, it is sealed if that helps it make more sense.

      Thanks for that. I guess in my head I feel there must be so much more to it. I need to read into it all
