So iron left to own devices in the atmosphere in the presence of a little bit of water, with the water form iron oxide.

What you've built is an engine. You cool, you heat, you heat, you cool, you get back to the same place, but you've just done work to the environment.

这就是热机，我们用燃料或者热源加热，然后把它，与大气接触让它冷却。

It expands. You change your constraints on your system, you heat it up some more, then you take the heat source away, and you put it back in contact with the atmosphere. And you cool it a little bit, change the constraints, cool it a little bit more, and heat, and you've got a closed cycle engine.

让它与大气接触冷却,改变约束，使它继续冷却，然后又再次加热,这就是循环热机，我们以前也研究过，更复杂的机器。
