James Prescott Joule's Thermodynamic Generator

Origin
James Prescott Joule made studies into the laws behind heat, energy and mechanical work. Eventually discovering the relation between the two, he helped discover the first law of thermodynamics, the law of conservation of energy. It states the total energy in a system is converted into different types but the total amount always remains constant, never changing. The SI derived unit of energy, the joule, is named after him.

Effects
The experimental apparatus Joule himself made to test his budding theories on the law of thermodynamics. Turning the crank allows the user to generate heat into the surrounding area, but causes the activator’s body to crack and heat up, changing their bodily chemistry. Without deactivation, the user can burn apart into scraps. If used along with Galvani's Wires, it can generate enough external heat to keep a person's body alive, even if heavily injured.
