Thaddeus Sobieski Constantine Lowe (August 20, 1831 - January 16, 1913), also known as Professor T. S. C. Lowe, was an American Civil War aeronaut, scientist and inventor. Lowe lived a life that was full of claims to fame. Despite being born of poor pioneer farming stock, Lowe showed an interest in meteorology with his intent study of the winds and cloud movements. He particularly recognized the strong easterly, high altitude wind which gave him a notion of flying in it. As an older teenager Lowe became fascinated with the properties of lighter-than-air gases, in particular, hydrogen. By age 21 he took up aviation, which at the time was piloting balloons. Between his chemistry lecturing and giving balloon rides he was able to put enough money together for a formal education thus furthering his studies in chemistry, meteorology, and aviation. By the late 1850s he was well known for his advanced theories in the meteorological sciences as well as his balloon building. Among his aspirations were plans for a transatlantic flight.

Lowe's scientific endeavors were cut short by the onset of the American Civil War. He recognized his patriotic duty in offering his services as an aeronaut for the purposes of performing aerial reconnaissance on the Confederate troops on behalf of the Union Army. In July 1861 Lowe was appointed Chief Aeronaut of the Union Army Balloon Corps by President Abraham Lincoln. Though his work was generally successful, it was not fully appreciated by all members of the military, and disputes over his operations and pay scale forced him to resign in 1863. Lowe returned to the private sector and continued his scientific exploration of hydrogen gas manufacturing. He invented the water gas process by which large amounts of hydrogen gas could be produced from steam and charcoal. His inventions and patents on this process and ice making machines made him a millionaire.

In 1887 he moved to Los Angeles, California, and eventually built a 24,000 sq. ft. (2,230 m2) home in Pasadena. He opened several ice making plants and founded Citizen's Bank of Los Angeles. Lowe was introduced to David J. Macpherson, a civil engineer, who had drawn up plans for a scenic mountain railroad. In 1891 they incorporated the Pasadena & Mount Wilson Railroad Co. and began the construction of what would become the Mount Lowe Railway into the hills above Altadena. The railway opened on July 4, 1893 and was met with quick interest and success. Lowe continued construction toward Oak Mountain, renamed Mount Lowe, at an exhaustive rate, both physically and financially. By 1899 Lowe had gone into receivership and eventually lost the railway to Jared S. Torrance. Lowe's fortunes had been all but lost, and he lived out his remaining days at his daughter's home in Pasadena where he died at age 81.

How to Light Charcoal


Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Charcoal Grill
  • Charcoal
  • Chimney Starter
  • Newspaper
  • Matches
  • Lighter Fluid (optional)
Step1
Name-brand charcoal. Name-brand charcoal. Buy name-brand charcoal. I’ve had non-name-brand charcoal not light at all and this is not good when you’re throwing a party for people. I currently use a mix of Kingsford brand and Cowboy brand Hardwood Charcoal. Self-lighting charcoal as well as the “burn the bag” charcoal is very easy to use, but may impart a hint of bad taste on what you are grilling. Having pieces of burning bag float around you may not be desirable either.
Step2
A chimney starter showing smoke rising from lit newspaper at the base. A chimney starter showing smoke rising from lit newspaper at the base. Get a chimney starter and place one to two sheets of newspaper underneath the base and fill the starter with charcoal. Light the newspaper. If a chimney starter is unavailable, pile the charcoal in a rough pyramid shape and squirt a liberal coating of lighter fluid and light. If using lighter fluid, again, buy name-brand lighter fluid, not Joe’s backyard lighter fluid. And again, the lighter fluid has a slight chance of imparting a hint of bad taste on what you are grilling. At first, there will be smoke, but this should go away.
Step3
Charcoal is lit, no smoke is coming off of it, and the charcoals have turned a light gray. Charcoal is lit, no smoke is coming off of it, and the charcoals have turned a light gray. Wait until the charcoal has a light gray coloring. At this point no smoke should be coming from the charcoal. Distribute the charcoal in an even manner in your grill. If it’s well lit and you’re using tongs to distribute the charcoal around and not using a glove, you will feel significant heat from the charcoal and stand a chance of getting burned.
Step4
Store your remaining charcoal in its original bag in a dry place. Charcoal that has taken on moisture from the air may not light, take longer to light, or have problems staying lit.
