An Experimental Enquiry Concerning The Natural Powers Of Water And Wind To Turn Mills, And Other Machines, Depending On A Circular Motion (1760)

""An Experimental Enquiry Concerning The Natural Powers Of Water And Wind To Turn Mills, And Other Machines, Depending On A Circular Motion"" is a book written by John Smeaton and published in 1760. The book focuses on the use of water and wind as sources of power to turn mills and other machines that require circular motion. Smeaton, a renowned civil engineer and inventor, conducted numerous experiments to determine the effectiveness of using water and wind power to generate mechanical energy. The book presents his findings and conclusions, as well as detailed descriptions of the experimental apparatus used in his investigations. The work was groundbreaking in its time, as it provided valuable insights into the potential of renewable energy sources and their practical applications. The book is a significant contribution to the history of engineering and technology, and its insights continue to be relevant today as the world seeks sustainable energy solutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
