Radiometer Info - The Radiometer - The sphere powered by the sun. Is ita lesson in thermodynamics or is it a verycoolsciencetoy?Well it's both! This solar powered engine was patented in 1878! The radiometer has4flags(two black and two silver)and when the sun, or even incandescent light or a laser, hits the vanes, the mill starts spinning inside the glass bulb and reaches speeds of up to 3000 RPM! Amazing to watch and enlightening to learn all about solar energyconverting into mechanical energy. Harness the power of the sun. What you'll get: Solar Radiometer. Educational Information Included. Incredible Science Fun Learning Ideas: Alesson in thermodynamics as well as solar energy and mechanical energy. Learn how light, heat and air pressure are related. Learn all about the radiometer and its other names and the science behind it. Crookes Radiometer, aka the Light Mill.The radiometer was invented in 1873 by the chemist Sir WillamsCrooke and the way it works has been the subject of debate for many years by famous people such as Albert Einstein and Osborne Reynolds. This solar powered engine was patented in 1878. Basically, it can be partially reasoned that the reason the vanes spin is becausewhen the gas molecules hit the warmer side of the vane it picks up some heat and bounces off the vane with greater speed, and using this extra boost, the vanes spin around because of the extra pressure that was put on one side of the vane.
Fond memories . I had one of these when I was little. It's still as amazing as it was then. I just have to hide it from the cat (she likes to lie in the sun, too).
