Book Overview

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 in 1760. The book is an investigation into the use of water and wind as sources of energy to power machines such as mills. Smeaton conducted a series of experiments to determine the natural powers of water and wind and their ability to generate a circular motion. He also examined the practical applications of these natural powers in the construction of mills and other machines. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of engineering and is still referenced today in the design and construction of power-generating machinery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
