EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Crookes Radiometer, an invention by Sir William Crookes in 1873. The mid-20th-century illustration beautifully captures the essence of this groundbreaking scientific apparatus. The radiometer consists of a glass bulb with several vanes inside, each vane having one dark side and one light side. These vanes are mounted on a spindle that is free to rotate within the bulb. When exposed to light or radiation, the vanes start rotating due to a fascinating phenomenon known as radiometric effect. Sir William Crookes, an English physicist, designed this artifact as part of his exploration into electromagnetism and radiation. His innovative idea revolutionized our understanding of these concepts and paved the way for further advancements in physics. This antique measurement device not only represents a significant milestone in scientific history but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. It reminds us of the tireless pursuit of knowledge that has shaped our world today. Displayed proudly among other artifacts in The Granger Collection's carousel collection, this radiometer print offers viewers a glimpse into the past while celebrating Sir William Crookes' remarkable contribution to science.
