Von Guericke's demonstration of the strength of air pressure, 1672.

Von Guericke's demonstration of the strength of air pressure, 1672. In the mid 17th century Otto von Guericke used an air-pump to remove the air from between two large close-fitting copper hemispheres, known as Magdeburg hemispheres. The effect of the air pressure on the two hemispheres was such that two teams of 8 horses could not separate them. Once the air was let back into the enclosure, however, the hemispheres were parted easily. From Experimenta Nova by Otto von Guericke. (Amsterdam, 1672).
