A rubber or latex membrane would be placed over the open end of a resonator the vibrations were transferred through a tube to a similar membrane in the gas supply tube feeding a gas flame. This would make the flame vibrate and these vibrations could be observed in the rapidly rotating four sided mirror. The revolving mirror method of determining the velocity of any phenomenon was invented by Charles Wheatstone in order to determine the velocity of a spark of electricity. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
