The Magdeburg hemispheres, made of brass, are a fascinating scientific apparatus with a rich history. Let’s delve into their functions:

  1. Demonstrating Atmospheric Pressure:

    • The Magdeburg hemispheres were invented by German scientist and mayor of Magdeburg, Otto von Guericke, in 1654.
    • These hemispheres consist of a pair of large copper hemispheres with mating rims.
    • In a famous experiment, the rims were sealed with grease, and the air was pumped out from the space between the hemispheres.
    • The result? The sphere became a vacuum and could not be pulled apart even by teams of horses!
    • When the valve was opened, air rushed in, and the hemispheres were easily separated.
    • This experiment demonstrated the power of atmospheric pressure.
    • The force holding the hemispheres together was equal to the area bounded by the joint between them, multiplied by the difference in air pressure inside and outside.
