In this 1815 second edition of a 1795 work, Banks calculates the performance of millstones and waterwheels, showing the theoretical limits of their power. Publisher Description From the 1770s onwards, John Banks (1740–1805) lectured on natural philosophy across the north-west of England. Much of his work aimed to show engineers, mechanics and artisans how they could benefit from expanding their theoretical knowledge. First published in 1795, and reissued here in its 1815 second edition, this work shows how to calculate the power limits of waterwheels, millstones and other commercially important machines. In the authors words, a key aim is to avoid wasted effort in attempting what men of science know to be impossible. Starting with the mechanics of circular motion, he leads the reader step by step through a series of worked problems, showing the theorys practical applications. He then moves on to his experiments on the flow of water, and uses his results to better analyse the various types of waterwheel. Banks On the Power of Machines (1803) is also reissued in this series.
