Euler Analysis of a Machine for Raising Waters Proposed by Mr. de Mour
Sylvio R. Bistafa
TL;DR
This paper revisits Euler's 1753 analysis of a water-raising device involving an inclined tube and a rotating axis, providing insights into its mechanics and efficiency.
Contribution
It offers a modern re-examination of Euler's original analysis of de Mour's water-raising machine, clarifying its principles and potential improvements.
Findings
Euler's analysis confirms the effectiveness of the inclined tube design.
The device's efficiency depends on the inclination angle and rotation speed.
Potential modifications could enhance water discharge rates.
Abstract
We revisited an analysis made by Euler in a memoir of 1753 'Sur une nouvelle maniere d'elever de l'eau propose par M. de Mour' (On a new method to raise water proposed by Mr. de Mour), addressing a type of water sprinkler, consisting of an inclined tube with its lower end immersed into water, and discharging water at its top by turning a vertical axis to which the inclined tube is attached.
