Abstract
I COMMUNICATED to the Royal Society-in November last, an account of some radiometers which I had made with the object of putting to experimental proof the “molecular pressure” theory of the repulsion resulting from radiation. Continuing these researches I have constructed other instruments, in which a movable fly is caused to rotate by the molecular pressure generated on fixed parts of the apparatus.
