The Radiometer, also known as a light windmill, is an instructive physical object for demonstrating a theory, which was invented by the English physicist Sir William Crooke in 1873. This small physical and technical miracle shows in a simple way how the "smallest sun power plant in the world" converts light into energy. Depending on the power fo the light, a rotation of approximately 2,000 revolutions per minute can be reached by the radiometer.
