History and Philosophy of Physics 2021-07-27 v1

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.
