NEW, PLEASING, & IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Lyman Cook, OF " hiteStown, in the couu-
ty OF Oneida, has discovered mode by
which machine can be made that will gain
power and velocity. This machine is partly
composedot wheel, and partly OF curious
gearing, which is ingeniously contriyed and
applied. After this wheel is put into motion
by certain strength, any humber OF wheels
may be added yet that power which at first
turned the principal wheel, is sufficient to
keep the whole in motion. BY doubling the
gearing OF this machine, the power and ve-
locity will be doubled yet the power that
first moved the original wheel need not 10 be
augmented. This machine may properly be
termed an air engine for the first wheel
will forcibly draw much air, and rapidly dis
charge the same into other wheels, so that it
is not only an original. but becomes an aux
iliary wheel. To every wheel which is add
ed, may be given the appeliation of prin-
cipal and auxiliary engine for the second
engine receives air from the first and from
surrounding air the third receives air from
both, and from the universal and boundless
atmosphere, and discharges into the fourth
and so on.
