dc.descriptionCrookes' Radiometer exploits thermal forces arising from temperature gradients in rarefied gases. This instrument has remained confined to educational physics because of the very small size of the radiometric effect and because of the necessity of an evacuated environment for operation. In this article the physics of this instrument is reviewed, different theories are compared and some general principles are derived. A method for enhancing the radiometric effect and for generating radiometric forces at higher pressures is proposed.
