Otto von Guericke carried out the Magdeburg hemisphere experiment in front of the Prince of Auerberg: by creating an artificial vacuum in a balloon attached to a rope held by 20 people, he opened a tap that activated a piston and easily lifted the participants off the ground. He demonstrated the powerful action of atmospheric pressure. 1654 Illustration from "Les Merveilles de la science ou description populaire des inventions modernes" written by Louis Figuier and published in 1867 by Furne, Jouvet et Cie.
