experiments in which he had investigated the torsion of metal threads. For this purpose, he used a wooden stand with a crossbar into which a thin metal thread could be clamped. A lead cylinder (either 245g [...] the thread, with a pointer attached to its underside that hovered just above a scale resting on the wooden plate. The cylinder was twisted and released; it then performed rotational oscillations. Coulomb

This idea was a dead end. Maybe [...] this thought was correct? What if the air was able to exert a force that was big enough to break a wooden and a metal barrel? No man was able to do this, but… Otto continued to think: If it really was the
