Vinturi’s Venturi Effect
April 13th, 2009
The Vinturi is a very recent application of the Venturi Effect which was discovered over three hundred years ago by the Italian physicist, Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746 – 1822). Not only did Venturi discover and work on quantifying the effect, he was also the first person to apply the effect to an invention. Not one to miss personal branding, these were eponomously called the Venturi pump and the Venturi tube.
