Evidence for a configurational emf in a conducting medium

Abstract

There is a pressure drop associated with an increase in the flow rate of a moving fluid. The venturi meter and the aspirator are familiar devices which derive from this phenomenon. This paper concerns itself with the detection of an analogous effect in the electron gas in a metal.
