		Guericke had joined two copper hemispheres of 51 cm diameter (Magdeburg hemispheres) and pumped the air out of the enclosure.
		Then he harnessed a team of eight horses to each hemisphere and showed that they were not able to separate the hemispheres.

	Magdeburg hemispheres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Magdeburg hemispheres were one of Otto von Guericke's most interesting experiments, designed to demonstrate the air pump he had invented.
		The demonstration was presented to the Reichstag and the Emperor Ferdinand III in 1654 in Regensburg, where 30 horses, in two teams of 15, could not separate the hemispheres until the vacuum was released.
		The original hemispheres are maintained by the Deutsches Museum in Munich.

		The city of Magdeburg obtained from them (13th cent.) a charter that was the model for hundreds of medieval town charters in Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and Poland.
		Under this Magdeburg Law a town governed itself through an elected council, had its own courts of justice, and was exempt from all duties except the payment of rent to the prince of the land.
		The city is the birthplace of Otto von Guericke (1602–86), the physicist and inventor of the Magdeburg hemispheres (which demonstrate air pressure); the composer G. Telemann (1681–1767); and Baron von Steuben (1730–94), the Prussian general who fought in the American Revolutionary War.

		The Magdeburg hemispheres were two bronze hemispheres made by Otto von Guericke in 1754, one of which had stopcock.
		After the rims of these had been placed together with a greased leather ring in between to form an airtight joint the air was pumped out and the stopcock closed.
		Before this was done the hemispheres could be pulled apart quite easily, since the pressure outside was balanced by an equal pressure inside.

		He held the two hemispheres together and, using his pump and a non-return valve, he created a vacuum inside the hollow thus formed.
		To demonstrate the strength of atmospheric pressure he harnessed several horses together and attempted to pull the hemispheres apart which, of course, could not be achieved until air was allowed to fill the vacuum.

		By placing the two hemispheres together and pumping the air out of them, the hemispheres were stuck firmly together.
		So firmly that in Magdeburg (hence the name!) Guericke was able to have a team of horses pull on each half, without the hemispheres separating.
		Consequently the Magdeburg hemispheres were an indispensable item in his theatre.

	Comments about Magdeburg Hemispheres Reenactment
		Briefly, the first three attempts to separate the hemispheres were not successful, but on the fourth try, the horses were able to separate the two halves of the chamber.
		As designers of the modern hemispheres, we were so acutely aware of the possibility of embarrassment despite the use of only three horses on each side that safety chains were provided to prevent injury to the horses or to their handlers in case the half-chambers flew through the air after separation.
		First, to be reasonably close to the original (20 in.), especially because of smaller number of horses used; second, because we wanted the hemispheres to be light enough for handling during the demonstrations.
