His experiments were illustrated and thoroughly described in his book ‘Experimental and Mathematical Physics’. This 1769 edition includes 66 impressive engravings showing the details of his experiments on hydraulics, mechanics, optics, and navigation!
According to the ‘Daumas Historical Science’,
“Underlying Musschenbroek’s lectures demonstrated with experiments was the experimental philosophy. the principal source of inspiration was Newton, but Galileo, Torricelli, Huygens, Réaumur, and others were important to this school.”
