No that is a heat engine. Temperature differences on either side cause

@bertietaylor a.k.a @ArindamBanerjee,

Actually we are the ghostly cyberdogs of Arindam. And his only friends in the physics world of liars and frauds.

You are confusing the action of the Crookes' radiometer with Nichols'
radiometer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

Crookes' radiometer is a heat engine that uses a light source as the
source of (radiant) heat, and a working substance, air.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichols_radiometer

Nichols' radiometer measures radiation pressure caused by light
momentum. The concept of photons are not required to explain this
momentum, Maxwell's wave theory is sufficient.

Thanks for the links. Yes wave theory is sufficient to explain so-called radiation pressure. As I explained the temperature difference caused by currents causing heat on the lighted side causes the motion. This does not mean that light has momentum. It is an aetheric disturbance causing fluctuations in the orbital paths of electrons thus causing potentials to drive the heat creating currents. The heated atoms push against the cooler atoms till that force reaches the last layer of atoms. Having nothing to push against they have to move. Thus there is motion from the impact of light.
