Electric Air-Suspension Ball
Electric Air-Suspension Ball
Explore Bernoulli’s Principle with the Air-Suspension Ball!
Discover the science behind flight with this hands-on project. The air blower reduces the air pressure around the ball, while the static air above maintains higher pressure. This difference in pressure causes the atmospheric pressure below to suspend the table tennis ball in mid-air. Bernoulli's principle explains how even a heavy steel airplane can fly—air moving over the wings creates lower pressure than the air beneath, providing the lift needed for flight.
