Leaf Blower + Beach Ball = Bernoulli's Principle

12th - Higher Ed
New ReviewA beach ball floating in mid-air, held up by nothing but a leaf blower. It looks like a magic trick — but it's actually Bernoulli's Principle at work. Faster-moving air has lower pressure, so the airstream creates a pressure difference...
