The Bernoulli Paradox
Hold two pieces of paper close together and blow air between them. What happens?
The answer is so counterintuitive that it took humanity thousands of years to understand - and it explains how airplanes fly!
The Challenge: Predict the Outcome
Hold two sheets of paper about 5 cm apart and blow air between them. Most people expect the papers to be pushed apart by the air stream. But what actually happens?
When you blow between the papers, what happens?
Try it! Understanding fluid dynamics is essential for aerospace engineering, plumbing, medicine, and even sports (curve balls)!
