Bernoulli
Levitator graphically demonstrates the Bernoulli
principle. A large wooden disk suspends itself in space
when placed close to a strong downward stream of air.
Basically, the air forced down on the disk moves faster
than the surrounding air, lowering the air pressure
on top of the disk and keeping it aloft. By pulling
on the disk itself, visitors can feel the force of the
pressure holding up the disk.
