Bernoulli’s Theorem When air flows fast the pressure of the air is lowered
Bernoulli’s Theorem When air flows fast objects move towards the fast flowing air
Normal air pressure Normal air pressure Normal air pressure
Blow Fast air Low pressure Still air Normal pressure Still air Normal pressure
Fast air Low pressure Blow Still air Normal pressure
Fast air Low pressure Still air Normal pressure
Fast air Low pressure Blow Still air Normal pressure
Spinning Balls Air speeds up Air slows down
Spinning Balls Low pressure High pressure
Why do aircraft fly? • A look at a few web sites would suggest that the answer lies in an application of the • Bernoulli’s Theorem
Fast air Lower pressure Slow air Higher pressure
