How do you demonstrate Bernoulli's priciple with two ping-pong balls?
You can demonstrate Bernoulli's principle using a hair dryer and one or two Ping-Pong balls. Simply turn on the hair dryer and point it upwards. Then place the Ping-Pong ball in the air stream so it the upward force of the hair dryer balances the force of gravity. The ball will appear to levitate. This demonstrates the Bernoulli principle that fast moving fluids are at a lower pressure than slow moving fluids. Air from the hair dryer is at a lower pressure than the outside air. So a ball that is smaller than the air stream can be balanced in it.
Why does a ping pong ball restore its shape?
