Yellow Blower

Someone blowing through a pipe system making balls float
PIRA: 2C20.50

Materials: 3 (.8 in) styrofoam balls, Yellow Blower

The yellow blower is a representation of bernoulli's principle that there is lower pressure in moving air. This demo uses that principle to make the tiny balls continuously go around in a circle because they will get sucked to the lower pressure area and make their way around to the higher pressure area.
