Air Stream Ball Balance Demonstration
A simple cleaner adjustment creates an air stream from a pipe that can hold a lightweight ball or balloon in place. By placing the pipe upright and the ball in the stream, the ball remains centered as it shifts slightly to the side, due to Bernoulli principle where faster moving air lowers pressure. The same effect works with a water stream or a balloon in the air stream above the ball.
