===== Description =====

Consists simply of the [[demonstrations:9_equipment:reverse_vacuum_cleaner:start|reversed vacuum cleaner]] and a lightweight plastic ball. 

===== Purpose =====

Demonstrates the Bernoulli Theorem by using a flow of air to levitate a ball.

===== Apparatus =====

  * [[demonstrations:9_equipment:reverse_vacuum_cleaner:start|Reversed vacuum cleaner]]
  * [[demonstrations:9_equipment:balls:start|Plastic Ball]]

===== Setup =====

  - Turn the vacuum on and drop the ball above the nozzle.
  - The ball will then remain suspended in air due to the Bernoulli effect.

===== Notes =====

A plastic cup attached to the side of the vacuum is used to hold a ball specifically for this demo. If it's missing, we should have more.
