How does a wing actually work?
This video begins by showing how Bernoulli’s law can explain wing lift. It then introduces ideas that cannot easily be explained using the law, for example, why can planes fly upside down? Why do flat winged planes fly?
Newton’s 3rd law is used to offer a different explanation, i.e., as long as air is...
How much information
This video discusses how data is coded and stored. It takes a look at the genetic code in humans and shows how it could be stored as 1.5Gb of data.
How special relativity makes magnets work
This video shows how electromagnetism can be explained using either models of magnetism or of electric fields, induced by length contraction caused by special relativity. Length contraction (Lorentz contraction) occurs to anything that is moving – relative to something moving...
Jetpack rocket science
This video takes a light-hearted look at motion. It applies Newton’s second and third laws to explain how motion occurs in the space shuttle and a jetpack. Misconception about reaction forces are identified (the need for the ground/lake for a reaction force to be generated) for motion to happen. This explains how...
