Bernoulli’s Ball Machine

$7.00 - $10.00 per unit

Visual Demonstration of Airflow & Pressure
Bernoulli’s Ball allows students to see how moving air creates pressure differences by visibly lifting and stabilizing a lightweight ball in an air stream.
Fan-Powered Air Column
A vertical column with a built-in fan produces a steady upward flow of air, causing the ball to hover above the column when activated.
Explore Stability & Motion
Students observe how airflow can counteract gravity and discuss why the ball remains suspended, introducing core ideas about pressure, balance, and motion.
Immediate Cause-and-Effect Learning
Turning the fan on and off provides instant visual feedback, making abstract physics concepts tangible and easy to understand.
Classroom-Ready & Reusable
Designed for durability and repeated use, this kit works well for demonstrations, small-group investigations, and hands-on science stations.
Ideal for Introductory Physics Lessons
An engaging way to introduce airflow, pressure, and basic fluid dynamics through direct observation and discussion.

Description

Bernoulli’s Ball is a hands-on physics kit that helps students explore how moving air creates changes in pressure. The kit features a vertical column with a built-in fan powered by a battery pack. When the fan is activated, a steady stream of air lifts and stabilizes a lightweight ball, allowing it to hover visibly above the column.

As students observe the ball floating in the air stream, they encounter foundational concepts related to airflow, pressure, and stability. The activity encourages curiosity and discussion around why the ball stays suspended and how air movement can counteract gravity.

Designed for clear visual impact and repeated classroom use, Bernoulli’s Ball works well as a demonstration tool, a small-group investigation, or a hands-on station during physics or general science lessons. It provides an engaging way to introduce abstract principles through direct observation and experimentation.
