I won’t go on too much about the Adopt-A-Pilot program for fifth-grade classes or even the event that this week’s episode of Red Belly Radio covers...I’ll let blogger Casey Welch explain all that. What I will talk about is Daniel Bernoulli. The Bernoulli Principle is more than fun to say, it is part of the physics that keep our planes aloft. (Err, that’s all planes not just ours). I am considering an entire episode about this, but since Captain Stone mentions it in my interview with him and since I said that I was going to add some links, I thought I’d follow through with my promise and provide those here: This is a nice explanation from Discovery Channel on YouTube.com
And for those of you who want to kick it old school or want to see what an enthusiastic TV physics professor of the early 1960 can bring, check out Julius Sumner Miller on YouTube.com
