This simple experiment visually illustrates Bernoulli’s principle, which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid (like air) results in a decrease in pressure.

The fast-moving air between the balls creates a low-pressure zone. The air on the outside of the balls is relatively still, creating higher pressure. The higher pressure pushes the balls inward toward the low-pressure area, demonstrating Bernoulli’s principle in action.
