T-M142 Air Suspension Levitation Ball DIY Learning Kit

T-M142 Air Suspension Levitation Ball DIY Learning Kit

The T-M142 Air Suspension Levitation Ball DIY Learning Kit is a hands-on educational project that demonstrates Bernoulli’s Principle, air pressure, and basic fluid dynamics. Students assemble a compact air-powered levitation system where a lightweight ball floats steadily in a stream of air produced by a small fan or blower motor. The kit is perfect for STEM learning, classroom demonstrations, and science fair projects.

How It Works – Bernoulli’s Principle and Air Pressure

When air moves quickly around the ball, it creates a lower pressure zone that keeps the ball suspended in the airflow. This simple experiment visualizes how air velocity and pressure interact to produce lift, introducing learners to core ideas used in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Key Features

• Demonstrates Bernoulli’s Principle: Visual lesson on how air speed and pressure create lift.
• STEM-Based Learning: Explains airflow, suspension stability, and fluid dynamics in an engaging way.
• Hands-On Physics Experiment: Visualizes aerodynamics and stability of suspended bodies.
• Simple Assembly: Pre-cut parts and snap-fit components require no soldering or special tools.
• Motorized Air Flow: Uses a DC fan or mini blower to lift and stabilize the ball.
• Safe Materials: Durable, lightweight, and non-toxic components suitable for classrooms.
