YESSS now I can see why we can jump in a train and not move but if u jump outside u do! I’ve wondered this abt flys flying in a car!!!! This is abt to educate me
Mark would’ve been the best teacher in the world if he was in high school or even college, but here he is teaching the world. Bro deserves everything and more
These are some of my favorite videos of yours. Regardless of how simple the science is, I remember when I was younger how much YouTube educators helped me understand science.
A fun demonstration in the same vein as these. If you put a helium balloon in a car with all of the windows closed tight, and then accelerate. The balloon travels towards the front of the car, because the air molecules get pushed to the back of the car, forcing the lighter helium balloon forwards relative to the car.
This is awesome. Corporate pilot and flight instructor, great explanations on aerodynamics and the changes in atmosphere. I guess the next question is “why is the wind direction different at higher altitudes than lower altitudes?” Might be a perfect introduction to weather theory.
Getting major Myhtbusters flashbacks with a couple parts of this video. Not a knock, more like reminiscing as I see the sync'd pendulum and the plane on the treadmill.
I have been watching Mark since I was 12. Now as an engineer myself when I am able to answer his questions before him I really felt I have grown up. Thanks Mark for contributing in developing my engineering brain
I was a hot air balloon crew chief for a number of years. In addition to the weather reports, we'll also send up our own small helium balloons (piballs) before and during the flight to get a real-time observation of the wind at different altitudes.
