ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
The Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, FL demonstrates this principle
by suspending two bowling balls side by side and blowing air through the
gap. The airflow causes them to come together slightly.
The McWane center in Birmingham, AL uses a set of metal hoops on a table.
Visitors make their ping pong balls jump through the hoops.
