Backspin Basketball Flies Off Dam 

Great Title!!

*Strange Applications of the Magnus Effect*

I was a little disappointed they didn't try it again, but with a stronger spin...

I would totally click on strange applications of the magnus effect.

So...if I jump off a dam doing backflips that makes me fly?

Me daring my friends to throw the ball as far as possible, then it's my turn:

everybody gangsta til the ball started gliding.

Another Mangus effect is that the opponents resign immediately when they see e4 Najdorf on board by Magnus.

The biggest misconception about the Magnus Effect is that it is just a consequence of Bernoulli's principle. It's not. This can be demonstrated by varying the surface roughness of the ball. Smooth balls can actually curve in the opposite direction due to the 'reverse Magnus effect' because flow over one side is laminar while the other is turbulent. This is a great reference on the shortcomings of Bernoulli's principle explanations: math.mit.edu/~bush/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Beautiful-Game-2013.pdf

The ball was a paid actor

*Imagine if we got a machine to spin it real fast*

I like how the effect of changing the name of this youtube video to a more clickbaity one drastically increased the number of views. This is something that people tend to look at. This is either being curious, wanting to watch something cool, or just being a fan of Veritasium.

Magnus effect = Roberto Carlos's free kick in 1998

so who had to go get the ball?

I feel less stupid after watching this video, thanks, I have learned something.

the magnus effect is huge in airsoft. As the bb comes out of the gun it hits a bit of rubber that puts backspin on it. The backspin allows the bb to accurately fly 100s of feet instead of 10s of feet.

Everyone talking about how the basketball moved away, but I'm over here thinking about the loud slap noise it made when hitting the water.

Incredible!

Phenomenal demonstration of this effect. Great video!

I unknowingly learned about this when playing baseball. If you're a Catcher, and someone hits a pop up straight into the air, we were told to step forward and turn around because the backspin of the ball would carry the ball into the field of play. It's interesting seeing it to this extent.

time for some knuckleballs.

I actually started screaming in excitement when the ball flew into the water. I think I picked the right subject to get my degree in! Physics is amazing!!

Veritasium: The basketball was subject to the Magnus Effect- VSauce: or is it? *Music plays*

Okay find a perfectly round person to do back flips on their way down.

All i wanted was to see the ball coming back to the person's hand.

Fun fact: RU-vid has recommended this after a long time of 5 years.

“It’s A Bird.” “It’s a Plane.” “It’s a...” *Boom*

I watched it when it was " Strange applications of the magnus effect"

Did you notice the sound being slower than the light or what we saw? That was pretty neat 0:31

*Do you know what happens when you throw a spinning basketball off a 415 ft. bridge?* It's probably not what you think! As a result of the Magnus Effect (which we've posted on before), the ball deflects in a very interesting way. Check out this awesome video from Veritasium! *QUESTION:* Which high landmark would you want to test the Magnus Force from? #Basketball #Physics #Science #MagnusForce #MagnusEffect #AwesomeVideo #Veritasium

so nobody's gonna talk about how the basketball skipped on the watter?

Even though I watched this at release, RU-vid is now recommending it all over again. Well done Derek, you've mastered the algorithm!

The "Magnus" effect is just Bernoulli's principle which is just an integral of Euler which is just a form of Newton's 2nd law. Veritasium Any chance of a video explaining the difference between a Galaxy, Star System, Solar System, Planetary System, ect. There is a LOT of confusion out there on that (especially in literature). I mean, a star system can be anything from a binary star to an entire galaxy.

why does this video have an abnormally high view count for veritasium?

Secret of Captain America's shield magically returning back to him.

Hehe kon yha Gaurav sir ki class k baad aaya😂😂😂btw osmm pheel❤❤

Breaking news! Dams across the world are suddenly expreriencing a sudden increase in tourism. However this also poses a problem to the nearby wildlife as tourists are throwing an accumaltive thousands of basketballs into the nearby areas. Many environmentalists hold youtuber Derek Muller accountable following a video explaining the Magnus effect by throwing 2 basketballs off a dam in Tasmania. Back to you Steve.

This is a *dam* good experiment. ...Get it? ^w^

Helicopters: They figured out our secret!

I seem to have this effect on women

Veritasium, someone stole your video and stole 15 mil views

Cricket fans be like "that's just reverse swing" 😂

I liked when the title of this video was "Strange applications of the magnus effect"

Is this what sonic the hedgehog used?

So I have one I was wondering if you'd like to puzzle through. In airsoft guns (a system much like paintball but shooting 6mm solid core balls instead) backspin is applied to the BBs to provide a longer flatter trajectory. (the magnus effect, obviously) The point of curiosity though is in the barrel. You see the backspin is applied at the very beginning of the barrel, the chamber end. There has been much speculation about what the BB actually does going down the barrel prior to its exit. What actually does happen? Well, surprisingly, experiments show the BB rides on the ceiling. Nobody has explained why this is though, and the results have become so controversial quite a number of physicists who've seen it have flat out denied the results of the experiments. So the question is why does this behavior occur? *edit* I feel I should make this a little bit more clear: the BB is driven down the barrel by air pressure from behind, and is not a gas-seal with the barrel. Because of this, while in the barrel, the BB could be seen as traveling in the opposite direction relative to the air in certain respects; the BB should hypothetically display "topspin" and the magnus effect would drive it downward toward the floor rather than ceiling. This is why our observations that it does not is so surprising. The experimental methodology used to determine the BB's behavior in the barrel was to coat the bore evenly with scribing fluid, fire a few hundred rounds through it, and then either scope the bore or cut it open. The wear patterns in the scribing fluid show the BB's location. Furthermore, particularly in soft brass barrels, longitudinal scratches in the bore can be observed from where the BB contacts. These are also found on the BB ceiling. They are also fairly long and even, suggesting that the BB truly is riding on the ceiling, rather than oscillating rapidly "bouncing" or anything like that.

I like the sound the ball made when it hit the water.

Very nice thumbnail redesign

Group of friends: let's throw the ball as far as we can The other friends: throws it over arm and it goes a decent distance. This guy:

Dont tell Miyazaki, else we gonna start getting airships that look like big soup cans in all our ghibli movies 😂😂😂

Imagine you are down there fixing the holes in the dam and get hit by a basketball

step 1 : jump step 2 : do backward flips step 3 : fly

FUN FACTS:- JASPRIT Bumrah's bowling style also related to Magnus effect

That's the coolest thing I've seen this week! Never knew there were planes and ships like that! Keep up the good work Veritasium!

_When will this be patched?_

New thumbnail brought me here

Airsoft players knows all about it!

0:31 is nobody gonna talk about that basketball that bounced on the water?

Heard of it before but now that you put it like that... awesome! Certainly got the wheels in my head turning. Wonder if I'll move forward as a result!

Here again after his latest video

what kind of sorcery is this

and this is why UFO's spin lol

Incorrect. The Magnus effect is finding a way to win a drawn endgame in chess.

"so you want us to go back in the water do you" As usual, it's Magnus' fault

I think this is one of the best physics tricks. Such a simple process creating such a beautifully dramatic result.

Anyone else get anxiety looking down the dam feeling like your legs are gonna turn to jelly?

Here after clickbait video

Anyone from clickbait video ?

GG sir's army here to study Magnus effect😂

Magnets effect 😒 AirDnamic effect 😎

2015: *No* 2016: *Nope* 2017: *Still no* 2018: *Not now* *2019* : Let's recommend...

Hi from the future. I guess you could say those Magus effect planes never took off.

This is why I spin as fast as I can when I'm walking down the street. It looks strange, but it uses way less energy. Science.

Anyone here after his video on clickbaits 😂

From GG sir plus class🔥🔥❤❤ Sir ur teaching style is superb❤❤😊 Love nd more blessing to vivan❤❤

Great👏👏 here bcoz of our best educator gaurav gupta sir😇😊☺loved it sir. Thank you so much for this video 😘🥰😍

2015 : yes 2016 : yes 2017 : yes 2018 : yes 2019 : yes 2020 : yes 2021 : yes 2022 : Let's recommend once again

Came here after the clickbait video

Am I the only one who was weirded out when the sound of the ball hitting the water seemed to coincide with the picture of it? At that distance, shouldn't there have been a significant delay before the sound was heard?

LEGITBAIT.

You guys won't believe it my physics teacher sent us the link to this video to explain a concept

dammit, did i really get clickbaited again

Thank you Gaurav sir for your recommendation. Concept ekdom crystal clear ho geya.

who else is here after his new video?

Dam, I had a ball watching this video. It really lifted me up.

I like the name of this effect ;)

Some good old fashioned Air Bending ;)

Came from clickbait video

throwback to when this video had a boring thumbnail and was titled "strange applications of the magnus effect"

“ go down and get it , It’s my turn “

Wow, the ball hit the water so hard it bounced off of it! That's also why you don't want to land from too high on water, as it becomes as hard as concrete if you hit it with enough force.

Strange applications of the Magnus effect Derek...

Who else came here back AGAIN after watching the clickbait video?

Who is here after the clickbait video :)))

Who else came here from the clickbait video?

All concepts clared... thanks GG sir for this recommendation.. ❤️😇

Bcoz of GG sir .😎 Ka beautiful explaination we Pheels physics in our daily life and makes physics easy for us ..❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank u sir ....btw kon kon GG sir ke bolne ke baad Aaya h ..😅😅 ..PHEEL ARMY ..🔥🔥🤞🤞

This is essentially the Jojo part 7 fighting style

I've seen so many of your videos come up after your thumbnail and title changes. I hope you and your team get all of the attraction to your channel that you all deserve! Congrats on the new team!
