      I don't think there would be much difference. If the spin is much stronger, air drag will slow it down. Magnus effect is created because of speed of ball falling through air and not just because of its spin speed.

    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.

    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.

  • @veritasium
    @veritasium  Před 8 lety +439

    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

    • @intoxopox
      @intoxopox Před 8 lety +1

      Seems to me you can reduce the Magnus effect conceptually to something of a fractal summation of Bernoulli principles for each surface and sub-surface you care about... depending on how precise you wanna get.

      ***** Speed of sound is ~340 m/s. Dam is 126.5 m high. Ball impacts roughly let's say 80 meters from base of dam.
      Using Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the microphone to the ball's impact point (c) would be the square root of a² + b² where a = 126.5 and b = 80. So c = 149.67 meters.
      Time for sound to travel ~150 meters would be around .44 seconds.
      If you watch and listen close, there is a lag time between visual impact and sound of around 1/2 second, as it should be.

  • @whatfor5
    @whatfor5 Před 8 lety +36

    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.

    • @01XxMafiosoxX10
      @01XxMafiosoxX10 Před 8 lety +2

      Whatfor5 Needs visibility. Also, due to the BB sticking to the top, microfluid concepts may be involved... I dont think you've covered that in Veritasium yet, and might be interesting.

    • @iota-09
      @iota-09 Před 8 lety

      Whatfor5 mmh... i'm not sure i get your question... didn't they aready explain what happened here?
      you must also remember that an object as small as a bb will have great effects with much less air used, thus, while it may seem like it "grind on the top of the barrel", there may still be some air between the top of the barrel and the bb.

    • @Xigzagamer
      @Xigzagamer Před 8 lety +1

      Whatfor5 intriguing I don't have an answer I could guess maybe it has to do with the force of the spin maybe a faster spin=more lift and for a small object its enough of a difference for it to go along the ceiling of the barrel that's just a guess a physics guess thanks for reading (game theory reference)

    • @whatfor5
      @whatfor5 Před 8 lety +1

      iota-09 When the BB is in the barrel, air is moving past it in the opposite direction than when it will be outside the barrel, so its relative spin would be topspin rather than backspin. This would suggest the BB should ride on the bottom of the barrel.
      Regarding grinding on the top of the barrel, it is actually that physical interaction between the BB and barrel which is how we've tested this. If the BB didn't contact the barrel at all, existing tests wouldn't have revealed it as riding on the top.

    • @iota-09
      @iota-09 Před 8 lety

      01XxMafiosoxX10 there's also to be considered the micro-errors happening in a bb, making a perfectly dpherical bb, or with at least an error of less than 0.009 milimiters on at last one point it's extremely hard, so that could also make for different results in a test, same goes for the barrel, it's quite hard to make a perfect "circle" with such a small hole on such long pieces of metal(a barrel gets made from something like a 10 meters long piece of metal).
