Air and propulsion

This science show features experiments on the topics of air and air pressure. How much does air weigh? What is air pressure? And why does a balloon fly?

How do you weigh air? And how can you illustrate the huge forces of air pressure? Scientist Otto von Guericke presented fascinating experiments on this subject several hundred years ago in Germany. It was a field that would later provide essential insights into the size and behaviour of atoms. Exciting experiments ”from the air” are carried out during the show. With a little preparation, you can also perform them yourself!
