Steve Mould explains the physics of Heron's fountain and why gas is less dense than air by building a 2D prototype using acrylic and wiring.
From the video
Answers: How does Heron's fountain work?
- Heron's fountain
- fluid dynamics
- gravitational potential energy
- hydrostatic pressure
What it concludes
- Heron's fountain works because gas is less dense than air, causing unequal pressure in the system until it reaches equilibrium.
