The Magnus Effect



I had never heard of the Magnus Effect before, but if it explains this weird flying basketball, clue me in! Derek Muller shows us how his buddies threw a basketball off the top of the Gordon Dam in Tasmania to see what would happen. A little backspin made all the difference. It turns out that you can do all kinds of things by harnessing the Magnus Effect. Cool! (via Viral Viral Videos)
