In the eighteenth century, the Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli was
the first person to describe a special phenomenon of dynamic
fluids involving water or moving air.
The principle is the same Bernoulli noted that makes a plane
lift off the ground.
Bernoulli noticed that the faster the air moves, the lower the pressure exerted by the object that is flying.
The wing
a plane is curved at the top so that air about her having to travel faster than the air that moves below
her.
But as the air currents passing through the two parts of the wing must follow their respective directions, the same
time, the upper air must move faster.
When the air presses the bottom
wing with more force than the air above the wing, the plane takes off.
You can demonstrate this principle even blowing part
top strip of paper.
The Bernoulli principle inspired an unusual storage device, created by Iomega Corporation in the early
80.
He was different because he had the same capacity of hard drives at the time, but the disc could be removed,
just like a floppy disk.
The Bernoulli Box, as it is called, has unlimited capacity mass storage, and more
appropriate that the floppy disk drives.
Since then competitors have developed various types of removable hard drives.
But few devices beyond
Bernoulli Box offer protection against damage the drive head.
