Abstract

We were joined by Dangerous Dan from Mad Science East in our Engineering Open House Day Live show 2021. How much pressure is in the air? Does air weigh anything? Would you believe there is an African elephant on your head? Well, Dan uncovered the facts about air and air pressure, while covering our studio in toilet roll with the help of a leaf blower?! Warning: Lots of fun, lots of toilet roll and you will want your mum and dad to get a leaf blower!
