The wacky dudes in this video, decided that they could use bees to make a lap top computer levitate. Their idea emerged from their memory of watching insect facts on the discovery channel;
"Well we saw one that spoke about how pound for pound insects were stronger than humans and we decided to put it to the test. So we took some bees, a thinkpad and some glue outside..."
But how can this be real ?
Bees fly by forcing air downward from their wings. Every bee glued to the laptop (except a few around the edge) would be forcing air from their wings down against the laptop. This would cause an upward force on each bee, but a downward air pressure force on the laptop. Wouldn't it ?
