The Incredible Hoop Glider!

You will require

A normal plastic drinking straw

3 X 5 inch list card or hardened paper

Tape

Scissors

What to do

Cut the file card or hardened paper into 3 separate pieces that measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) by 5 inches (13 cm.)

Take 2 of the bits of paper and tape them together into a loop as appeared. Make sure to cover the pieces about a large portion of an inch (1 cm) with the goal that they keep a decent round shape once taped.

Utilize the last segment of paper to make a littler loop, covering the edges somewhat like previously.

Tape the paper circles to the closures of the straw as demonstrated as follows. (see that the straw is arranged within the circles)

cap's it! Presently hold the straw in the center with the bands on top and toss it noticeable all around like how you may toss a dart calculated somewhat up. With some training you can get it to go more remote than many paper planes.

How can it work?

Can we truly call that a plane? It might look odd, however you will find it flies shockingly well. The two sizes of circles help to keep the straw adjusted as it flies. The enormous loop makes "drag" (or air opposition) which helps keep the straw level while the littler circle in at the front keeps your super hooper from killing course. Some have inquired as to why the plane does not turn over since the bands are heavier than the straw. Since objects of various weight by and large fall at a similar speed, the circle will keep its "upstanding" position. Tell us how far you had the option to get the circle lightweight flyer to fly. Let us know on the Science Bob Facebook Page.

MAKE IT AN EXPERIMENT

The venture above is a DEMONSTRATION. To make it a genuine trial, you can attempt to respond to these inquiries:

1. Does the situation of the circles on the straw influence its flight separation?

2. Does the length of straw influence the flight? (You can cut the straws or connect straws together to test this)

3. Accomplish more loops help the circle lightweight flyer to fly better?

4. Do the bands need to be arranged all together for the plane to fly well?
