  2. WATCH: A Bowling Ball And Feather Fall in World's Biggest Vacuum

    The facility is the world's largest vacuum chamber, measuring 30.5 metres by 37.2 metres, and has a volume of 22,653 cubic metres. When not in use, the chamber contains around 30 tonnes of air, but when it's turned on, all but around 2 grams of air are sucked out to create an artificial vacuum. Watch above to see what happens when a bowling ...

  3. Feathers and Bowling Balls Act Strangely in a Vacuum

    The feather-bowling ball duo doesn't fall at a slower rate because the feather is lighter than just the bowling ball alone — instead, they both fall at exactly the same rate. Similarly, if you pump all of the air out of a glass chamber to create a vacuum, you can drop both the feather and the bowling ball — no strings attached — and watch ...

  4. Watch: Definitive proof that a bowling ball and a feather fall at the

    The show's host, physicist Brian Cox, carried out the experiment in the world's largest vacuum chamber — a 12-story tall cylinder operated by NASA in Ohio to test spacecrafts.

  6. Watch A Bowling Ball And Feather Falling In A Vacuum

    With a volume of 22,653 cubic meters, it's the largest vacuum chamber in the world. In this hypnotizing clip from the BBC, Cox drops a bowling ball and a feather together, first in normal ...

  8. Watch a Feather and Bowling Ball Fall At the Same Speed

    Although the demonstration is certainly impressive here on Earth, let's not forget Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott's rendition of the famous experiment — from the moon. Both a falcon feather and a hammer fall at the same speed, but without the encumbrance of a massive vacuum chamber. Gravity: it has a certain pull on the human curiosity.

    Bowling Ball and Feather Face Off In World's Biggest Vacuum Chamber. We all know that, in theory, objects fall at the same rate. It does not matter if it's an elephant or a pebble (or in this case ...

  11. Strictest test yet of general relativity confirms feathers and bowling

    Strictest test yet of general relativity confirms feathers and bowling balls really do fall at the same rate

  12. Blockbuster physics, bowling balls and feathers in a vacuum, and more

    In the video above, Cox drops a bunch of feathers and a bowling ball in the world's biggest vacuum chamber - the Space Simulation Vacuum Chamber at NASA's Space Power Facility in Ohio, US. In the slow-motion video, you can see with exquisite clarity just how accurate Galileo's prediction was, as the feathers and ball land at precisely ...

  13. Brian Cox shows us how a bowling ball and feather can fall at the same

    Cox also carried out the experiment without the vacuum turned on to demonstrate how feathers will fall at a much slower rate because of air resistance. Human Universe is a five part series on BBC Two.

    Which will hit the ground first when you drop them together from the same height: a bowling ball, or a feather? Now suck out all the air in the room, and turn on a high-speed camera. Watch it here.

  15. The Hammer-Feather Drop in the world's biggest vacuum chamber

    In this excellent clip from the BBC's Human Universe: Episode 4, Professor Brian Cox visits NASA's Space Power Facility in Ohio, home of the world's biggest vacuum chamber, to test Galileo Galilei 's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment, circa 1589. " If you drop a brick and a feather at the same time the brick will probably hit the ...

  16. What happens when you drop a bowling ball and a feather side-by ...

    Professor Brian Cox uses the huge chamber to re-stage one of Galileo's experiments where a heavy object and a feather are dropped side by side - but this time, in a near-complete vacuum.

  17. Which is Quicker: Bowling Ball or a Feather!?

    What makes the feather fall slower is the opposing force of air resistance. There is more friction between the feather and the air than there is with the bowling ball. This makes it fall to the ground MUCH slower than a bowling ball. However, if you put these two objects in NASA's vacuum chamber which removes all the air from the room, the ...

  18. Watch a Bowling Ball and a Feather Fall in a Vacuum [Video]

    While the gravitational acceleration of a feather is the same as the gravitational acceleration of a bowling ball, the actual force exerted is proportional to their mass [ F= mass ( variable) x acceleration ( constant) ]. In the case of a feather, the force of the air resistance is significant when compared to the gravitational force - so it ...

  21. Gravity: No Way a Bowling Ball and a Feather Fall with the Same

    The bowling ball being more massive is going to pull back on the earth more than the tennis ball and thus accelerate faster (or would the tug slow it down in any way?). It won't be discernible to the human eye, but the bowling ball's fall at least won't be gravitationally the same as the tennis ball's. So, to whomever taught me objects ...
