🧠@scienceexplored This looping piece of paper flies the way it does because of a clever mix of shape, airflow, and balance. The figure-eight (∞) design creates two connected “wings” that constantly push air in different directions. Instead of moving straight, the airflow makes the paper roll and curve, which keeps it turning in a smooth, repeating loop. Small folds along the paper act like control surfaces, similar to flaps on an airplane, stabilizing the motion so it doesn’t tumble or crash. Gravity pulls it downward, while lift from the moving air keeps it in motion, creating the illusion of an endless flight. It’s a simple but elegant demonstration of aerodynamics: how shape, weight distribution, and air pressure work together to control movement through the air.

@leotique No, it needs a moving shielding object in the back to block the wind, so it requires energy ‘

@justforfun_instagrm Hey everyone! I got frustrated constantly switching between different websites just to do simple calculations — unit conversions, currency, scientific math — so I built CalcGlobe to solve that. 🌐 calcglobe.com What it has: - Scientific calculators - Unit converters (length, weight, temperature and more) - Live currency conversion - Clean, fast, mobile-friendly interface It's completely free, no sign-up needed. Would love honest feedback from this community — what calculators or tools would you want added? Always looking to improve it! 🙏
