Through the experiments at home, we can teach our children certain concepts of science that otherwise seem boring.
Today we will do a very simple and practical experiment from home that will allow us to teach our children what is the Coanda Effect, so we will be very easy and fun.
But before starting the fun it is important that we know or remember a basic concept.
What is the Coanda Effect?
In 1910 the Romanian aeronautical engineer Henri Coanda (1886 - 1972) discovered that a fluid (gas or liquid) tends to follow the contour of the surface on which it impacts (provided that the curvature of the surface on which the fluid and the angle of incidence of the fluid are not very large).
Yes now! Let's go with the experiment!
Materials:
A spoon
A stream of water (can be in the sink, a sink or a hose
Procedures:
- In order to demonstrate the Coanda Effect, we place a spoon under a stream of water and we look at the water's path.
What happen?
The fluid tends to follow the outline of the surface where it strikes. (Coanda effect).

I never learned this in school. Now at the age of 56 I also know the Coanda effect.
Thank you for writing.
Thanks to you for visiting my blog! As long as we are alive, we will continue learning! Regards!
