- Description:On May 27, 2026, in Shandong, China, @Jǐngūzōu shared an amusing video showing an apple appearing to “float” beneath a running stream of water from a faucet. In the video, an apple is placed under a steady stream of water and appears to hover and rise beneath the flow, staying suspended in place. This effect is mainly explained by the Bernoulli effect, where fast-moving water creates lower pressure compared to the surrounding still air and water. The flowing stream forms a low-pressure zone that helps keep the apple aligned under it instead of slipping away. At the same time, the water jet pushes downward on the apple, while surrounding pressure and flow balance it out. These forces create a stable position where the apple stays centered under the stream. So the apple isn’t actually floating—it’s held in place by the Bernoulli effect and fluid pressure balance created by the moving water.
