Can we please lower the pressure in here? Bernoulli Principle science experiment.

An illustration of the incorrect equal transit-time explanation of airfoil lift

Named after Daniel Bernoulli, the Bernoulli Principle states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, a decrease in pressure occurs. The mathematician Daniel discovered many new ideas regarding fluids and pressure. For instance, Bernoulli, who had earlier begun to study medicine, wanted to know about the relationship between the rate of blood flow and…
