Bernoulli Levitator
published by the Exploratorium
Visit this Exploratorium activity to see a demonstration of Bernoulli's principle--an airstream is directed onto a card so that the card levitates.  The site provides a heavy-duty version of the same activity powered by a vacuum cleaner.  Also, you'll find out how atomizers like carburetors and airbrushes work and why train windows are sometimes sucked out of their frames.
