[Phys-L] Did he make up for it? still is: Re: [Phys-l] air pressure question

[Bernard Cleyet <bernardcleyet@redshift.com>]

My quick read is:  either way (head on and perpendicularly to the relative wind outside the ‘bile’s window) will result in tone.

Head on the flowing air produces sound just as in blowing.  (mentioned as a method earlier in this conversation), while perpendicularly one has the pitot tube pressure difference.  Tho this may not result in a tone,  pieces of paper will be “picked up” when placed near the mouth of the tube’s end inside the ‘bile.  (also mentioned earlier in conversation)  


bc decluttering his “inbox”.
