Contrary to popular belief, it's not radiation pressure from light because that's far too weak. We need to think about pressure gradients and air vortices in fluid dynamics. ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Why Doesn't Light Have Mass? https://youtu.be/ueuwWiR-Dw4 What the HECK is Light?! http://youtu.be/m2-UJAEJzcc Can Magnets Do Work? https://youtu.be/1bXjB0zrjp0 ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS Applied Science on the Radiometer: https://youtu.be/r7NEI_C9Yh0 ________________________________ HUGE THANK YOU TO THESE PATRONS ** Clint Cloys, Rick Finn, Nikko Lai, Evgeny, Preston From, Christian McCracken ** ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/ScienceAsylum Advanced Theoretical Physics (eBook): https://gumroad.com/l/ubSc Merchandise: https://www.scienceasylum.com ________________________________ OTHER SOURCES http://aapt.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1119/1.2351301 https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-fluid-mechanics/article/origins-of-radiometric-forces-on-a-circular-vane-with-a-temperature-gradient/B95304FFAE3E0B18D002CF58C00E9FAF https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.05008 http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA471084 http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1478-7814/32/1/324 http://www.jstor.org/stable/27757296?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents ________________________________ LINKS TO COMMENTS Magnets Lose Energy - Rodney Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bXjB0zrjp0&lc=z13uz3ryvo2qvlero04cj5ugzljsen4433c ________________________________ IMAGE CREDITS Solar Sail: https://www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/nanosail_chat.html Historical Figures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sir_William_Crookes_1906.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_Clerk_Maxwell_big.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OsborneReynolds.jpg
