  • Yep, can see the fishing line or string cross his rear thumb as he lowers the plane at 00:34-00:35. Hard to see on the small vid, but make it full screen and it's obvious. Thought this was supposed to be science, not cheap 'magic' tricks.

  • @MrDarkJester If you check out the Hovering Plane Reveal video, we show you how we did this. Thanks for watching the videos and make sure to visit TheSpanglerEffect channel and see our new show.

  • @SteveSpanglerScience most epic comeback ever....got him logically...

  • @MrDarkJester you're just mad cause you couldn't do it

  • @MrDarkJester It was an April ffools joke. If you watch the reveal it was made on April 1st.

  • awww dam I really didn't want it to be be fake but the strings are kind of obvious.

  • at 0:35, you can see a fishing line as the person's left ring finger knuckle goes down to put the plane on the fishing line

  • watch the other vid exactly the same as this one IT IS FAKE THERE ARE FISHING LINES BETWEEN THE FANS HOLDING UP THE PLANE

  • i guess it happens cuz 1 fan is blowing forward and the other 1 is going opposite so it has no choise to stay put because the 2 winds are putting it in hold

  • :OOOO THATS AWESOME

  • People actually believed this to be fake?? Wow... The internet really is making the average IQ fall.

  • @TheVJackV Maybe you should check your eyes...

  • It's easy,the wind is going on opposite direction, I can't tell the rest don't know how to explained it

  • @florawinxhani Well... considering there was a piece of fishing line between the two...

  • Iron hobo is really good at spelling piece if nobody noticed

  • What do u think string or real lol

  • @Lockheedman13 string... why would you even doubt it its not that hard to do all it is is the two fans are blowing out wind at the same speed, which in a way means there cancelling each other out

  • wow pretty cool

  • look like the plane is having some turbulence

  • You need the two fans to be stronger,.. and be pointing both slightly upwards,.. it would work better with a loop of paper rather than a plane..

  • People actually believed this to be true?? Wow... The internet really is making the average IQ fall.

  • differing air currents steve.

  • This is actually possible but you will need more fans to do it without the hidden string :)

  • fishing line

    

  • I think the warm air rises at the same rate and holds the plane steady.

  • @gallops3 lol

  • wow if only i hade 2 realy big fans and a big pice of paper

  • fake

    

  • Or they used fishing line... you can see it at 0:35

  • WITCHCRAFT! BURN THE WITCH!

  • DOES UR MOMMY & DADDY KNOW UR DOING THIS?

  • Why would you need safety glasses for this?

    Afraid of the plane flying into your eye?

  • If you were to draw a vector model of this, you would see that the plane is in equilibrium of the two forces from the fans.

  • Unless you have taken physics, you would know that this a small scale model representing two opposite force vectors intersecting with the plane at dead center, and due to the paper's mass, it's light enough below the wind speed of the two fans. Thus, it hovers. Why don't you guys listen to your science classes and believe that things like the moon landing are real? It's just advanced science. LEARN IT.

  • @pigeonbass11 hate to break it to you, but he this was posted on april fools day, and in his next video he said it was impossible...

  • Switch to 1080p, full screen and look closely between 0:33 and 0:35, you'll notice the fishing rod line near the bottom part of his hand!! (Back hand - Left hand)

  • @llDarkAgell your seeing things

  • its funny to see how people think this is fake or an april fools joke, but its not, it is possible, like he said, u need PATIENCE, it took me 6 tries in order to make it right, its not fake at all, i bet the people who say its fake, ether never bother to try this, or gave up to easily/early

  • The Bernoulli principle is responsible for this.

    The air from the fan the plane is facing is keeping the plane up and pushing it back while the air from the fan behind the plane is pushing the plane forward which stops it from moving at all.

  • @mynameismatt2010 you know this is fake right?

  • @jocke811 It's not. You know that, right?

  • @UraeusAnkhAmon It is,you know that,right?

  • @UraeusAnkhAmon It is. You know that, right?

  • I know how it happen because the to fans are pushing wind back and forth and by the way I am only 10 and i am really good at science

  • I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT WITH SMOKE FROM EACH SIDE TO SEE THE WIND

  • this is fake for anyone who wastes their money going out to buy two identical fans.

  • I love this April Fool :)

  • fake but ok

  • you put the thing on strings!!! cheater! :(

  • UFO

  • @LuciferDaFallenAngel Unknown Flying Object

    It is a paper airplane so we know what it is,therefor it is not a UFO :)

  • @samcai8 Unidentified, not unknown.

  • can we put any paper thing to float

  • this isbecause there is a gap in where the air dont flow 

  • @luckviewer777 lol and how is the plane flying without any air exterting any force? by magic? ...

  • Sure these things are mildly entertaining to watch, but they're hardly "sick".

  • How do you make an airplane? c;

  • Theres to fans and both are blowing air

  • @VallooFamily such a stupid an obviously wrong answer..

  • @Shorigun its impossible it's a hoax, april fool. They have fishing wire between the fans

  • It's called fishing line, there's a video on it...

  • The fans on both sides spin at the same rpm so they keep the aircraft from going back or forth.

  • @ahilan914 no, its an april fools joke. they used fishing line and admitted it in another video.

  • @ahilan914 lol ur wrong its fake

    

  • LOW CALL COWBELL !

  • cool!

  • @anita2131 you spent money on two fans just to try this experiment!?!?

  • FAKE!!!!!!!!!

  • How this works - The Fan on the right blows the wings up and the fam on the left blows them down, keeping the plane centered at the same time

  • @rlstinefan1 dude its fake lol

  • @matthewrulez1 It's not fake. It's science! 

  • @matthewrulez1 you obviously don't know how it works idiot. Learn physics please.

  • @Shorigun it's fake he even posted a video of the reveal -->

  • needs more cowbell

    

  • @MorsCertaMoraIncerta sad part is the people given u thumbs up probably never saw that SNL episode

  • ll or fake?

  • Is this rea

  • @nathan5647 ur lying

  • FAKE FAKE FAKE IT'S A PRANK 4 APRIL FOOLS DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE FANS plz vote this up so money doesn't go to waste

  • you can see tape in the center of the fan at 0:34

  • How is this sick science?!

  • @videoman5747 sick as in cool

  • It's obviously fake.

  • This is awesome

  • My Grandpa taught me how to make paper planes like that one when I was little. Stuck with me ever since.

  • Finally!!!!! Someone who makes a paper plane the same way I do.

  • Your mom that's my guess

  • The two fans blow at each other keeping it in the middle while air passes above pushing down and the air passing below pushes up

  • the air blows under the plane lifting up and also on top so it dosent go up to high and the left fan is blowing it to the right but the right fan is blowing to the left wich is stoping it to go to far

  • @katana1426 chuck norris could do it without the paper

  • i did this outside with a paper airplane and i worked without the fans. it was a windy day and i have witnesses

  • @Tjeyis cool story bro

  • Conclusion? Fishing line

  • The air travels under the wing, lifting it up. The air on top of the wing just slides across the top. The fan on the left is blowing the plane to the right, and the fan on the right is blowing the plane to the left. So it stays in place. Am I correct?

  • Fake... He even made another video saying it was fake. He say it was a "joke"

  • MAGNETS! HOW DO THEY WORK oh wait, oops...

  • Its real

  • my mind has been blown.

  • awesome! i tried that, it worked!!! it actually worked!!!

  • This is just based on Bernoulli's Principle... nothing big.

    But cool to look at!

  • @singhsomesh99 hahaha look at you trying to be all smart and nonchalant. Its actually fake sooo.. you're wrong...

  • @singhsomesh99 No its not!!!

  • ok you guys are giveing him deth threts wtf its a joke

  • now i dont rtrust theese videos anyomore -_-

    

  • I can see the fishing line

  • @superfrenchfrys no you cant. they probably used magicians string which is invisible even up close

  • That the coolest thing I have seen!!!!!

  • I knew bible trumpery still existed but god damn @Tinniches maybe you should just hold your breath till the second coming happens and die blindly as you miss all the enjoy ability the heaven around you has to offer. The perpetuated nonsense of people like you is what is halting humanity from developing master cognitive control of our brains which would there by keep us one step a head of technology... But don"t listen to be see the way the future plays out by the rate of Murphy's Law.

  • and to think some of you people, who gave all of these scientific answers, paid for an education.....suckers...hahaha­hahaha

  • well it might work with mega fans X3

  • Gods will is allowing for it to stay there. Read the Bible, it's all in there.

  • @TinnInches I agree !! a man

  • That's frickin awesome

  • Wow you thought it was fake, this is science

  • thats so cool! =D

  • lol. you guys all thought it was real. you guys on youtube are so funny.

  • I have a more detailed explanation, but Youtube only allows so many characters. The obvious question about tilt bank and pivot I answered as 'aerodynamic'. This is a simplification.

  • I think about it like this:

    -The plane is aerodynamic, so it will align with the stream of the fan pointing at it's pointy end. It can't go anywhere

    -Now this explains why the plain stays horizontal, but NOT why gravity cannot catch it, but think about this: The air is rushing in from both sides. The air streams collide and have to go somewhere. They cannot go down, because they will hit the table. They move outward and UP! And that's why the plane doesn't fall on the table.

  • @hjalmarsnoep just in case you didn't know, this is an April Fool's trick.

  • @hjalmarsnoep theres a string holding the plane up... thats why its not falling down

  • @hjalmarsnoep can i lol at you?

  • @hjalmarsnoep man you really stepped into that one...hahahahahaha

  • Cool

  • The string are visible if you watch carefully!

  • What fish line or string? i dont see it you guys must really have a supersonic eye

  • had two identical fans tried tons of diffrent ways with speed angles an never worked

  • Guys this is a aprils fools day prank so everyone doesn't have to keep saying that it's fake

  • Yeah, this is fake, it doesn't even make any sense, how could this POSSIBLY work?

  • @AlexLloydPowell The air is pushing the plane up like it normaly does while the oposing forces are pushing the plane on to different faces so the plane will hover.

  • @AlexLloydPowell

    well with the two fans blowing the plane opposite one another, the plane stays still because the air at the same speed from opposite directions wont let it move. ( i think )

  • Newtons Law..Every action as the same reaction...Same force going against each other, it stays the same, no movement..See I'm smart alil

  • Newtons Law..Every action as the same reaction...Same force going against each other, it stays the same, no movement..See I'm smart...alittle

  • it obviously gotta be identical fans because if they are different even if they have the same power they wont be the same since theyre different companys!!

  • any way to do it with less turbulance?

  • I saw the fishing line on 0:34 - 0:35 while the paper plane is being placed down.

  • @pika8387 What fishing line?

    

  • @WhiteRoarBlack If you look at the left thumb region you can see a string of some sort under the plane

  • @pika8387 i think your hallucinating.

  • @TheGlitterGirl1998 If you look at the left thumb region you can see a string of some sort under the plane

  • Y the f*** is every 1 saying it's fake iv done like 1,000,000,000 times!!!

  • dangittt i cant do it cause my parent aren't home yet!

  • @spider459 WHAHAHA LOZLZZL M LMFAAOO

  • IT IS A STRING! OMG PEOPLE

  • if you said is real why do you cahge the back to another color daa

  • so its fake got in fishing line?

  • fishing line omg!

  • THere's a ghost holding it! :OO

    Juuust kidding XD I <3 science :D and the experiment too. My fave is the diet coke and mentos :)

  • @MissMusic2416 amazing how people run scared at things like this:) and hey lets not forget the soda and poprocks!!!!:)

  • No it is possible... its not an april fools trick. The one that was made on april fools WAS a trick.

  • simply because the force of the fair propelled at the fan is exactly the same on both sides..also the plane stays in the air due the the aero dynamics of the plane that's why while making the plane..both sides have to be symmetrical =D

  • It's real....

    It's basic physics guys.

  • Sik i tried it. It works great!

  • @Clayton2MacDonald itz aprils foolz stop lying

  • others bought fans just to do that but it doesn't work. it is really a big april fool. :(

  • at 0:34 you can see the string!!!!

  • @1999safa What string? I can't see it. You must have good eye sight because I still can't see it.

  • FAKE!

  • WTF I Can See Strings >:D

  • Yes!! It's actually worked lol how is this April fools that was a fail lol!!!

  • @SoWhatLand but how? they have a video up on the reveal of how this is not possible. O.O

  • @SoWhatLand

    Yeah.. I think your comment was a fail. LOL

  • 10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!

  • I tried this... AND IT WORKED. Although, it was probably because the fans were pointed slightly upwards and the plane was made from tissue paper, and IT WORKED =D

  • Hey I just bought 2 fans. Do I need to set th... wait... fooled again!

  • How is this fake? i have seen this done b4...

  • Right when it goes from 0:34 to 0:35, you can see the fishing line cross in front of his back finger on the bottom of the plane.

  • The plane only flies on April 1st! Be careful and don't try this on any other day.

  • @edv11nas I just tried it today, it still isn't working...

  • @BigWetChode its a big april fool

  • @BigWetChode you've are fooled

  • Fishing line for sure!!!!

  • fishing line!!!! :D

  • april fools...
