iPad Test - The worlds first iPad in zero gravity (Test from einstein, swiss television)

The Swiss science programme "Einstein" made the acid test: does the iPad's flip screen work in zero gravity? Watch the video with the first weightless iPad.

@Laurent98 Nicht so bescheiden :D Wir zahlen doch gerne dafür das er da rumfliegt :D

Bist Du Kameramann bei SF (schöner Job!). Leite Ihnen doch weiter, dass ich es ausserordentlich schätzen würde, wenn sie den grössten Schweizer Youtube Channel unterstützen könnten. Ich bin offen für eine Zusammenarbeit.

lógico que não ia funcionar seus troxa

Take one to the ISS!

wow its awesome

Maybe if you held still we might know how an iPad responds in zero gravity.

@bathellfire

that's a wrong description of a parabolic flight since it doesn't start at max altitude at all. As the name of the maneuver says the plane follows a parabola.

Also your definition of weightlessness is wrong: "Weightlessness occurs whenever all forces applied to an object are uniformly distributed across the object's mass" which means only voluminal forces and no surface forces apply to the object. For the ISS it's Gravity and the centrifugal force.

Check wiki for details

Actually, this is a very inaccurate test.

This is not the real gravity test, it's actually a free-fall inside the airplane. The way this is done, a plane goes to the max altitude and then basically starts falling down (free-fall speed and acceleration). Therefore your acceleration of free-fall is "0" compared to plane.

What this means, is that you are still affected by the gravity (and the device as well), it's just your floor keeps falling away from you basically. iPad reacts to gravity.

so iPad cant use Astronaut's ..dammm 30-40 iPad less for selling :) xD
