Water Bottle Flipping Physics

Water Bottle Flipping Physics

It took lots of practice but our paper on Water Bottle Flipping Physics was published in the American Journal of Physics and is available in arXiv. The paper has been also chosen as “editor’s pick” in the Am. J. Physics.

But here’s the most important fact: all the experiments and most of the analysis and modeling has been done by Pim, Lumen, Mees, Remco and Anne, first year students of physics in the university of Twente!

You can find an open access version of the paper here (or here), and don’t miss our video abstract with original music, featuring Rodrigo Ezeta (production and guitar), Mazi Jalaal (cajon) and myself (on the bass guitar).

Dutch TV channels RTL4 and RTV Oost are featuring our work in their news with interviews to us and our students, I will update this post as soon as I have any material. See the latest video from our brilliant kids performing flips on TV (in dutch).
