Coriolis Effect Explained — With a ball and a Fairground Ride!
What is the Coriolis Effect—and why does it matter to sailors, pilots, and weather forecasters? In this video from Stress-Free Sailing, we break down the Coriolis force in a simple, visual way using a ball and a spinning fairground ride. You'll see how this invisible force, caused by Earth's rotation, makes winds and ocean currents curve rather than move in a straight line. It's a fascinating phenomenon that helps explain global wind patterns, trade winds, and why storms spin in different directions depending on which hemisphere you're in. 🎥 Watch the demonstration and finally make sense of how Coriolis works—no maths degree required! 🧭 Perfect for sailors, students, navigators, and weather nerds alike. #CoriolisEffect #WeatherExplained #SailingTips #Navigation #SailingEducation #StressFreeSailing #FairgroundPhysics #Meteorology #CoriolisForce #SpinningEarth
