When you blow into
the gap between the can
and the mug, the force
of the air squeezes the air
that’s already down there.When you try to squeeze air like this,
the air pushes back in all directions.
In other words, you’re making the air
pressure increase. This high-pressure
air then pushes against the bottom
of the can, which results in it rising
up and flying out of the mug.W
