Floating carrot and cucumbers... the Coanda effect

It's possible to Float a carrot or cucumber in a stream of air due to the result of the Coanda effect. a A stream of air flows over the top of the rounded surface and creates an area of low pressure, atmospheric pressure under the carrot supplies the force to lift it. When the rounded edge is removed the pieces no longer get enough lift to keep them aloft.
Floating balls are boring, there are a lot more interesting objects that can float in air due the same effect. baby dolls, footballs, lightbulbs, mr. potato head even a hot dog that can be cooked while it is in midair. check out these other videos

    so for a jetpack I could carry an air compressor on my back and have air blow up toward my domed head

    If you do this, you may cause injuries. Instead of this, you can lift an air compressor on you back that will blow air downward and hence, by 'normal reaction force' you can fly and can also balance yourself.

    Could you attempt to nibble on the cut carrot, to see if you could regain lift?

    Sir, I have a question :- Earth atmosphere has only 0.04% of carbondioxide, then why we need a large percentage of trees on earth ?

    I've seen it before but it makes no sense that it could be stable like that :) it's probably a good case study for aerodynamics because it's highly particular. It's 5 axis natural stability for a setup that should have no stability

    I can tell you but not sure if it is helpful. the video has a quick shot of the compressor average size home compressor. It has a capacity of 100 psi and replaces at about 3.5 cubic feet per minute.. dialed down to about 60 PSI, and I don't need to open the nozzle to a full stream. However for some other objects I have to run more air. Look in my comment for other videos on floating objects

    Can you move up&down and/or side/side the carrot/cucumber with the air-pistol?

    Of course, when you increase the pressure, you'll go upward and when you decrease the pressure, you'll came downward (due to gravity)

    I thought sharp edge will create turbulence or a reduced pressure zone, which makes easier to lift up the carrot. But I am wrong? Can someone explain why?

    The top of carro is little rounded , when the air goes straight (touching carrot's wall) , pressure reduces at the side of top most part of carrot (where carrot is rounded) due to viscosity, to fill that lower pressure area air bends at the top of carrot and hence, balance the carrot.

    So levitation could be possible by providing enough thrust on the top instead of bottom.
