For those of you that may be of Germanic decent, you may have heard the folklore of the Krampus.

Saint Nicholas and the Krampus would make visits around December 6 to make sure the children were either "nice" and behaved, or "naughty" and misbehaved. If you were nice, St. Nicholas would reward you. If you were naughty, the Krampus would punish you, throw you in his sack and haul you off to his lair.

Krampus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, which list are you on this season?

Junior High School Students Build This Model Dirigible

FLYING on a swivel under its own power, this model dirigible shown above was made by members of a class in aeronautics in Hamilton Junior high school, Long Beach, California.

A vacuum cleaner fan and motor were attached to the model and propel it about in a circle at a rapid rate of speed. It was made of wood and metal at a cost of $750 to the school.

The model demonstrates the newly dis- covered principle of aircraft propulsion invented by F. Slade Dale. The rapidly revolving blades of a centrifugal fan whirl the air away from the bow center. This causes a partial lowering of air pressure at the bow and the atmospheric pressure on the rear portions of the ship drive it forward.

The miniature dirigible was built under the supervision of John Hodgson, former engineer and aviator, now an instructor.

However, with the tab in place you can kick the air up enough to reduce the Coanda effect.
This disturbance also causes a wake behind it which, using the Bernoulli effect,
collects other streams of air and pulls them up and away from the cabin too.
