Backwash Causes Lift?

In article .com, says... It is not a matter of whether I like it or not. It is something that simply does not happen. There is no sucking force. My vacuum cleaner begs to differ. Yes, there is a "sucking force," it's called "suction". My vacuum cleaner (with the proper wand attachment) can generate enough of this sucking force--which you say does not exist--to lift an 8 lbs. bowling ball up against the force of gravity. If there is no "sucking force" then what keeps the bowling ball up? You're joking the sucking force right? The bowling ball is being kept up it because... 1. Itstarts with 14.7 lbs/inch^2 of pressure all around it. 2. Your vaccum, when placed on the bowling ball, rarefies the air in the wand 3. There is no longer enough air to push on the bowling ball. 4. If the area that is covered by the ball is 1 square inch, and the vacuum is perfect, that would be enough to hold the bowling ball with vacuum. 5. Though vacuum is not perfect, area is undoubtedly greater than 1 square inch, so it still works out to be enough to lift 8 lbs. This 14.7 lbs per square inch is the same pressure that causes mercury to rise in a rarefied tube 29.92 inches at standard atmosphere. -Le Chaud Lapin- |

Tell me, if someone says to you that the sun is going down, do you feel compelled to correct them and insist that they say the horizon is moving up?? |

Even with 100,000 h.p. engine in the vacuum, there will come a point where the vacuum is no able to lift any more than the 100 lbs that it could possible lift, theoretically.
