Garrison outlines the "obvious".
Not making fun!! Just noting that many explanations of lift are simply goofy.
His is not.
If some of the studious types would just go lie by a creek and watch how watr flows around pebbles etc., -they MAY make the leap of realization that air and water share the same basic laws .
most basic :
They always take they path of least resistance.
Lift is simply the result of pressure difference.
The same thing happens when water moves a pebble.
Of course -being humans -we tend to over complicate by attempting to simplify.
The coptor on a plate is a classic example of the "obvious"
It ain't how much force is applied - it is how it is applied.
