Zero-G Experiments on Earth: The Bremen Drop Tower
In Bremen, Germany, there’s a tower more than a hundred metres high: it’s called the Fallturm, or the Drop Tower. If you want a cost-effective way to test an experiment in microgravity -- and your project can survive some pretty strong deceleration -- then this might well be a good place for you. And then there’s the slingshot...
Thank you to all the team at the Drop Tower! More info:
This video has an error: I oversimplified the calculations for freefall and ended up quantising them. Yes, the speed increases by 10m/s², but that doesn’t mean it travels 10m in the first second. It’d travel 5m, then 15, then 25, and so on. Several physicists reviewing that script didn’t notice the error, either! All corrections on this channel can be found at
