This is a video of scientific experimenter and Youtuber NightHawkinLight levitating a hotdog by suspending it in a stream of compressed air (an example of the Coandă effect) and cooking the dog via a heating coil in what is arguable the coolest fashion ever, followed distantly by those hotdog carousels

Because going nowhere fast is a real thing that happens, this is a video of glider pilot Brent Davidson traveling at 46 knots (~53MPH) in an equal headwind of 46 knots created by an air wave lifted by a mountain range below, causing the glider to just float stationary in
