“Bernoulli’s Principle states that in an ideal fluid (low speed air is a good approximation), with no work being performed on the fluid, an increase in velocity occurs simultaneously with decrease in pressure or gravitational energy.

This principle is a simplification of Bernoulli’s equation, which states that the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid flowing along an enclosed path (a streamline) is the same at any two points in that path. It is named after the Dutch/Swiss mathematician/scientist Daniel Bernoulli, though it was previously understood by Leonhard Euler and others. In fluid flow with no viscosity, and, therefore, one in which a pressure difference is the only accelerating force, it is equivalent to Newton’s laws of motion. It is important to note that the only cause of the change in fluid velocity is the difference in pressure on either side of it. It may be misunderstood to be that a change in velocity simply causes a change in pressure; the Bernoulli principle does not make any such statement.”

In 2003, Hawaii filmmakers Don and Julianne King realized that something was wrong with their son, Beau. After two years of normal development, Beau was losing motor skills, and his ability to speak; he was rapidly disconnecting from the world. Ultimately, Beau was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

A Public Health Crisis

Adem Dibra, age 8, of East Meadow, gets a surfing ride on the back of Justin Schwartz, one of the surfers teaching autistic children how to surf at the 4th Annual Surfers Healing program which is sponsored by the city of Long Beach.

“One in every 94 children in New Jersey has autism — the highest rate ever documented in the United States. For boys, the rate is one in every 60. New Jersey’s rate, based on 2002 data, should “be understood as a public health crisis,” said the principal researcher for the study in New Jersey, Walter Zahorodny, of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
