Can Novak Djokovic Break the Laws of Thermodynamics?
Tennis is an unlikely place for a principal law of thermodynamics to be broken. And fortunately, it hasn’t. The Djokovic perpetual motion machine is a chain-reaction system set off by the tennis star in a series of viral videos by Head, the tennis racket manufacturer. Starring comedians Stephen Marsh and Dan Wright of the BBC children’s program, Big Cook Little Cook, the scientists work with Djokovic on designing a system that returns a serve to a number of mounted rackets to hit a precise target. With tongue firmly planted in cheek and a successful small-scale test under their belts, they kick off a much larger experiment inside a warehouse, with unexpected results. Check out the results below or head over to Head’s website for some behind the scenes action.
