    Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times you have your breath taken away

    An air vacuum? I'm more inclined to think that the air gun is holding it up (hence the angle it's being blown onto the screw driver at) and the force of it's rotation is what's keeping it from just fucking off. But I could be well wrong.

    its about the speed over it through a channel that creates the lift.
    http://www.rexresearch.com/custer/custer.htm

    The Custer saga began during a near-hurricane. A young Willard R. Custer was taking shelter in a barn, when suddenly the roof sailed off. Instead of being frightened, Custer wondered where the power to lift the roof came from. He'd been fascinated with aircraft for a long time, and knew that they had to accelerate down a runway to generate enough lift to take-off, while the barn roof, a poor airfoil, had lifted off "just sitting there".
    Think about the shape of the flutes in the handle......
