Compressed air can support and lift a weight | Pressure | Physics

This activity shows that air, despite being very light and invisible, becomes a strong cushion when compressed into an enclosed space. It is then capable of supporting most weights. The air in vehicle tyres is ultimately what supports its weight. Air is also highly flexible, making it very suitable for uses that involve motion and rolling.

cool vid but there's an issue i've got with this. The books are not entirely on the bag and because of that it acts like a lever and the majority of the weight is placed on the table rather than the plastic bag. I know the bag could support the weight by itself but that's just a flaw i'm seeing in this video.
