You’ve heard of “air guitar?” How about an “air xylophone”?
Not as fattening as a funnel cake, and drawing more “Ohhhhhsss” than a deep-fat fried Oreo cookie, the air xylophone at the Nebraska State Fair is giving attendees a bit of fun at the University of Nebraska at Kearney booth, as they take turns playing the air xylophone– some intentionally and some simply by accident as they walk by.
See one young man trying his hand at playing the instrument:

The air xylophone is the creation of Dr. Ken Trantham, chair of the UNK Department of Physics and Physical Science.
