Have you ever wanted to make a balloon float in the air without using helium? If so, then this post is for you! Let’s explore how to make a balloon fly without helium and some of the science behind it.
The Science Behind It
In order for a balloon to fly, it must be filled with a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. This is why we often use helium when we want to make balloons fly—helium is much lighter than air. But what if you don’t have access to helium? Is there another way to make your balloon float? The answer is yes!
How to Make Your Balloon Fly?
Using Heat
The most common method of making a balloon fly without helium is by using heat. Hot air rises, so when you blow hot air into the balloon, it will fill with warm air that rises and makes the balloon float in the air. To do this, you can use a hairdryer set on low heat or even light a candle and carefully blow the hot air into the balloon opening with a straw. If you decide to use this method, it is important to be careful – both for your own safety and for the integrity of the balloon.
Using Air Pressure
If heat isn’t an option for you, there are other ways to make your balloons soar without needing helium gas. One way is by using air pressure. This involves blowing up your balloon like normal but then placing it in front of an open window or fan and allowing cold outside air to push back against the warm air inside the balloon, creating enough lift that it can take off and fly around the room! Just be sure not to blow too hard or too often as this could stretch out or even pop your balloon before it takes flight!
