Trash Bag Balloon
Posted by Cassie, August 24th, 2009
Jonathan, Paul Rowe, and I built a miniature hot air ballon from a trash bag and powered by heat from Sterno. We were amazed at how well it worked. Unfortunately, it was really windy the day that we launched the balloon, which made it more difficult for the balloon to fly. We think the trash bag balloon would fly much better on a calmer day with little or no wind.
Final successful launch of the balloon:
Also, we had a nice adventure at Waterworks when we were launching the balloon. Jonathan was driving, and he thought it would be a great idea to park in the field. But, the car got stuck in the mud. So, Paul and Jonathan had to push the car while Cassie steered. After a lot of effort, we finally got the car unstuck.
