I found this creative idea on Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas, an idea that can be very useful for a party. Is very easy, all you need is baking soda, vinegar, plastic bottle, balloon and a funnel. What to do: use a funnel to pour vinegar into your bottle (need to fill about 1/3 of the bottle). Pour baking soda into your balloon (fill the balloon approx. 1/2 way). Cover the top of the bottle and lift your balloon and let the baking soda fall into the vinegar. Enjoy!
*** Carbon Dioxide gas will inflate the balloons but they do not “fly” like helium inflated balloons as it is not the same kind of gas. *** This project can be useful for kids, to fill balloons also you can buy a small helium tank. This is more for a science project. ***
very nice idea for children 🙂
Spot on with this write-up, I truly assume this website needs way more consideration. I’ll in all probability be again to read much more, thanks for that info.
Would it be possible to share this one on facebook page? Thanks love all of your ideas 🙂
brilliant and accessible for every family
But … when the result aren’t flying balloons, what is speaking against filling the balloons with … breathing air?
lol that’s what i thought!!!!
it would be good for asthmatics
This is the silliest thing I have read. Blow it up or get a bicycle pump if you can’t. It would literally take you an hour to fill up 5 balloons.
Mine sinks like a rock faster than just a plane one
Is there any dangerous thing in this gas?
With this experiment, if the result aren’t flying balloons, what is the difference between this & using a bicycle pump or breathing air – I wonder!
Um, I looked up ‘home made helium’ and this came up, looked at it and tried it only to find out the don’t float! The fall to the ground faster than a normal balloon filled with normal air.
