Can it work on a rainy day?

@fubleduck It depends on where you live. In my location I can do it under any weather conditions.

hey I just have 2 questions:

1. does the plastic bag have to rubbed against a formica surface?

2. how long do you have to charge the balloon and bag so that it has enough charge for the repulsion to work

[ramicaza]

thats so cool! I never would have guessed that the repulsion forces would be strong enough to levitate something! thanks :)
