me and my bro got bored last summer hols, came up with the idea on making a big baloon out of bin bags and mealting them together with a paint stripper (probs gave us plastic poisoning, but worth it :D)

time consuming but cheep, and flys from the sun heating up the air inside... i reccommend u giving this a go!!!!

  • Attach a basket to it- you never know, it might be able to lift maybe a hamster or a kitty cat.

  • meow... u aint seen the size of r cat... it'd take a much bigger balloon to lift r cat lol!

  • how long did it took ya

  • bout 3-4 hours for 2-3 days.... cant remember exactly, sry! not masses of time, but by the end we were glad it was made lol

  • whats amazing is how did it go that high with simple air i mean if it was helium or gas its ok but that was air with a fan

  • yeah... it quite impressed us tbh! we made smaller ones and they had a little lift, roughtly enough to lift itself... so we went bigger and 'better' :-P

    its all from solar power... black attracts heat, heating up the air inside, causing it to lift... amazing it gets hot enough if u ask me! only works on V. sunny days tho!
