Balloon skewer experiment. A pin or needle is frequently used to pop a balloon. [4] As the needle or pin creates a hole on the balloon surface, the balloon pops. However, if tape is placed on the part where the hole is created, the balloon will not pop since the tape helps reinforce the elastic tension in that area, preventing the edges of the hole pulling away from the center.

The Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (MAXIMA) [1] experiment was a balloon-borne experiment funded by the United States NSF, NASA, and Department of Energy, and operated by an international collaboration headed by the University of California, to measure the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background.
The experiment focused on short-term hunger sensations and did not address long-term regulation of food intake or energy balance. [21] This narrow temporal focus, while valuable for understanding acute hunger signals, does not capture the complexity of appetite regulation over extended periods, which is crucial for understanding issues related ...
Spider is a balloon-borne experiment designed to search for primordial gravitational waves imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Measuring the strength of this signal puts limits on inflationary theory. The Spider experiment hanging from the launch vehicle prior to its first flight over Antarctica.

Balloon Experiments with Amateur Radio (BEAR) is a series of Canadian-based amateur radio high-altitude balloon experiments by a group of amateur radio operators and experimenters from Sherwood Park and Edmonton, Alberta. The experiments started in the year 2000 and continued with BEAR-9 in 2012 reaching 36,010 metres (118,140 ft).
The balloon can be made to rise by vaporizing the fluid into gas, and can be made to sink by condensing the gas back into fluid. There are a number of different ways of implementing this scheme, but the physical principle is the same in all cases. A balloon designed for planetary exploration will carry a small gondola containing an instrument ...
