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.
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).

After swallowing the balloon, which reached down into his stomach through the esophagus, Washburn had to sit still for prolonged periods while the pressure changes from his stomach contractions were recorded. During the experiment, he would signal each time he felt hungry by pressing a button, which would correlate with the recorded data. [7]
The balloon is an alternative for people with obesity who don’t want bariatric surgery or weight-loss drugs — whether due to cost or fear of permanent body changes, Sullivan says.
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.
BESS is a particle physics experiment carried by a balloon. BESS stands for Balloon-borne Experiment with Superconducting Spectrometer. [1] See also
