BESS is a particle physics experiment carried by a balloon. BESS stands for Balloon-borne Experiment with Superconducting Spectrometer. [1] See also
Fig. 1. Two balloons are connected via a hollow tube. When the valve is opened, the smaller balloon shrinks and the larger balloon expands. The two-balloon experiment is an experiment involving interconnected balloons. It is used in physics classes as a demonstration of elasticity.

The cast of the television series MythBusters perform experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives' tales, and the like. This is a list of the various myths tested on the show as well as the results of the experiments (the myth is either busted, plausible, or confirmed).
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 balloon rocket can be used easily to demonstrate simple physics, namely Newton’s third law of motion. [2] A common experiment with a balloon rocket consists in adding other objects such as a string or fishing line, a drinking straw and adhesive tape to the balloon itself. The string is threaded through the straw and is attached at both ...
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.
Trappe continued to experiment in cluster ballooning flights. In 2011, he replicated the floating house from the animated film Up for a National Geographic television program. [28] On July 6, 2015, Daniel Boria of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, tied about 100 helium balloons to a garden chair and flew over his city in a publicity stunt.
