    The hairdryer idea sounds great, as it can push tied balloons to absolute limit like B2P. That remind me of this video, when punchballoon was attached to kettle's whistle...

        Re: Unique ways to pop balloons?

        Saw the most unusual balloon bursts today at work of all places. We are currently working in a different laboratory to our usual one while ours is being refitted. It's in the neighbouring physics research centre. There is lots of cool equipment in here that I'm not used to as I work in biological research. Among this cool stuff is a pressure chamber where you can seal it and apply positive or negative pressure inside. It's a colleague's birthday and there has been a bunch of 5 latex helium balloons here since friday in the corner. Well they had lost their float and my work colleague had the idea to stuck them in the pressure chamber.

        First we applied positive pressure and watched as the balloons slowly deflated until they were actually appered completely empty. We then ramped down the pressure and watched as the balloons "magically" started inflating themselves bigger and bigger and bigger until one by one they exploded loudly. Seeing tied off balloons deflating and then btp'ing all by themselves was really awesome.

          How could a balloon pop loudly in vaccum where there was no air as medium for sound transmission.

            I guess it wasn't 100% vacuum. More air/helium was released to the chamber when balloons were popping.

              Yeah, I dont reckon it was a complete vacuum in there. The bang was very audible.

                Wow that sounds so cool! I guess the balloon should be very tight for this method... or does that also work with a balloon which was inflated to "normal" size?
                It must be very exciting to wait for the bang haha :-D

                  Hello friends,

                  I would also like to mention one or the other idea. I have already tried the first method myself, but I was too cowardly for number 2 and 3

                  Method 1:
                  Connect two balloons with a piece of tubing. Both balloons should be about half inflated - maybe a little more Then you push the air from one balloon into the other. Will the balloon survive?

                  Method 2:
                  You need a timer that beeps every 60 seconds. With every beep you have to blow into the balloon once. Works best with a one-way valve.

                  Method 3:
                  Similar to Method 2, but even more unpredictable. You take an already "normally" inflated balloon. Every few seconds you force a tiny amount of air into the balloon - just the little bit of air that's in your mouth. There is hardly a slower and more painful way to burst a balloon

                  Those of you who try one of these three methods can also give me a challenge for tomorrow (either one of these or a similar task)

                  Have fun

                    You can modify first method and put double stuffed balloon one one side, so there's a chance that other balloon will burst without your help

                      You fill a room with balloons, then you can attach some needles to your vacuum robot...and have fun ��

                            When ever I do bust my balloons,I like to blow em up huge and tight, then take a long sewing needle and heat it up with a lighter till its super hot, then I bust all my big balloons
                            The bigger the better

                              Blowitbig, why are you going to all the effort of heating your needle up super hot when just pushing the needle into the balloon will have the same effect. - a rapid deflation of the balloon?

                                I have 100 12" black balloons and I am awaiting a green laser printer. I hope it works. I have never tried popping them in this way before.
                                Just one more puff...🎈
