Balloon-Powered Mini Boat Experiment

Discover the Power of Air 🚤

Turn a simple balloon into motion with the Balloon-Powered Mini Boat Experiment. Inflate a balloon, attach it to the boat and watch escaping air propel the boat across the water. It’s a fun, hands-on way to demonstrate air pressure, propulsion and cause and effect.

Compact and easy to demonstrate, this miniature boat is ideal for supervised science activities, classroom demonstrations and at-home experiments. Try different balloon inflation levels and observe how the amount of air affects the boat’s movement.
