Balloon Rocket
A balloon rocket is a rubber balloon filled with air or other gases. Besides being simple toys, balloon rockets are widely used as a teaching device to demonstrate basic physics. How it works To launch a simple rocket, the untied opening of an inflated balloon is released. The elasticity of the balloon contracts the air out through the opening with sufficient force and the resulting pressure creates a thrust which propels the balloon forward as it deflates. It is usual for the balloon to be propelled somewhat uncontrollably (or fly in and unstable centre of mass), as well as turbulence that occur in the opening as the air escapes, causing it to flap rapidly and disperses air outwards in random direction. Near the end of its deflation, the balloon may suddenly shoot quickly in the air shortly before it drops down, due to the rubber rapidly squeezing out the remaining air inside as it reaches the inclination to return to its uninflated size. The flight altitude only amounts to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Toy Balloon
A toy balloon or party balloon is a small balloon mostly used for decoration, advertising and as a toy. Toy balloons are usually made of rubber or aluminized plastic and inflated with air or helium. They come in a great variety of sizes and shapes but are most commonly in diameter. Toy balloons are not considered to include " sky lanterns" (hot-air paper balloons), although these too are or were used as child toys in some parts of the world. History Early balloons were made from pig bladders and animal intestines. There are references to balloons made of whale intestine in ''The Swiss Family Robinson'' (1813) and in ''Moby-Dick'' (1851). Since the 1890s, paper balloons called kamifūsen have been popular children's toys in Japan. Health and safety issues Choking hazards According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, out of 373 children who died in the US between 1972 and 1992 after choking on children's products, nearly a third choked on latex balloon ...

Drinking Straw
A drinking straw is a List of eating utensils, utensil that uses suction to carry the contents of a beverage to one's mouth. A straw is used by placing one end in the mouth and the other in a beverage. By applying suction with the mouth, the air pressure in the mouth drops, which causes atmospheric pressure to force the liquid through the straw and into the mouth. Drinking straws can be straight or have an angle-adjustable bellows segment. Disposable product, Disposable straws are commonly made from plastics. However, environmental concerns related to plastic pollution and new regulation have led to rise in reusable and biodegradable straws. Following a rise in regulation and public concern, some companies have voluntarily banned or reduced the number of plastic straws used. Alternative straws are often made of Reuse, reusable materials like silicone or metal or alternative disposable and biodegradable materials like paper, cardboard, pasta, or bamboo. Straws have been used sin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Body Inflation
Body inflation or inflation fetish is the practice of inflating or pretending to inflate a part of one's body, often for sexual gratification. It is commonly done by inserting items such as balloons, bouncy balls, or beach balls underneath clothes or a skin-tight suit and then inflating them. Some people have specially made inflatable suits, to make themselves bigger all over. One of the best-known examples is Mr. Blowup, who appears in the ''Deviant Desires'' book. He wears air-inflated double-skinned latex suits, and has made a number of TV appearances in the UK, including '' Eurotrash''. Sometimes the body is actually inflated also, such as by enema or drinking large amounts of liquid. The entire concept of body inflation is heavily associated with the feeling of being bound to one spot, or usually due to a combination of a stomach fetish with many other fetish elements. Examples Prior to becoming a fetish, the idea of one's body inflating like a balloon has been a humorous ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
