BALLOON AMPLIFIER

When you think of speakers, loud sounds are typically the first thing that comes to mind. Speakers have amplifiers built in to make sounds louder. But did you know that a balloon may also be used as an amplifier to boost the volume?

HOW TO MAKE A BALLOON AMPLIFIER

  • Fill the balloon with air.
  • Hold the inflated balloon close to your ear.
  • Tap the side of the balloon that is away from your face lightly.
  • Do not do anything that will cause it to pop while it is near you, as loud noises like these can really hurt your ears!

So, what happens ?

You’ll hear a sound that’s significantly louder than the mild tapping of your finger.

WHY DOES A BALLOON AMPLIFY SOUND

The air inside the balloon is tightly compressed. Pumping air into the balloon works as an air compressor, forcing air to inflate the rubber balloon. The air molecules inside the balloon are significantly closer together than they are in the rest of the room. Because the molecules in the air inside the balloon were so closely packed together, it became a greater conductor of sound waves. As a result, even a gentle tapping of your finger produces a greater sound.

I hope you enjoyed experimenting with a balloon amplifier!

A logician went on vacation to an island. There were two different tribes that lived on the island. One tribe always told the truth and one tribe always lied. When he reaches to a fork in the road, he must ask a local person which way to go to reach the village. The logician has no way of knowing if the person is telling the truth or lying. He pause for a bit, then asks only one question. He knows which path to take based on the response.

What question does he ask?
