How to Make a Fireproof Balloon

Most of us would have encountered a scenario, where the balloon we had tried to fill up gets exploded it comes in contact with a candle on a certain occasion. Fortunately, there is a way in basic physics where we would be able to prevent that from happening. To know how to do it, let us look at the fireproof balloon experiment given below.

Balloon experiments

Fireproof Balloon Experiment

We know that balloons are made of rubber and are fragile. The balloon, when it comes in contact with fire, burns. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to burst. Water is a substance with high heat capacity. It acts against fire and helps from catching fire. Let us now have a look at the fireproof balloon experiment.

  • Water faucet.
  • Fill the balloon with air by blowing yourself.
  • Use a lighter and hold it below the balloon (it would explode).
  • Take another balloon and fill it with a little bit of water.
  • Once you have filled the balloon with water, fill the rest space with the air.
  • Try holding a lighter underneath it. Unlike last time, it will not explode despite the bottom part of the balloon being in contact with flame, rather it will turn into black colour.
  • The balloon will have the deposition of soot on it (black colour).

From the above observation, you might have seen that it is quite difficult to prevent the balloon from exploding unless you fill it with water.

  • When an air-filled balloon is placed over a flame, it bursts. 
  • When a water-filled balloon is placed over a flame, it does not burst. 
  • Why do air-filled balloons burst? The rubber of the balloon in the absence of water gets so hot when in contact with fire and becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. Hence, the balloon bursts with a bang!

Conclusion :

  • Why do water-filled balloons not burst?

NOTE: Perform the fireproof balloon experiment with proper guidance and safety measures.

Fireproof Balloon Experiment Application

  • The water-absorbing polymer foam used in the baby diapers is the superabsorbent polymer that works based on the experiment.
  • Super absorbent polymer foams are used as a protective layer at homes from catching fire.
  • Even the human body uses sweat as a protective layer during exercises or physical activities in order to regulate body temperature.

Through this fireproof balloon experiment, you would see how the subject of science is so fascinating as it has a lot of unexplored areas yet to be discovered. Hence, projects like these would provide the impetus for you to probe more into the domain of science. Stay tuned with BYJU’S to learn more.

Why Balloon With Water Does Not Burst? (Fireproof Balloon Experiment)

  • July 9, 2021
  • 7-9 Year Olds

In this article, lets explore how balloon with water does not burst when exposed to fire.

This Fireproof Balloon Experiment can help kids to learn how heat gets conducted through different materials. This is a great activity to teach all about thermal conductivity.

In this simple science activity, children can hold the balloon over the fire without popping it.

Fireproof Balloon Experiment

The experiment helps kids to understand more about the difference between theremal conductivity of water and air. In addition, they also learn about the transfer of heat in air vs. water.

Fireproof Balloon Experiment

Things we need

3) Any heat source that emits fire like candle, matches, or lighter

4) Safety Goggles (optional)

Materials Required - Fireproof Balloon Experiment

That’s it! Just collect these materials and get ready to experience the mind-blowing science of balloons, water, and heat.

Before we land on the experiment directions, let us discuss a few questions that help to awaken your child’s predictions on the activity!

1) What happens to the balloon when brought closer to the fire?

2) What is the role of water inside the balloon?

3) Why the balloon with water does not burst over a hot flame?

4) What is more conductive between water and air?

5) Define the black soot formed on the balloon after the activity.

Simple Step by Step Instructions to make The Fireproof Balloon

Step-1:  As a first step, blow up the balloon in the same way as you regularly do and give it a tight knot at its mouth part.

Step-2:  In the second step, light up the candle and place it on the experiment table. And bring the inflated balloon as closer as possible over the flame. The moment the balloon experiences the heat, it pops out.

Balloon Blast on Fire - Without water

Note:  Do not forget to direct your child to put on their safety glasses and hand gloves as they are dealing with fire.

Repeat the same experiment but this time using a little bit of water.

Heating Balloon with water - does not burst

  • In  this step, ask your child to blow up another balloon to the same size as the first balloon.
  • Add a tiny amount of water into it to form a layer at the bottom of the balloon.
  • Later, please give it a knot as usual.

Step-4:  As a fourth step, bring the inflated balloon filled with water over the flame-like just 3-4 cm away from the fire. Whatever the angle you hold the balloon, you need to make sure that the water layer touching side of the balloon is upon the flame.

Step-5:  The final step is to observe the outcome! The inflated balloon with water inside does not pop out even if you make it touch the fire. This is the outcome you must witness after the experiment.

Smoke on balloon - Fireproof balloon

Note: If your balloon blows out even after filling with water, you are going wrong in holding the balloon in the right place. So, re-check the instructions and experiment to see our fire-resistant water balloon.

Here is a small step to do, i.e., continue to hold the balloon over the flame. You will see a black soot formation on the balloon at the point of contact with the fire. To know why to continue reading to explore the science behind it.

The Science behind the Fireproof Balloon Experiment

Materials when exposed to flame/fire, they catch fire only when their temperature reaches above the flash point .

Flash point is nothing but the temperature at which the material itself catches fires and burs on its own.

When the balloon with water exposed to flame, the latex material gets heated up on one side. However since we have water on the other side of material, the heat gets absorbed by the water and the water temperature rises instead of the latex’s temperature.

Water is a great conductor of heat and absorbs heat much better than air. That is the reason the water absorbs heat and changes its temperature when brought over the flame.

On the other hand, the latex material of the balloon also supports the transfer of heat through and inside it.

The heated water molecules have less density and travel upwards, i.e., towards the cooler side. In contrast, the space left by hot water molecules substituted by the cold water molecules. And these cold water molecules get heated up and travel upwards again. So this process inside the balloon continues as a cycle.

As the cycle of exchanging water continues, it makes the balloon fire-resistant and does not allow the balloon to blow up! The balloon can hold the heat until the heat of a fire is greater than the water conductivity of heat.

So, all the magic of resisting heat by the balloon lies in the heat conduction process by water.

The soot formation at the end of the activity is from the flames coming out of the candle’s fire. That is nothing but carbon, the primary substance present in the heat flames. It forms as a layer of black coating on the balloon and keeps it undamaged.

Here is a list of interesting ballon activities to try at home:

Fireproof Balloon Experiment - Why balloon with water does not burst

Discussion (extension) Ideas after the experiment

1) In what way, our demonstration relates the temperatures over ocean water and the coastal areas?

2) Will there be any change in the experiment results if you change the amount of water quantity inside the balloon?

3) Find out what the other liquids are the excellent conductors of heat! Perform the same experiment to learn the changes.

4) What is the reason behind the soot formation?

Fireproof Balloon

Balloons and flames don't mix, unless you add a little water to conduct heat.

Print this Experiment

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Common sense tells you that it’s impossible to boil water in a paper bag, but this classic parlor trick was a favorite of Victorian magicians. The real difficulty in performing this effect is making it look harder than it is! As you might imagine, the secret lies in yet another amazing property of water – its ability to conduct heat. Instead of using a paper bag, this modern day version of the demonstration uses an ordinary balloon, some water, and a candle. It’s a combination that’s guaranteed to make people stand back.

Experiment Videos

Here's What You'll Need

Safety glasses, let's try it.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Blow up a balloon just as you normally would and tie it off.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Light a candle and place it in the middle of the table.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Put on your safety glasses because it’s time to pop the balloon. Hold the balloon a foot or two over the top of the flame and slowly move the balloon closer and closer to the flame until it pops. You’ll notice that the flame doesn’t have to even touch the balloon and the balloon pops. Let’s just say you had to prove what you already know.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Let’s repeat the experiment, but this time the bottom of the balloon will have a layer of water inside.

Fill the balloon to the top with water—it probably holds a few ounces (that’s 60 mL for you scientists out there)—and then blow it up with air. If you accidentally let go of the balloon before you tie it off, you’ll spray yourself, and your friends will love it. Just tie off the balloon and get ready for the next step.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Hold the water-filled balloon at the top while you slowly lower it over the candle and watch as people start to run. Everyone knows that it’s going to pop, but for some strange reason it doesn’t. If you’re very brave, you can actually allow the flame to touch the bottom of the balloon, but it still doesn’t pop.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Remove the balloon from the heat and carefully examine the soot on the bottom. Yes, there’s soot, yet the balloon didn’t pop. Before reading the explanation, try to figure out why the layer of water kept the balloon from popping.

How Does It Work

Water is a great substance for soaking up heat. The thin balloon allows the heat to pass through very quickly and warm the water. As the water closest to the flame heats up, it begins to rise and cooler water replaces it at the bottom of the balloon. This cooler water then soaks up more heat and the process repeats itself.

In fact, the exchange of water happens so often that it keeps the balloon from popping . . . until the heat of the flame is greater than the water’s ability to conduct heat away from the thin balloon and the balloon pops. But watch out! If you turn the balloon so that the candle flame is close to the side of the water balloon, the balloon will pop because the water is not conducting the heat away from the surface of the balloon. At least the water will help put out the fire!

The soot on the bottom of the balloon is actually carbon. The carbon was deposited on the balloon by the flame, and the balloon itself remains undamaged.

Safety Information

WARNING! This science activity uses matches, which means you need to find a very cool supervising adult to help with this experiment.

Real-World Application

Using water to control heat is a valuable process. Special superabsorbent polymer foams are currently being used by firefighters as a way to help protect homes from being consumed by a raging forest fire. The water-absorbing polymer foam is similar to the superabsorbent polymer found in a baby diaper. The foam is applied like shaving cream to the outside of the house. As the fire burns closer and closer to the home, the water-filled foam absorbs heat energy from the fire and buys firefighters some extra time as they try to fight the flames with water.

Your body even uses water to control heat. When you exercise, your body produces sweat in an attempt to regulate your temperature so you don’t get overheated. As the sweat evaporates, it takes heat energy with it, leaving cooler skin behind.

Science project, fireproofing a balloon.

fireproof balloon experiment conclusion

Grade Level: 7th to 9th; Type: Physical Science

In this experiment we make a fireproof balloon.

Research Questions:

  • What makes the balloon pop when there is no water in it?
  • What prevents the water balloon from popping?
  • Does the rubber have anything to do with this reaction to fire?

If you hold a fire up to a balloon, it pops instantly. What if you could prevent this from happening? In this experiment, we will do just that.

  • Water faucet

Experimental Procedure:

  • Blow up a balloon with your mouth.
  • Take the lighter and hold it lit underneath the balloon. (The balloon should pop.)
  • Now get another balloon and fill it with water.
  • After it has quite a bit of water in it, blow a bit of air into it.
  • Hold a lit lighter beneath it. Observe. (The balloon should not pop, though the bottom is clearly turning black.)
  • Now move the lighter higher up near the air-filled part of the water balloon. (It should pop almost instantly.)

Fireproof Balloons

Activity length, chemical reactions states of matter, activity type, discrepant event (investigatable).

In this activity, students can defy logic by putting flame to a balloon without popping it, thanks to the ability of water to conduct heat.

Water has a high heat capacity . In other words, it takes a lot of heat and energy to change the temperature of water by 1 o C.

The high heat capacity of water is due to the fact that it takes a lot of energy to separate water molecules (the physical bonds are very strong). Water has a heat capacity about four times that of air. This means that it takes about four times as much heat to raise the temperature of a balloon full of water than it would a similar sized balloon filled with air.

As the water-filled balloon is put on the flame, the heat of the flame is easily absorbed through the balloon and into the water. The water directly above the hot spot rises, cools, and sinks again, carrying away the heat from the hot spot (this cycle is called a convection current ). In other words, the thin rubber surface that is being heated is cooled by the comparatively large volume of water above it. This cooling process continues until either all of the water in the balloon becomes too hot, or until a far more concentrated source of heat, such as a blowtorch, is applied to one small area on the balloon,

When an air-filled balloon is placed in a flame, it bursts. Air is a relatively poor conductor of heat away from the thin layer of rubber. As a result, the rubber overheats and the physical bonds holding the rubber polymers together are broken.

Describe the relationship between water’s heat capacity and thermal heating or cooling.

Compare the thermal conductivity of air and water.

Key Questions

  • Predict what will happen when I bring the balloon with air to the flame.
  • .For the balloon with water inside, what could happen (possible answers: the balloon will burst; the balloon will take more time to burst; the balloon will take less time to burst; the balloon will never burst.)
  • Why does the balloon with water in it not burst?
  • Why is water more conductive than air (hint how are the particles arranged)?
  • What did you notice about where the flame touched the balloon?
  • Blow up a balloon and tie it off.
  • Light a candle and place it in the middle of the table so the students can see.
  • Put on your safety glasses.
  • Hold the balloon 30–50 cm over the top of the flame and slowly move the balloon closer and closer to the flame until it pops. Note: The flame does not need to touch the balloon before the heat melts the latex and it bursts.
  • Add about 60 ml of water to the second balloon and then blow it up to the same size as the first balloon.
  • As before, slowly lower the balloon over the candle flame. The balloon will not pop. You can let the flame touch the balloon and it will still not pop. It will leave a sooty mark on the bottom of the balloon.
  • How does this relate to oceans and the temperature inland vs. by a coast?
  • How would changing the amount of liquid in the balloon affect the results?
  • Boil water in a paper cup over a Bunsen burner.Make predictions regarding the heat capacity of water versus other liquids (e.g. honey or shampoo). Which will heat up faster? Do not test any flammable liquids (e.g. alcohols or lighter fluid) or liquids that produce noxious fumes.
  • How does heat travel through solids, liquids, gases, and vacuums?
  • Why is soot produced/what is soot?

The Fireproof Balloon

Want to try an experiment involving water, fire, and a balloon?

First you'll need to blow up a balloon. Next, light a candle. What do you think will happen when you put the flame under the balloon?

It'll pop, of course. The flame will heat the rubber to the point where it becomes weak and can't hold up under the pressure from the air inside. But what happens when you add water to the mix?

Put about a quarter cup of water in the balloon and blow it up. Then light another candle. When you place the flame under the balloon, the balloon won't pop!

As long as the flame is beneath the water in the balloon, the water absorbs most of the heat and the rubber doesn't get very hot. Eventually the water will get hot enough to break the rubber.

Water has a really large specific heat, meaning that it takes a lot of heat to make water boil, and even more heat to make it vaporize. In fact, it takes about 540 calories of heat to evaporate one gram of water.

However, if you move the flame to another part of the balloon it will pop.

This experiment is super fun, and should only take 10 minutes or less to gather up the supplies around your house and enjoy some eye-popping (and balloon-popping) excitement!

Table of Contents

Supplies Needed:

  • Safety glasses
  • A Long Stem Lighter
  • Adult supervision

Supplies needed for a fireproof balloon.

  • Blow up the first balloon with air
  • Ignite the lighter
  • Don’t forget to put your safety glasses on
  • Slowly lower the balloon closer to the flame until it pops
  • Fill the second balloon with water and then air it up
  • Hold the water-filled balloon from the top and lower it towards the flame
  • Remove the balloon from the heat and examine the balloon

Step 1: Blow up the first balloon

Use your mouth, or you can use an inflation pump if you choose to fill one of your balloons with air. It doesn’t really matter how big or small the size of the balloon as long as you are consistent with the size for both balloons.

One important thing to consider though is that the larger you blow up your balloons, the larger the explosion will be when the balloon pops!

Once you have blown your balloon up to your desired size, be sure to tie if off so that it holds the air.

Step 2: Light your lighter

This is where the adult supervision becomes very important as we will be playing with fire.

If you are using a lighter, then you will need to hold the lighter steady with one hand under the balloon, while holding the balloon above the lighter with the other hand.

You can also use a candle for your flame source. The benefit of using a candle is that it will free up your other hand from holding the lighter while giving you two hands to hold the balloon. Check out this Balloon and Candle Experiment to see this experiment done with a candle instead of a lighter.

Step 3: Don’t forget your safety glasses!

This is probably the most important step of the experiment because safety is always important!

Now that we have a balloon aired up and a flame going, you will need to put your safety glasses/ safety goggles on. This will protect your eyes from any flying balloon pieces when the balloon explodes!

I might even recommend putting your eye protection on at the very beginning of the experiment and not waiting until step 3. This will help you not forget about your safety once you are in the middle of all the fun!

Step 4: See how close you can get your balloon to the flame before it pops

Now that your balloon is aired up, your flame is burning, and your goggles are on, you are ready to see what happens when you heat your balloon up with the flame.

Whether you are using a candle, or a long stem lighter, hold your balloon from the top and lower the bottom of the balloon closer to the flame below it.

Hold the balloon a few inches above the flame.

The thin latex on the balloon will start to heat up and weaken due to the flame below it. Eventually the pressure inside the balloon will become high enough to burst the balloon before the flame even touches the bottom.

No matter how prepared you are for it, this is the part that will always surprise you since there is no way to know exactly when the balloon will bust in your face (Another reason to wear eye protection)!

Step 5: Fill the second balloon with water and air and try again

Now that we know the balloon with just air will quickly pop when heated up from the flame, let’s see what happens when we add a little water inside the balloon.

Before inflating your second balloon with air, simply pour a little bit of cool, or room temperature water into the deflated balloon. Using a measuring cup with a pouring spout, or small funnel will help with this step.

Fill the second balloon with a little water.

Once you have filled the balloon with the small amount of water that it will hold, go ahead and inflate it with air to about the same size as your first balloon and tie it off.

Step 6: Lower the water-filled balloon towards the flame

Now that we have a balloon filled with mostly air, and a little puddle of water in the bottom, go ahead and repeat step 4 with this new balloon and see what happens!

Depending on how brave you are, you can actually lower the bottom of the balloon to touch the flame and it still should not pop! The water inside your balloon has made your balloon fireproof…for a little while anyway.

Lower the water filled balloon onto the flame.

I tried this several times and depending on much much water is in your balloon and how large your balloon is will determine how long your balloon can resist popping against the flame.

Step 7: Remove the balloon from the flame and examine the bottom of the balloon

Your balloon might not have popped while holding it over the flame, but it will look a little bit different where the flame was in contact with the bottom of the balloon.

You will notice some black soot on the bottom that appears to have burnt the balloon. Believe it or not the balloon is perfectly fine and not burnt or damaged.

The black soot on the balloon is a result of the carbon deposited from the flame onto the balloon. You can actually take a wet paper towel and wipe most of it off your balloon and it will look perfectly normal again!

Pretty cool huh!? Not lets dive into the science behind how the high heat capacity of water is what really keeps your balloon from popping over the flame!

Why Does a Balloon Filled With Water Not Pop?

Water has a much higher heat capacity than other materials such as rocks and dirt. This high heat capacity of the water in the bottom of the balloon quickly absorbs the heat from the flame and keeps the latex cooler.

The water that is heated by the flame then rises to the top of the puddle and is replaced to cooler water that is then heated up and rises. This cycle continues to keep the balloon from popping until all of the water is heated.

Warm water rises as cool water replaces it.

Try some variables:

You can try different variables like different sizes of balloons, how much water is in your balloon, and how long you hold it over the flame to see if that changes how long your balloon remains fireproof.

How Does the High Heat Capacity of Water Influence the Weather?

Thanks to water’s incredible ability to absorb heat and energy, areas near large lakes and oceans are typically more temperate than areas surrounded by land.

Water heats up much slower than land.

For example, a place like Honolulu, Hawaii that is surrounded by the ocean often times only sees daily temperature fluctuations between high and low temperatures of about 10°F.

Meanwhile, areas like Phoenix, Arizona that are landlocked and away from large bodies of water can see vary large daily temperature fluctuations between the high and low temperatures of over 30°F.

Balloons are rather fragile things. You know that they must be kept away from sharp objects. The also need to be kept away from flames. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to burst. However, in this experiment you will find out how you can hold a balloon directly in a flame without breaking the balloon.

For this experiment you will need:

Inflate one of the balloons and tie it closed. Place 60 milliliters (¼ cup) of water in the other balloon, and then inflate it and tie it shut.

Light a match and hold it under the first balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens? The balloon breaks, perhaps even before the flame touches it.

Light another match. Hold it directly under the water in the second balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens with this balloon? The balloon doesn't break. You may even see a black patch of soot form on the outside of the balloon above the flame.

Tolyatti: A Russian Homage To Italy

This is the curious story of a Russian city named after an Italian politician, Palmiro Togliatti.

Russian city of Tolyatti, named after Palmiro Togliatti

This is the curious story of a russian city named after an italian politician, palmiro togliatti.

There are cities which were made great by men, and men which have been made great by a city. This is the case of Palmiro Togliatti — a founding member and the longest serving secretary of the Italian Communist Party — and a Russian city located in Samara Oblast, known as Stavropol on Volga until 1964, which was then renamed Tolyatti, becoming the greatest tribute in the world to an Italian politician. The city of Tolyatti was named after him immediately after his death in Yalta — a seaside town in the then Soviet Union — on August 21st, 1964, as a result of a sudden stroke and cerebral bleed. He was on vacation, on his way to give his support for Brezhnev as Khrushchev’s successor.

Who was Palmiro Togliatti?

If you happen to travel around Italy, you may have noticed that in every Italian city — however big or small — there is a street named after Palmiro Togliatti. That’s because Togliatti was not just the charismatic secretary and one of the founders of the Italian Communist Party, but a legendary figure of Italian and international politics. He started his political career before World War I, joining the Italian Socialist Party in 1914, then serving as a volunteer, and returning home to Turin after being injured. During this period he learned about the Russian Revolution and became fascinated, wanting to bring soviet ideas to Italy. He became a founder of the Communist Party of Italy, which was a part of Communists International (Comintern). In fact, after the end of Fascism — during which he spent almost 17 years in Moscow, becoming one of the highest representatives of the Comintern with the blessing of Stalin — he came back to Italy as Deputy Prime Minister until 1945 and taking part in the Constituent Assembly until 1948, writing the current constitution of the Italian Republic. Under his political and intellectual leadership — enough to be nicknamed ‘The Best ’ — the Italian Communist Party would become the largest non-ruling party in Europe and the second in Italy, after the Christian Democracy, which was consistently the most popular Italian party until 1992, when the Cold War ended and the danger of a ‘ Soviet ’ turning point in Italy was warded off.

Nevertheless, the Communist Party ruled by Togliatti had a big influence in Italian society, especially regarding culture, and achieved great results in local elections within particular regions of Italy. Togliatti chose to become a Soviet Union citizen in 1930, in fact giving up Italian citizenship. What may have seemed like complete devotion to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its General Secretary Joseph Stalin, clashes with his next choice of refusing the head of the Communist Information Bureau proposed by Stalin himself in 1951, preferring to remain General Secretary of the Italian Communist Party. Throughout his career he supported his communist beliefs but fought to bring them to his beloved home country of Italy. Palmiro Togliatti wanted to fulfill his dream of a communist plan through democracy: the original ‘ Italian way to Socialism’.

Tolyatti, the Russian city

The Russian homage to Palmiro Togliatti was not chosen at random. In fact, a significant city was named after him: Stavropol on Volga became Tolyatti ( Togliatti Russianized) because right there — on the banks of Volga river — the Italian politician had a key role in building the popular AvtoVAZ factory, the manufacturer of the Lada car brand. And thus, in the 1960s, through cooperation with FIAT , the city took a new shape and a new name, because the old Stavropol on Volga was also covered by the Kuybyshev Hydroelectric Station. This infrastruscture was crucial for the development of a large industry. Therefore Tolyatti — just like what happened in Italy with Turin — became the working-class city par excellence, and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union made it a great vehicle for propaganda and experimentation. Many facilities were built, especially for sports, and new parks and monuments emerged in Tolyatti, which were made to represent the perfect Soviet city for the perfect Soviet citizen.

Not surprisingly, many popular athletes grew up in Tolyatti, such as the Olympic champion Alexei Nemov and the former ice hockey players Alexei Kovalev, Ilya Bryzgalov, Viktor Kozlov and Alexei Emelin. As you might imagine, ice hockey is very popular around there, and the local club sponsored by Lada is one of the best across Russia. Tolyatti, due to its vast spaces, has several monuments of national interest : Victory Park, a memorial dedicated to the Soviet victory in World War II built in the Auto Factory district; Liberty Square with its Obelisk of Glory dedicated to the fighters of World War II; the Mourning Angel standing in Central Park, a memorial to victims of political repression built after the end of the Communist era. Also the Transfiguration Cathedral, with its wonderful golden domes, was built after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Tolyatti was also the city where the great Russian painter Ilya Repin stayed for a brief period in 1870, painting his masterpiece ‘ Barge Haulers on the Volga’. The house where he stayed then became a monument.

Last but not least, among the most meaningful monuments of Tolyatti is ‘ Loyalty’. It is a bronze statue dedicated to a faithful dog, called ‘ Kostya’, who survived a car accident in which its owners lost their lives. Like what happened in Japan with Hachiko, Kostya wouldn’t give up, waiting for its owners for seven consecutive years at the same spot. Under the snow and the rain, winter and summer, the dog stayed there, running up to all the passing cars and hoping one day to again see its beloved masters. Only his own death let him abandon his spot, but Tolyatti citizens unanimously wanted to honor the loyalty of Kostya, building a sculpture in his memory. I could say no place was more appropriate than Tolyatti, because the city’s namesake itself represents a great metaphor of loyalty: that of Palmiro Togliatti to the Soviet Union.

  1. PDF "The Fireproof Balloon Demonstration"

    The "Fireproof Balloon" is a simple and safe inquiry-based demonstration that challenges the students to explain why the instructor-filled balloon does not pop over a lit candle while student-filled balloons do. The 25 mL of water placed in the instructor's balloon prior to the demonstration will absorb sufficient heat from the candle ...

  2. Fireproof balloon

    The balloon doesn't burst because the water in it absorbs most of the heat from the candle. Long explanation Without water in the balloon, the heat from the flame would break the balloon's molecules apart and it would pop. But when there's water in the balloon, the heat spreads immediately from the balloon to the water.

  3. Fireproof Balloon Experiment

    Fireproof Balloon Experiment. We know that balloons are made of rubber and are fragile. The balloon, when it comes in contact with fire, burns. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to burst. Water is a substance with high heat capacity. It acts against fire and helps from catching fire. Let us now have a look at the fireproof balloon ...

  4. Why Balloon With Water Does Not Burst? (Fireproof Balloon Experiment)

    Step-1: As a first step, blow up the balloon in the same way as you regularly do and give it a tight knot at its mouth part. Step-2: In the second step, light up the candle and place it on the experiment table. And bring the inflated balloon as closer as possible over the flame.

  5. Fireproof Balloon

    Let's Try It. Blow up a balloon just as you normally would and tie it off. Light a candle and place it in the middle of the table. Put on your safety glasses because it's time to pop the balloon. Hold the balloon a foot or two over the top of the flame and slowly move the balloon closer and closer to the flame until it pops.

  6. PDF The Fireproof Balloon

    3. Watch as the balloon stays fire-resistant. You may even see a black patch of soot form on the outside of the balloon above the flame. Soot is formed through incomplete combustion and it is normal to see it on the balloon as you burn the match. 4.
