Balloon Skewer – Sick Science! #071
Learn more at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/skewer-through-balloon Some things in this world just don’t mix – dogs and cats, oil and water, needles and balloons. Everyone knows that a balloon’s worst fear is a sharp object…even a sharpened, wooden cooking skewer. With a little scientific knowledge about polymers you’ll be able to perform a seemingly impossible task… pierce a balloon with a wooden skewer without popping it. Suddenly piercing takes on a whole new meaning!
