  2. Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intra-aortic_balloon_pump

    An intra-aortic balloon pump. The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that increases myocardial oxygen perfusion and indirectly increases cardiac output through afterload reduction. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits in the aorta, approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery. [1]

  3. Balloon - Wikipedia

    Balloon rockets work because the elastic balloons contract on the air within them, and so when the mouth of the balloon is opened, the gas within the balloon is expelled out, and due to Newton's third law of motion, the balloon is propelled forward. This is the same way that a rocket works.

  4. List of inflatable manufactured goods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inflatable...

    An inflatable laser maze. This is a non-comprehensive list of inflatable manufactured goods, as no such list could ever completely contain all items that regularly change.An inflatable [1] is an object that can typically be inflated with a gas, including air, hydrogen, helium and nitrogen.

  5. Ceiling balloon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_balloon

    On the opposite side of the cabinet is space to store balloons, string and pibal lights. The gas used to fill the balloon is helium or hydrogen. Because of its low cost ceiling balloons are often filled with hydrogen gas, but sometimes helium is used. The balloon is attached to the inflation nozzle and a piece of string is wound around the neck.

  6. Inflatable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflatable

    A balloon is an inflatable flexible filled with air and also gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide or oxygen. Modern balloons can be made from materials such as latex rubber, polychloroprene, or a nylon fabric, while some early balloons were made of dried animal bladders [citation needed].

  7. Balloon rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_rocket

    A rocket balloon without its pump attached. There is also dedicated toy known as a rocket balloon, usually tubular-shaped and inflated with a special pump (pictured).These balloons, when released, propel in a more stable direction because of a steadier thrust of air and elongated shape, unlike ordinary round balloons which often launch uncontrollably.

  8. Balloon popping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_popping

    Balloon skewer experiment. A pin or needle is frequently used to pop a balloon. [4] As the needle or pin creates a hole on the balloon surface, the balloon pops. However, if tape is placed on the part where the hole is created, the balloon will not pop since the tape helps reinforce the elastic tension in that area, preventing the edges of the hole pulling away from the center. [5]

  9. Two-balloon experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-balloon_experiment

    The key to understanding the behavior of the balloons is understanding how the pressure inside a balloon varies with the balloon's diameter. The simplest way to do this is to imagine that the balloon is made up of a large number of small rubber patches, and to analyze how the size of a patch is affected by the force acting on it.
