Tips
  • Fill one balloon with the air from a keyboard duster (tetrafluoroethylene) and one balloon with room air. The air from the keyboard duster is much denser than regular air and when it is in a balloon this difference in density can be felt. You can also see a significant difference when the two balloons are dropped.
