How to make a balloon bomb
|
|
 |
Inflate a 36" balloon with air - I use an electric air inflator for this as it saves the air in our cylinder.
|
The 5" balloons can be inflated with an air cylinder, nitrogen cylinder or a hand pump.
Each time the balloon is inserted and tied it acts as a plug - stopping the air escaping from the 36" balloon.

Continue repeating the stuffing process until the balloon is full - we can usually get around 80 x 5" balloons inside the 36" balloon.
|
 |
 |
Once the balloon is full we stuff 1000 pieces of flutter fetti to finish. |
The balloons are rigged and wired with bell wire. We use LeMaitre fuses wired to a key activated firing box.
The firing box can also check the circuit is complete - so we know the balloons will fire.
