How Does it Work?

This Balloon Powered Wooden Boat glides through the water with the help of an attached, inflated balloon. Powered by the air you exhale, simply fill the balloon with carbon dioxide by blowing into the tube on the back of the boat. Once the boat is placed in water, the air starts to release from the inside of the balloon. This escaping air drives the boat quickly across the water.

Experiment with various inflation levels and other weather/water conditions to see how far you can make your boat go!
