Balloon Powered Helicopter - FAIL

PUSHPAJAN C asked Can u please make a balloon powered helicopter so I tried and failed. I have seen a toy in a shop that works like this so I would guess I just didnt make the components light enough. Maybe a much smaller version would work, maybe next time.\r

david vernon williamson has a great design that really works. Here is his comment and link.\r
One of the simplest ways to improve it is use a sausage-shaped balloon (Tesco) its got something to do with the balance as it spins round. also use aerofoil shaped wings & only three blades. full instructions at \r
His YouTube video of the working helicopter is here \r

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.\r
