Bladder of pig Bladder there is airtight. It does not leak air. Germanic tribes is to dismantle the pig, using most of the sites in cooking, but the inedible bladder became the children's toys. Historically, the pig bladder had several additional uses, all based on its properties as a lightweight, stretchable container that could be filled and tied off.

Molecular Amphiphilic molecules having both hydrophobic and water repellency, will automatically form a bag-like bilayer in water. Self-organization |
  |
Soap balls By the action of the water surface tension and surface active material, to form a spherical shape is the smallest form of surface area. Thick portion of the soap balls, and extends earlier than the thin part, because the whole film is to become a uniform thickness, you can inflate up to the thinness of the molecular level. When the thickness of the film reaches the molecular level, the wavelength of light is interference, it becomes a pattern of rainbow colors, black spots will rupture appeared to further thinned. |
  |
Grass ball In the air blown glass is made by blowing a breath into the glass dissolved at elevated temperature, it is possible to make extremely thin spherical. Temperature difference occurs in the thin portion and a thick portion of the glass of high temperature, because the thick portion is high temperature is extended to the first, and because automatically becomes a uniform thickness. Sucre Soufflé |
 |
Chewing gum In the case of rubber balloon, on the contrary, weak thin portion than the thick part, because the thin portion extends increasingly thin, the inflating size is limited. Ethylene-vinyl acetate 1998 Polyurethane Condom |

1970「Pepsi Pavilion for the Expo '70」E.A.T. In the interior of the rigid dome structure, it inserts a huge balloon that aluminum vapor deposition. By sucking the air between the rigid dome and balloons, to form a precise negative spherical mirror. The audience will be able to enter and exit directly to the inside of the balloon. |

Blisters Such as when the skin is peeled off in the shoe sore, accumulate moisture in the epidermis, it becomes the balloon-like blisters. Dialysis "Waste removal" of blood "electrolyte maintenance," "amount of water maintained" |
 |
Water spider The internal pressure of the water of the foam is higher than the surrounding by water pressure and surface tension. Carbon dioxide becomes a carbon, and then rapidly diffuse into the water. Nitrogen is left to the end, it keeps the shape of a bubble. When Insects breathe the oxygen, oxygen is supplied from the water. |
 |
Egg cell Eggs are covered with a soft balloon but is protected by the hard shell at the time of ovulation. In the case of aquatic organisms, and growth remains soft balloon. Human beings will grow in the body of the amniotic membrane. And humans break the balloon, and be born. |

Copy food Inside of the polymer balloon, the bud of lettuce was sealed along with the nutrient, artificial seeds have been developed. Artificial salmon roe is a copy food to be prepared by the aqueous solution of sodium alginate applied the jelly-like balloon technology to build by drip to potassium chloride aqueous solution. |

Artificial skin Artificial skin is made from a component of "chitosan" of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp It was attached by intermolecular force to the surface of the organ, it can withstand up to a pressure of 20mmHg. |

Dream, Phantom, Bubble, Shadow Bubbles will metaphor, the ephemeral human existence, certainty no illusion, and a delusion.。 People prefer balloons, but people do not recognize the value of balloon. Because people do not like the presence of a weak myself as bubbles. People seem to yearn to eternal life and reliable science, robust property and immortality of art. 1212「Hōjōki 」Kamo no Chōmei |

 |
Supernatural fiery ball Animal put in the air from mouth, and put out the air. When the air stops, we die. And the concept was born there is a vitality in the air. Vitalism |
 |
Alveolus Oxygen in the air is combined with the blood in the lungs. Blood around the whole body, and supplies the vigor to the whole body. Breathing |
  |
Alveolus is a
very fine sphere diameter of about 0.3mm, the surface tension is very small force. Moreover, it is secreted surfactant phospholipids from alveolar endothelial cells, and further reduce the surface tension. Therefore, the alveoli do not collapse completely in the atmosphere. |
 |
Pleural cavity Lung, inside the thoracic cavity, surrounded by the ribs. Since between the thoracic cavity and lungs has a negative pressure, lungs are yet arrived in the thoracic cavity. When scratch the film, air is leaking from the lungs to the chest cavity, lungs shrink in the surface tension of the alveoli. |
 |
Respiratory mechanics |
  |
Instinct of floating Water organisms have evolved into land animals the, by changing the swim bladder to the lungs. Dinosaur was running around on the ground, in pursuit of instinct to fly in the sky. As a result, by increasing the number of air sacs of the lungs, and has evolved into birds. Dinosaur that gave up to fly is now a snake. Birds symbolize heaven, and snake symbolize hell. |
 |
Bubble wrap Polyethylene sheet, bubble diameter 10 mm height 4mm For bubble is small, breaking strength per bubble can withstand about 500gf. Moreover, since a large number of bubbles are continuing, it will be a large force. |
  |
Balloon catheter By being inserted into a blood vessel, to push the thrombus part. In order to inflate the extremely fine balloon, it must have the high pressure of 0.4Mpa-1.6Mpa. However, It does not need to be the tough membrane material, because it is very fine balloons. |
  |
Hollow ceramic particles It was developed as a thermal insulator for the Space Shuttle. Fullerene molecule "C60" It is considered a molecular level balloon, made with 60 carbon atoms. It can be stored elemental in this balloon. |
 |
Ultra fine bubble For smaller than the wavelength of light, it is invisible. Slower rate of rise, It exists long in the water solution. It is negatively charged, It rebounded, andt does not bind. Within the bubble is an ultra-high pressure. By the pressure, active oxygen is generated. |
| Dynamics of giant balloons |

  |
Pascal's Law The pressure of the fluid applied to a part in the closed vessel is transmitted equally in all directions. Work vertically on the inside of the container. Boyle's Law Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. The pressure is proportional to the square of the particle velocity.Air pressure is collision of a large number of particles which are vigorously exercise. |
 |
Scaling Surface tension of the balloon is proportional to the diameter of the balloon. When doubling the diameter, it is necessary to make the strength of the membrane to double. When doubling the pressure, it is necessary to make the strength of the membrane to double. The size of the balloon and the relationship of the strength has shifted from the common sense visual sense. |

It is difficult to inflate a small balloon. But inflating the larger became rubber balloon is easy. If the diameter of the balloon is more than 2m, we can ride on the balloon, even if it is inflated by blowing a breath. In the case of bicycle tire tube, for a person of 60 kg can ride, it need the air pressure of 0.5Mpa。 |
