Hooked On Science - Toaster Hot Air Balloon

Did you know, you can launch a hot air balloon in your kitchen?

Our "Science Guy," Jason Lindsey, shows us how by using a toaster!

By using a toaster.

"awesome!

Check out my toaster hot air balloon.

Hiding under this trash bag is a four slice toaster.

You can transfer heat one of three ways, through conduction, convection, and radiation.

I'm heating the air, inside of my trash bag, through a convection current.

Watch!

And there goes the hot air balloon.

The science, it's simple, basically, the air it's heated, the trash bag expands, becomes less dense, and floats into the air.

For hooked on science, i'm jason lindsey."
