Balloon in Vacuum

Balloon in a vacuum chamber
PIRA: 4E20.40

Balloons are blown up at different sizes and then put into a vacuum chamber. When air is removed from the chamber pressure around the balloons decreases and so they expand. The larger balloons may burst, but the smaller ones will be fine. When air is let back into the chamber the small balloons will return to their regular size.
