cool - then for an even better show, fill the baloon with natural gas -
it
won't actually explode, but it will make a nice "poof" - I used to fill
baloons or clothesbags with natual gas and then let them rise into the
air
with a candle below them -- out here where there is a brush fire danger
I
always had a tether and kept them over the lawn area of the school (this
was
when I was in high school) - it was fun. So, you should be able to do
the
same thing with a coil - use thin wire to carry HV to the baloon and
then fire
off the coil.

The aluminum inside the balloon burns and arcs with much ferocity (at
least in the 1.5 to 3kVA range). Bad for a toriod but
makes a great light show.

has anyone tried mylar baloons for torrids?? I know that they can short
out
HV power lines so they might have some value - at a minimum they are
light and
cheap (and think, fill with helium and it will be easy to adjust torroid
height) ??????????
