these are some what less related  to the balloon project, i was initially considering them as possible fuel for the balloons but it never got developed to a functional point.  each video shows a combination of .6ish grams saltpeter and .3-.5ish grams of sugar.  i used powdered sugar, white granulated sugar, and natural sugar.  the sugar is the actual fuel of the reaction, the saltpeter is an oxidizing agent.
 

some other ballooning that hasnt made it into prezi

these are a few attempts we made at a balloon constructed with some light weight trash bags and a gondola constructed of small bits of wire and a foil wrapped soylent candle.  after watching some of the videos here i realized that theyre all fairly similar, and mostly kinda boring.....
