uninflatcd section) that section must be long enough
to accommodate the displaced air

12 inch of the balloon uninAated for
each twist in the figure It's natural to ove r in fl ate the balloo n, so start with
less ai r than you think you' ll need You
can adjust for too little air in the balloon
by reducing th e size of some parts of
