5/1/2024 - Solar Balloon Mini-Project (CHEMVAS)
With this project, we first listened to a TED talk spearheaded by Tomas Saraceno. Tomas is the artist/architect responsible for the idea of Cloud Cities, in which entire cities are built on the science behind air, solar energy, and balloon like material/structures. The idea is backed up by Charles's Gas Law; stating that a fixed amount of gas is directly related to temperature. The hotter the gas, the more it expands, and the more dense- and as we all know, heat rises.
