The Flying Tea bag

 

           Flying Tea Bag

The flying tea bag trick is an extremely easy trick only using a couple of household objects and is very quick. But how does it fly up into the sky? Let me explain

Once you’ve set up the whole thing and set the tea bag on fire. While it's on fire the energy from the flames is transferring to the air molecules making the air molecules move really fast. Also because it's in a cylindrical shape and your burning it from the top the air down the bottom is trapped.

So the air molecules are moving around more a lot more and are taking up a lot more space making the air denser. Therefore is under pressure and sometimes things pop when they are under pressure. So it pops ever so slightly, but then the cold air from the outside gets in and goes in so fast that it lifts the tea bag off the ground.

So if you ever chose to do this trick just try to imagine all those tiny molecules at the bottom of the tea bag squirming around trying to find a way out of the burning apocalypse.
