Material / Composition

• Housing and grille primarily made from molded plastic or coated metal.
• Fan blades typically made from lightweight plastic.
• Central electric motor contains copper windings, steel components, bearings, and electrical insulation.
• Power cord contains insulated copper conductors.

Physical properties

Behavior

• When powered and switched to a speed setting, the motor rotates the blade assembly and drives air approximately along the fan's central axis.
• Low, medium, and high settings produce progressively greater blade speed, airflow, noise, vibration, and electrical demand.
• Air is drawn toward the intake side and expelled from the opposite side.
• Nearby lightweight objects may move, flutter, or deform in the airflow.
• Partial obstruction reduces airflow and can alter noise and motor loading.
• Switching the fan off removes motor torque; the blades continue rotating briefly from inertia before stopping.
• The motor and surrounding components warm during sustained operation and cool after power is removed.

Form

• Thin elastic shells that expand from a collapsed shape into rounded, oval, or elongated forms when inflated.
• Each balloon has a narrow neck or opening used for inflation and sealing.

• Latex balloons consist of a continuous elastic membrane surrounding the gas volume.

Physical properties

Behavior

• Expands as gas is added and contracts as gas is removed.
• Deforms readily when squeezed and returns toward its inflated shape when pressure is released.
• Internal pressure increases as the membrane is stretched further.
• Untied balloons expel gas through the neck and may move erratically from the resulting thrust.
• Air-filled balloons generally fall slowly because of low mass and large surface area.
• Helium-filled balloons may rise until constrained or until buoyancy changes.
• Rubbing can create static charge that attracts lightweight materials or causes the balloon to cling to surfaces.
• Sharp contact or excessive inflation can rupture the membrane suddenly, releasing the internal gas.
• Heating causes the enclosed gas to expand and can increase membrane tension; cooling causes contraction.
• Latex balloons gradually lose gas through slow diffusion over time.

Behavior

• Water flows toward the lowest available region under gravity.
• Tilting the bowl causes the water surface to remain approximately horizontal relative to gravity while the water redistributes.

• Moving or accelerating the bowl produces waves, sloshing, and possible splashing.
• Objects placed in the water experience buoyant force and fluid drag.
• Dense objects may sink while sufficiently buoyant objects may float.
