I've always wanted a paper engine that runs on a filled balloon, I am yet to find one, google doesn't help at all, I really want an engine that turns the force of the air pressure in the balloon to turn a crank, OH, another thing, i want the balloon to last for more than a few seconds, if you make this, I will pay what ever the price.
