Normally, When you prick a balloon with a needle the hole the pin makes creates a weak point that continues to tear as the pressure inside the balloon attempts to escape. ( I.E. To equalise the pressure inside and outside the balloon )
That is the balloon bursting...
The piece of Scotch Tape, however, holds the area around the pinhole together stopping this tearing and preventing the balloon bursting.
no it's really cool i did it at school and it really works!
firstly neddle should be needle 2nd it is because the tape is like a kind of shield
When a rubber balloon is taped, the adhesive creates a barrier that helps keep the air inside. When the needle is inserted, the tape and the rubber stretch and distribute the force over a larger area, preventing a sudden rupture. This dispersion of force helps to prevent the balloon from bursting.
The reason it sometimes won't, or won't immediately, is the tape prevents the balloon from ripping. The pop is caused by a very quick rip of the latex. The tape prevents the balloon from popping , or allows it to occur more slowly.

When you put a skewer through a balloon, the rubber in the balloon stretches and forms a temporary seal around the skewer. The rubber is flexible enough to conform to the shape of the skewer without tearing, preventing the balloon from popping.
wanzer is gayyy scotch yoke fo' life brrrap!!
Scotch has various liquid glues, 2-3 epoxies, a rubber glue and a super glue type. -All VERY expensive.
Scotch tape is made of a thin plastic film known as polypropylene, which is coated with an adhesive, typically made from materials like acrylic or rubber. It is produced in a way that allows it to be easily torn by hand.
Yes, you can build a simple ping pong zooka using scotch tape, along with a few other materials like a plastic bottle or a cardboard tube. By attaching a flexible material, such as a balloon or rubber bands, to create tension, you can launch ping pong balls by pulling back and releasing them. While scotch tape alone won't be sufficient for the entire structure, it can be used to secure components together. This DIY project is a fun way to understand basic physics principles related to projectile motion.
Scotch neat is a scotch with no ice.
