Ripe balsam seeds are spring loaded, and are dispersed by being flung out of the seed pods when a passing animal or human brushes against the pods.
The Himalayan Balsam weed, which is rapidly spreading along water courses and anywhere it is damp in the UK, produces seeds that burst out and are flung away from the parent plant, when a person or animal brushes against the ripe seed pods.
Sycamore has wings which helps them to disperse easily.

The Himalayan Balsam, a very invasive weed of moist areas, disperses its ripe seeds by exploding the seeds from the pods when brushed against by a passing animal or a human walker. Any seed landing in the water of a steam will be carried far away to germinate once grounded on the mud of a stream or river bank.
Disperse is defined as the transfer of a seed or fruit from the parent plant to other places where the seed may germinate.
