|
A cd, bottle top lid and a balloon and a hot glue gun.
|
PROCEDURE:
|
Step 1: glue the bottle cap over the cd hole.
Step 2: Blow up the balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out.
Step 3: Stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap.
Step 4: Open up the cap and place the cd on the surface.
Step 5: Untwist balloon and let go.

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduces the friction across the surface.
