How to inflate a bubble in a bubble? World swindle. Russian will create a record soap bubble

Maxim got carried away with blowing giant soap bubbles a year and a half ago. His little daughter broke her leg and was forced to stay at home for a long time. It was she who, having seen a video with huge soap bubbles on the Internet, asked her dad to do exactly the same for her.

Blowing bubbles is a hobby of communications operator Maxim Polonsky. Photo: From the personal archive / Natalya Firsova “She did not go for several months, and I made bubbles for her at home, and then, when I recovered, we went with her into the yard and put on a real show,” says Maxim, “then we went to the embankment and since then we are blowing bubbles there. "

Maxim was so carried away by soap bubbles that he began to search the Internet for information on how to make them even bigger. Indeed, in order to get a giant soap bubble, you need special devices - 2 sticks, a rope and a special solution. The formula of the soapy liquid, from which huge bubbles are obtained, is kept secret by Maxim.

“I spent a lot of time and money on experiments and on ingredients until I invented my own solution for soap bubbles,” says Maxim Polonsky, “I think everyone who is fond of blowing soap bubbles has his own secret of how to make them big and beautiful. ... But I know for sure that no one but me makes such huge bubbles in Volgograd. "

Conquer the world

Children enjoy soap bubbles most of all. Photo: From personal archive / Anastasia Fedichkina Assessing his capabilities, Maxim Polonsky decided to apply to the Guinness Book of Records for the largest soap bubble created in the open air. It turned out that such an achievement has already been recorded. Until recently, the record for the largest soap bubble belonged to American Megan Colby Parker. She managed to inflate a 20.63 square meter bubble. But recently this record was also broken: Megan's compatriot - Sam Heath - on March 11, 2015, managed to inflate a 23.3 square meter bubble. Maxim believes that he can do more. His application for the Book of Records has already been accepted. True, Maxim does not yet know how to measure the exact volume of his soap construction.

“You can measure it with a 3D geodetic scanner,” says Maxim, “but it seems to me that ordinary roulettes will work for this. It is only necessary to mark the area, calculate the height, width and length of the bubble and, knowing these values, calculate the volume. True, I myself cannot do it - I am an interested person. Therefore, I am still looking for specialists who would agree to help me fix the future record. "

However, marking alone is not enough to fix a new world record, says Maxim Polonsky. It is necessary that the weather conditions also develop. You need to set a record after rain or fog so that the humidity level is maximum.

“Everyone thinks Guinness is giving some kind of cash bonuses. Nothing of the kind, - adds Maxim Polonsky, - I do it for my own satisfaction. I will be pleased if I have a document from the Guinness Book of Records. Luck should definitely smile at me. It's not bad to dream, is it? "

It is not so easy to create a huge soap bubble, you need to know some secrets, namely, the secret of their composition. There are craftsmen blowing really incredibly large bubbles.

How to inflate giant soap bubbles?

Blowing bubbles is far from modern fun. It is known that even on ancient frescoes, images of children blowing soap bubbles were found. Despite the fact that our century is called the age of high technologies, modern children inflate these weightless bubbles with interest. This is especially done in the summer.

All that is needed for this activity is a device with which it will be possible to inflate transparent balloons and a special soap solution. Often, for the preparation of the solution, the most common Fairy dishwashing detergent found in almost every home is used. It is diluted with water in a ratio of one part of the product - three parts of water. For the walls of the bubble to be strong, and the bubble itself "lived" as long as possible, you need glycerin. It can be purchased at the pharmacy. Glycerin will be needed in half the amount of dishwashing liquid.

You can also make the inflation device yourself. This will require two sticks and a thread tied to them. The thread should be tied so that it forms a loop.

The prepared solution is poured into a basin or bucket. After lowering it into it, and then raising the inflator, it is necessary to begin to move back so that the air flow inflates the bubble. This should be done on the street in calm weather.

Sometimes special equipment is used to inflate large soap bubbles. For example, one of Minnesota's companies specializes in this. What is produced by their equipment resembles giant monsters.

Secrets of the composition of soap bubbles

The secret to good and durable soap bubbles is in the right skin for water. It should be elastic, strong, taut. In addition to dishwashing detergent, water and glycerin, the quality of the water itself affects the strength of the bubbles. It doesn't have to be tough. If the water is hard, the "skin" of the bladder will become very fragile.

The usual boiling will help to make the water soft, after which all the salts will settle. Another secret - it is necessary to prepare the composition in warm water, since it is warm water that will ensure the maximum dissolution of the soap substance.

There is another way to make the perfect bubble solution. For this, baby shampoo and distilled water are used, sugar and glycerin are added to them.

Where and when big soap bubbles were blown

Everyone remembers how in childhood, blowing bubbles, he tried to inflate the biggest bubble. But do not inflate too large a bubble with a straw or tube.

Fan Young is a Canadian illusionist who has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for six times as the person who blows the biggest soap bubbles. The illusionist created his own attraction and travels with it around the world. Inside his bubbles, he places not only whole groups of people, but also cars and even airplanes. Young has been doing this for over twenty years. He keeps the composition of the solution a secret. The scientist knows how to place one bubble in another, create a million small bubbles and many other interesting designs.

There are many cities in which it has become a tradition to hold soap bubble festivals or soap bubble parades. One of these cities is Moscow, where the show is held in Arbat.

Who blew the biggest bubble in the world

The record for blowing bubbles was set in 2005 by the Beeboo Big Bubble Mix. The volume of the bubble created was three cubic meters or three thousand liters. The record belongs to a company that specializes in the production of equipment for inflating huge soap bubbles. She is in Minnesota.

It is known that the weight of such a bubble did not exceed four kilograms. To achieve a stunning result, they needed a solution consisting of water and a special soap concentrate. The company recommends using a small breeze, not human lungs, for inflation. You can launch such bubbles from the roofs of high-rise buildings, so that they will fly freely, and not lie on the ground. The Beeboo Big Bubble Mix claims that their huge bubble is not the limit. The theoretical size, according to experts, can be four hundred cubic meters or four hundred thousand liters. But such a record is still ahead.

In 2009, the 2005 record was broken. This time the bubble was six meters long, five meters high and five meters wide. He was cheated by a British citizen who calls himself a "bubble specialist". His last name is Sam Heath.

In 2012, the same Sam Heath managed to inflate a bubble around a group of people, consisting of one hundred and eighty-one people. To create such an attraction, he used a platform on which he poured a solution created according to his recipe in a volume of two thousand liters. By means of special equipment, together with his daughter, the illusionist made it so that all the people on this platform were in a soap bubble.

Not only bubbles are big, but also more durable things and creatures. For example, according to the site, the tallest tower in the world is 822 meters high.

Sam Heath, who calls himself a "bubble blower", blew the largest soap bubble in the world, breaking his own record.

(Kazan, August 5, Tatar-inform). An unusual record was set recently in the UK. Sam Heath, who calls himself a "bubble blower", blew the biggest soap bubble in the world.

Sam Heath, 37, who goes by the pseudonym Samsam Bubbleman, has broken his own record. In 2005, in America, he inflated a soap bubble with a volume of almost 3 cubic meters. The professional "swindler" does not yet know the exact volume of the current attempt, writes the Daily Mail. It is known that the bubble was more than 6 m in length and 5 m in width and height. To get into the Guinness Book of Records, Sam Heath is waiting for the exact calculations of the experts.

Sam has been a "bubble expert" by his own definition for 20 years. He says that the main thing in his business is a soap solution, the unique formula of which he, of course, keeps secret, notes the Telegraph. In addition, in order to inflate the record-holder bubble, Heath used special canes with ropes of a certain length. Finally, it is important to consider both the strength and direction of the wind in order to achieve success, the "blower" said.

“If you have the right solution, you can inflate a bubble from what
whatever, be it a regular coat rack or even your own hands, ”says Samsam Bubbleman.

In addition to the record for the size of a soap bubble, Sam Heath owns 2 more entries in the Guinness Book of Records. In November 2007, he was able to put 50 schoolchildren in a giant soap bubble, and in 2008, he was able to inflate 66 small bubbles inside one large one. Now he has created a company for the production of mixtures and "devices" for blowing bubbles, and also travels the world with his own show.

Canadian illusionist Fan Young set a new record for hitting by blowing a bubble that could hold 181 people!

To create the attraction, the magician used a large platform, around the perimeter of which two thousand liters of soap bubble solution were poured. The illusionist put the participants in the experiment on a scaffold built inside the platform and, using special equipment, blew a huge bubble around the people.

Fan Yang invented the soap solution for the attraction himself and now keeps its composition secret. The liquid allows you to create the most unusual designs, for example, place a bubble inside another bubble or create a wall of bubbles several tens of meters high.

According to the illusionist, creating the solution was not easy. “The film of a soap bubble is very elastic. Temperature also plays an important role. We need to find the right proportions and composition, ”said Young.

Fan was assisted in setting the record by his daughter, Melody Young.

The largest soap bubbles in the world

Everyone, probably, had fun blowing bubbles in childhood? The oldest, "grandfather's" version: a straw (real, not a cocktail), fluffed with a "chamomile" at the end, and a soapy solution. The bubbles were small and it took a lot of training and experience to get bigger bubbles. Then there were ready-made, "commercial", bubbles with a special solution and a ring for blowing. Now getting beautiful and big soap bubbles has become incomparably easier.

Then childhood was gone, and hobby was gone. However, not all. There is a man who made bubble blowing his profession. Sem Heath in his thirty-seven years with enthusiasm inflates soap bubbles. And what! There are no bubbles equal to it in the world. No wonder he himself invented a new profession: a bubblerologist. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the composition of the soap mixture plays an important role in his success, the successful version of which Sem has been developing for two decades. The recipe for the composition is his personal know-how and he strictly keeps it secret. However, he will willingly share the finished composition, or rather sell it. He is the creator of Bubble Inc, which makes all the bubble blowing accessories you need. She also organizes professional bubble blowing shows. The pro himself actively participates in these shows and is in great demand.
He holds three world records for blowing bubbles:
1) He was able to blow the largest soap bubble in the world. It was six meters long and one and a half meters in diameter. The volume of "blown" air was 13,500 liters. For reference, the previous record was 2985 liters.
2) He blew out a bubble that could hold 50 children. Note that not a single child was hurt.
3) He created a bunch of 66 balls placed in one big one.
