Air Pressure: Balloon: Deflated Balloon. (Photo: Jane Brennecker/Istock/Getty Images)

A deflated balloon cannot be inflated inside a plastic bottle because air is trapped around the balloon inside the bottle. However, if there is a hole poked in the bottom of the bottle, the balloon can be easily inflated as air can escape through the hole. Covering the hole after inflation will keep the balloon inflated.

Air Pressure: Balloon

Insert a deflated balloon into a plastic soda bottle and stretch the mouth piece to fit over the
mouth of the bottle. Blow air into the bottle. The balloon will not be able to inflate because
there is air trapped in the bottle around the balloon. Prepare a second bottle and secretly
poke a hole in the bottom of the bottle. You will easily be able to inflate the balloon.
Moreover, if you cover the hole after inflating the balloon, the balloon will remain inflated.
