My innovative concept involves a balloon loading ramp equipped with a trebuchet-style arm at the end. The ramp allows for the simultaneous loading of multiple balloons, each with a designated time for launch. The arm, resembling a trebuchet, is powered by two motors located at its base. These motors draw their energy from a battery, which can be charged either through a solar panel or by plugging it into a regular outlet. To initiate the machine, a conveniently positioned lever is used to activate the arm. To ensure smooth balloon movement, the ramp is constructed using a low-friction metal such as brass. The waiting platform and arm, on the other hand, are made from durable, lightweight, and long-lasting plastic. This choice of materials ensures the longevity and efficiency of the machine. Overall, this design offers a captivating and efficient way to launch multiple balloons with precision and ease.
