Abstract
Animation balloon (10, 33) such as a toy or advertising gimmick has at least two hollow segments (11, 12a, 12b) filled with a gas that is less dense than air and joined so as to define between proximate pairs of segments a flexible joint (14) that lies in a substantially horizontal plane when the balloon is used. A tether (16) anchored to an air-buoyant drive segment (11) of the balloon allows different external pulling force components to be applied so as to pull down the at least two segments, whereupon releasing the tether allows the at least two segments to rise independently under the buoyancy of the drive segment. The tether may be anchored asymmetrically relative to a center of gravity of the balloon so as to pull down the balloon while applying a turning moment in a first direction, whereupon releasing the tether allows the balloon to rise under its buoyancy while turning in an opposite direction.
