The solar bags work well, so much fun for a group. Great for summer science school. But with a light breeze, this string isn't strong enough...its up up and away with the bag. The solar bags need stronger string. I wonder what people across town think seeing this long black noodle in the sky. I apologize for littering, it just flew away from us.

Mom-
Uh oh! Make sure and contact the local authorities and the FAA when something like that happens. We don't want air traffic near your home being grounded because of an "unidentified black object" flying around. Keep experimenting!

I bought this to anchor a solar bag.

The solar bag ended up anchoring itself around my rock bucket, so some of the string was used to turn the solar bag into a sausage. Sorry, no pics of said sausage.

Plenty of string left over, for a real deployment of a solar bag later this summer.
