Can You Inflate a Ball Without Using a Pump? Can You Do It?

What happens when you get a ball but do not have a ball pump to inflate it with? I have heard you can inflate a ball using the power of your lungs so, i put it to the test?
Can You Inflate a Ball Without Using a Pump? Let me show you if it is possible without bursting a blood vessel.
This is one of our most popular video's and viewing figures double on Christmas Day each year, thank you. But, may i suggest when you buy a ball as a gift, don't forget to buy a ball pump too.
If inflating your ball isn't urgent and you have time to buy a ball pump then one simple cheap option on Amazon, is as follows amzn.to/3oGItwu
As part of my Sports Ball Stu Investigates series, I take a look at the inside of all sports balls and find out what's inside.

I saw a couple of video's claiming that it is possible to inflate a ball without a pump. One of those vids actually used a ball that was already inflated, how does that prove it's possible? I give it my best shot and almost burst a blood vessel in the process. If you think you can inflate a ball without a pump, send us the video showing how you did it but, start with a deflated ball.

[@Sixta16]

A trained person can put out as much 3-4psi. Average person who cannot blow a humble latex balloon can blow 1psi at max. Healthy person will produce about 2psi.

[@SportsBallStu]

Thanks Sixta16, we did actually get the psi up to 3 so i assume we are healthy and trained. Thanks for your comment.

[@GT-us8vc]

And Wim Hof student for 4 years now can do it with ease at 8 psi. Started off with Hof at 1:30 secs holding my breath, today I reached 5:30 secs. Thank you Hof

@TayTakeOff y u so toxic. Americans are the only ones who have color favor etc. Every other country it's colour and favour. How about you pay attention in school?

[@shiningwizard6963]

@TayTakeOff it doesn't matter. Actually colour is in british english and color is in American english. For example, we write grobaliSation but americans write globaliZation. So try to learn kid.

[@spellbound111]

I've seen a circus strongman blow up a hot water bottle until it busted. He wore a blindfold to protect his eyes for when it exploded with an almighty bang.

[@drmanojpabrai8408]

I do this not to inflate the ball but to expand your chest and the lungs. The idea is to go slowly and not hurt a blood vessel etc. Try it, you feel better in your breathing if done regularly.

[@SportsBallStu]

Maybe I should have exhaled less forcefully

[@SteVe-cm8xb]

What are the benefits to expand your chest and lungs??

[@Derek21701]

​@@SteVe-cm8xbmore lung capacity, you can hold your breath longer.

[@paulavaleriaarenas3635]

Tried with a very bouncy ball. Thank you so mach! The ball worked just perfect!!!

Great job!

his face is as red as tomato 😂😂 moreover I'm not gonna blow my ball and spoil it or spoil my cheeks and gums it's too easy if we just go to the near bu pump shop and get it inflated it just costs 5 rs ha ha

Thanks for your comment. Yes it would be easier to go to the pump shop and get it inflated there.

[@angelwings197]

Works great for a chair substitute at my work desk. Now I can easily stretch and workout right at work. Only issue was the hand pump, half the time it wouldn't pump. I finally got it to inflate all the way, just took a little extra time.

Thanks for sharing!

hi does this works also for a basketball ball? thanks

[@SportsBallStu]

I was unable to get enough air into the netball to use in a match. I would imagine it might be the same for basketballs too. If you try and are successful please do let me know. If possible I would say to use a ball pump for best results. Good luck

Hi Asim, it depends on how far out it is. In most cases a drop of glycerine and then carefully insert the needle to find the valve. Good luck

[@huegeanus488]

Psst... guys... if you leave your ball exposed to the sun in a hot sunny day, then in a few hours, it should at least have more air in the ball.

[@SportsBallStu]

Hi Jordan Gonzalez this is true and an increase of 5 degress can increase the psi by 1 unit. I haven't tested this but maybe I should

[@Amazingcuhlips]

i tried it and you can kind of blow some air in there but you need to maintain your breathing and once you blow the air in you need to put you tounge on the top of the hole so air wont come out and i tried it my mouth hurts so much but i almost get a perfect football

[@SportsBallStu]

Good effort, as you can see I failed

Hi Natnael thanks for the suggestion, not a video that would be appropriate for KZbin though

[@Shandhro]

yow what if the ball alrdy are inflated? can we make the ball harder by using this method?

[@SportsBallStu]

Hi Shandhro I never tried this but suspect the pressure within the ball would be too great for your lungs to improve upon. Good thought though

[@shaaflodi9954]

How much do I get off the end

[@SportsBallStu]

The notch is just a small nick near the end. The length should be minimum 50mm otherwise it won't go into the valve far enough. Also need enough to blow into.

[@haidaralabbad1332]

I actually did it and it works

[@ironman_gee]

You turned red at 2:07 😝 careful mate

[@attacktitan5864]

I’m confused, what’d you do to the pen ting, help pls

[@SportsBallStu]

You put a small notch in to the side so the air comes out of 2 holes when carefully inserted into the valve

[@attacktitan5864]

Sportsballshop ok so does this work with a soccer ball too?

[@SportsBallStu]

@@attacktitan5864 You can try but you need to be careful you don't damage the ball. The video was to prove you cannot inflate the ball using your lungs and would always recommend using a ball pump

[@bencole9927]

Will it bounce well with a basketball using this methord

[@SportsBallStu]

If you can get enough air into. I couldn’t though. Be careful when inserting anything into the valve though so not to damage the ball. Good luck 👍

Hi sorry for the late response. If a ball doesn't have a valve there would be nowhere to insert the needle. So, i don't think it would be possible
