Whale Made from Inflated Garbage Bags
Artist Matt Jones made "Bertrand" -- a model of a whale created from garbage bags:
We breathed life into Bertrand, but sadly, he didn't take flight. He tragically insisted upon beaching himself, and we ended up putting him out of his misery.
The idea was for him to be a solar hot air balloon, the air inside heating up and lifting him. I'm confident the main problem is too much mass of plastic in the pectoral fins, and tapered tail relative to how much volume of air those areas hold.

Should have used helium ---- would be a kick to see an entire pod of whales floating across the sky!!

They should have filled it with whale farts - since methane is lighter then air.
