Watch the full episode of 'Failure is an Option' with @outsidebrendan - outside.watch/FailureisanOption
Mastermind, engineer and host, Brendan Carberry, is setting out to answer the questions no one is asking in the New Series 'Failure is an Option'. Watch him test whether the secret to running faster, jumping higher, and generally winning in the outdoors, is a naturally occurring gas.

The great thing too is that the principle of lift here is derived from density and buoyancy, meaning you can afford to carry around a significant weight of compressed helium so long as you have enough volume in the inflated balloons to offset it. However, in windy conditions it will likely be more of an impediment than a boon.

Why would the weight of the canisters be a problem if this solution solves weight as a problem?

@chrisbeswick791 Ай бұрын

@samuel97120 its because its compressed to around 200 bar, so has 200 times the weight, instead of being lighter than air haha

@tatskamaster Ай бұрын

@@yamyam263 The gas doesn't have enough lift to compensate for the weight of the canisters and then on top of that the rucksack itself. They would have needed a more lightweight vessel, for which the materials maybe weren't available back then, and that would also potentially raise a problem with durability in field conditions.

A baloon half that size with some padding will remove about 30% of the load, sill be less prone to be punctured by a branch and if you make the string shorter you can get a much more convenient setup too. Or you can spend more time trainning with a weighted vest and free weight to make your body used to the loads and simply be in better shape to tackle the trails
