In this video I see what happens when you fill an air mattress with helium! Can you actually ride it like a magic carpet? Does it float. Then I try filling a bike tire with helium to see if it makes the bike tire any lighter. Then I talk about helium and why we are running out of helium. How is it produced and where is it going? Will we run out of helium on earth?

We could also build vacuum balloons. If you find a material that is super lightweight and strong enough to withstand atmospheric pressure, you could make a balloon out of it, suck out (almost) all the air from inside and it will raise because it also displaces air and unlike helium or hydrogen, it has no density whatsoever, so it will raise even stronger.

We used to use helium in air suspension for hopping. As he said the speed of helium. It charges to the air spring faster than air giving more energy at inflation. Another thing we noticed was the molecules were smaller and able the permeate the air spring. So if you had one full of C02, 02, and helium, the helium one would deflate as the molecules passed through the rubber.

In order to float, the total density would need to be less than that of air. The density of air is approximately 1.225 kg/m³. If the weight of the man, clothing, mattress, and the gas is, 100kg, you would need the composite volume of 81.633 m³ to float. If your bedroom is 4m x 4m x 4m, your bedroom is smaller than this.

Hindenburg caught alight due to the paint used on the canvas when it made contact with its holding stand, it caused a spark that ignited its paint thus the way it started from the top of the ship and went across it in seconds whereas if the hydrogen was at fault it would’ve caused an explosion then self extinguish as the gas would’ve burned off. This is why airships of today (50 years) are made of a rubber compound developed by Goodyear.

He should have used hydrogen instead of wasting such a precious gas. That actually gives slightly more lift than helium and is not that dangerous if you make shure to have no flames or hot objects nearby (also - since it's contained in the mattress, it will not ignite just because of a small spark or static electricity)

The US government has been hoarding helium since the 1870s. The Hindenburg disaster was caused by the US not selling Germany helium, and it wasn't be cause if Hitler, we wouldn't have even considered parting with that much to anyone for any price at that time. The US has also been fracking for natural gas so should have too much, but oddly, we have too little. Where is it? Its with the strategic oil reserves, down in old oil wells that have "dried up." I wanna know what they are going to do with it, probably something really cool.

Something else that reduces the lifting power is the pressure that the object is inflated to, as it compresses the helium making it more dense. This method of varying lift has been used by Goodyear for a long time, there is a ballonet inside the main bag along with the helium. To reduce the lift more air is pumped into the ballonet which compresses the helium bag and allows the airship to descend. The pressure is released to climb. And no helium is released so the only wastage is due to seepage.

@dannymosquito 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks heaps for the great explanation. So would the helium when it's first released from the balloon and is still together, initially start to rise up and stop after it spreads too far? Or does it just disperse as soon as it hits the air? Then would the helium particles just randomly move around in the air? Is there any attraction for the helium atoms to be drawn to each other like we see with liquids? Or for example how smoke accumulates at the top of a room. I'm assuming the density is sufficient for it to displace the air however doesn't that still require the smoke atoms to stay together. For example would one of those smoke atoms if taken and placed in air float to the top? If not what keeps the smoke atoms together so that it can displace enough air to float. Wouldn't they just disperse into the air as well?

@canadianchemist5052 2 жыл бұрын

i found this really interesting so i wanna try and answer. i think a good way to think about helium in air is to compare it to something like pouring really salty/sugary water into plain water, but upside down. the denser liquid stays together and sinks for a little bit, but in a tall enough glass would eventually spread out and mix with the plain water until the densities were the same. similarly the helium would rise for a bit before spreading out. also, there isn’t any attraction between helium atoms, they are completely non-polar. the molecules sticking together is actually what determines if a substance is solid/liquid/gas at a certain temp, so water needs to be pretty sticky to not just turn into vapour. helium is so not attracted to itself that you need to get it extremely cold temps before it can stay as a liquid. for the smoke, i looked into it a bit and i think it’s because smoke only rises when it’s hot, and it can only cool down by bumping into cooler molecules. that means that when the smoke is all together, it doesn’t lose much heat and once it hits the ceiling there isn’t anywhere to spread out so it stays as a pocket of warm air. smoke that’s cool would i think be denser than air, especially the particles that you can see which i believe are just tiny bits of carbon. hope this makes sense :)

@rossbrumby1957 Жыл бұрын

What he said about the helium stopping after a while is bullshit. It's lighter than air, than any atmosphere- it keeps rising and leaves the atmosphere and into space where it disperses as any gas does in space. It's the only element that passes through the atmosphere and escapes into space naturally. No helium resides in the atmosphere- it's all just passing through. And as for salty water and fresh, there are undersea places where layers of brine do not mix with normal seawater, and places where fresh and salt stay seperate in layers.

A cubic metre of air weighs around 1kg. Even if the air mattress had weighed just 1kg, it would need to have a volume of 1 cubic metre to have neutral buoyancy even with a vacuum inside. Add the weight of the helium (about 0.17kg at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature) and you'd need around 1.2 cubic metres. This mattress weighed over three times that and a tape measure would tell you it's barely a cubic metre in volume.

The tanks are 80% He / 20% O2 to prevent self-harm, because for a while those tanks were extraordinarily popular among end-of-life terminal illness euthanasia groups. That was the chief concern. There were also intermittent concerns about teenagers huffing helium at parties, which supposedly had a lower body count and a fair number of people that got brain damage. Either way, it addresses both concerns at the same time and prevents someone inhaling the mix from being injured or dying of hypoxia. It's mostly a CYA thing for manufacturers who don't want to get nailed with a bad reputation due to product misuse.

Interesting! At 7:47 (no, not a jumbo jet, but still flying high) some of here guesses have to do with the solar winds… it could be that the helium + ions are getting ejected from the earth’s atmosphere due to the polar winds… Hmmm, so the Solar Winds are the culprits… which in turn are the Polar Winds… now… if it were the Northern Polar Winds, would the helium + ions be attracted or repelled? And what happens in turn to the heｰ ion, will it be attached to the positive polar winds … I mean solar winds… dang, I’m so confuzed now!

It floats because of archimedes principle. The force pointed upwards is greater than the force pointed downwards on the object. The upward force is constituted by the mass of the displaced fluid which is constituted by the volume of the object. The downward force is constituted by mass times gravitational acceleration (9.82 m/s^2). Boi

@LAF_YT 2 жыл бұрын

The difference in the up and down force is 0.069 pounds. Therefore each cubic foot of helium could lift 0.069 pounds. In order to lift 100 pounds (which would include the weight of your load, the balloon, and the helium) you would need 1449 cubic feet of helium. Your mattress holds maybe 30 cubic feet, and you weight more than 100lbs, so you would need about 100 mattresses to float 200lbs.

Weight of air: 1.225 kg/m^3 Weight of helium: 0.1785 kg/m^3 kilogram per cubic meter So, for every cubic meter of air, displaced by helium, you get a lift of 1.225 - 0.1785 = 1.0465 kg (roughly 1kg). The air mattress weighed 3.753 kg 1:18 Dimensions of a queen mattress are 152.4cm x 213.36cm x Depth (lets assume a depth of 30.5cm) = volume 1m^3 (super convenient!) So total lift is 1 kg total weight of mattress is 3.753kg .... totally predictable total failure is totally achieved
