Balloons float

joecc

hi lads,
not sure if i'm on correct board.
To get baloons to float 'mid-air', or at shoulder lenght of the averaged height man/woman?

helium?

thanks,
joe

If your talking about from a pure physics point of view , you would need to weight them , other wise you have to play around with the air helium mix until you get the right density which may change in a few mins

joecc

so it's a case of putting in a certain amount of Helium yes?
Just striking a balance?

You can buy helium?

thanks,

(it's just for a party, not for a physics experiment...

a lot of party shops now sell mini helium tanks so you can fill your own balloons, or will fill for you for a charge.

thanks,
and inserting a certain amount of helium will allow them to float?

Helium is lighter than air, therefore it moves up and above the air.

Put it inside a balloon and yes, it will float.

Any time you see a balloon floating, there is helium inside it.
