Helium

[siloseven]

Yuo want to make your marker lighter? strap about 6 or 7 helium filled balloons (the big ones, not water balloons) to it, it will be so light it will feel like it's floating away! problem solved.

but I would think all pressureised gas/air would react in the same way. might take a little more becasue of the dencity but still the same. and I think efficancy would be lessened. it would be fun to experiment with on like a tippmann or spyder

I got you all beat, I'm gonna use Cold Fusion and my marker's gonna feel like nothin at all.
OK now back to reality. I'm replying prior to finding my chem book, but I wanna say that when you pressurize helium it goes to liquid and then would still weigh a bunch. Plus on the note of design logistics, helium is also a MUCH smaller molecule than N2, (main component of air), so all of our seals would have to Uber tight to keep it from leaking. Case and point leave two balloons out one helium and one air given the same volume and pressure, and see how big each of em are in a few days.

What about a back man with a whole bunch of balloons, heck, a hot air balloon, dropping 10gal paint bombs.

i just had the sweetest idea ever: get a team togeather for a speedball course, buy 4 mil. surplus weather balloons for each person, tie around waist = MOON PAINTBALL (shooting of the balloons is ground for exicution, bunkers dont really do much wile jumping ~15ft high, so an open feild would be better than a speedball course...)

"Case and point leave two balloons out one helium and one air given the same volume and pressure, and see how big each of em are in a few days." DUHHH you cant do that! everyone knows the helium balloon would float away if you left it out

Forget Helium. What you need is hydrogen.

Tippmann can produce it and call it the C4. It will ignite the hydrogen gas and blow us all to bits!

WooHoo!!

if you used hwlium in an indoor field how long do think it would take for everyone to get dizzy and talk funny?........ Maybe we could hook up nitrous oxide tanks too.
