When observing the fetish of inflation, as much as it interest me..i just wish to share some information to take in consideration when making inflation art.
Helium has a lifting capacity of about 53 lbs for 1000 cubic feet and a gaz weight of approximativly 10 lbs at 1000 cubic feet.
Hydrogen has about 75 lbs lifting force for the same 1000 cubic feet and about 5 lbs of gaz weight.
Hydrogen when mixed with lower then 17,5% oxygen concentration will NOT ignite!
Hydrogen increase potentcy with higher heat temperature, as for helium it is the opposite.
When calculating lifting potency everything have to be calculated with Volume, not size.
A 6" balloon doubling in volume is not 12".
12" is 10 times the volume of 6",etc...
When imagining a women lifting up by inflation, figuring proper size is important, unless comming up with an idea of how her body mass can be drasticly reduced before or during inflation.
