Are you sure it's not nitrous oxide? Regardless, the Health Department chief's comments are enough to make anyone laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKr Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 And silly me, I thought the headline was referring to those party balloons that, appropriately applied, make people laugh and happy . Why not simple forbid the use of hydrogen in balloons and offer rewards for reporting offenders????? Or as Basil would say : Sybil Fawlty from Torquay, .....

samuttodd Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 There is a finite amount of Elemental Helium available. It is not a gas that can be generated. Once it is gone, it will literally be "In the ether." Hydrogen esp hydrogen sulfide, can be generated any number of ways and is explosive as can be and it stinks like rotten eggs and curry farts. So the keywords here are Hydrogen, Helium, and ether, None of these are as much fun as Nitrous Oxide (which is also as explosive as can be) An then there is ether, as in (diethyl ether) which is is not in the ether either, but a liquid that is so volatile that it turns to a gas (or vapor). So in essence, it is clear that balloons should be given a wide berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonltr Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 At least now-a-days they don't blow them up by breath. In years gone by you had to cover your beer and wait to be sprayed with 'liquid' at 'bursting time' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRS1301 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Balloons are not environmentally friendly anyway, found in the guts of fish, birds and other animals. should be banned along with single use plastic bags and the overpackaging of goods Yes I am ready for the backlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Too lazy to blow up their own? Inflating them (often to the point where they burst) used to be the highlight of party time when I was a kid. Best use for our CO2 as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 3 hours ago, Jaxxper said: Tell me they mean helium and not hydrogen.... Sorry to break the bad news... yes Hydrogen in party balloons! It seems that its main advantage is being much cheaper than helium which is why Thais use it. Aside from that is its relatively low vapor pressure, which makes it easier to store and handle in compressed form. Actually, hydrogen is the only gas that is lighter than helium. However, it has a very big disadvantage: It is highly flammable which doesn't seem to bother anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the Americans for that one The Zeppelins were designed to use helium, not hydrogen, but at that time the only commercial source of helium was in the US and they wouldn't sell it to the Germans on the (understandable) grounds that it would give them the range to cross the Atlantic and bomb the east coast.

crazyk Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I hate it when they pop all the ballows at the end of party's, you either choke on the carbon monoxide from where they blew them up with a motorbike exhaust or you get covered in spit from where they blew them up with their mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
