I'm pretty sure he meant to use the tank to move the higher density helium from the tank into the balloon, and a pump to move the lower density helium in the balloon back into the tank. The balloon would expand or contract depending on how much helium was in the balloon, and the tanks expansion or contraction would not be significant.bbd001 said:Can you give me more information? If I have a tank fill with helium, it is part of the system. Releasing the gas from the tank is like cutting some of the balloons.
Helium balloons maintain their altitude by utilizing the principle of buoyancy. The helium gas inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, causing it to float upwards.
Yes, helium balloons can be steered or controlled by changing the weight and position of the payload attached to the balloon. This can be achieved by adding or removing weight, or by using a small motor or fan to control the direction of airflow around the balloon.
Helium balloons may lose altitude over time due to various factors such as changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity. As the helium gas inside the balloon cools down, it becomes denser and may cause the balloon to lose some of its lift.
Scientists use a variety of sensors and instruments to measure and monitor the attitude of a helium balloon. These can include altimeters, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and GPS systems. Data from these sensors is then used to make adjustments to the balloon's position and trajectory.
Yes, helium balloons are commonly used for scientific research in various fields such as meteorology, atmospheric science, and astronomy. They can be used to collect data and samples from different altitudes and locations, providing valuable insights and information for research purposes.
