Cool, Thanks everyone :smile:

My Brain hurts :bugeye: Can you be a little less specific? So what your saying is yes I have to add additional bouyancy to overcome the effects of the extra weight added by the water inside the boat?

First thanks for all the replies :smile: Now let me ask you this then... Using an inert gas, what is the best way to create the maximum amount of bouyancy? Is Helium my best bet? And if not, what readily available inert gas should I use to get the best bouyancy? And if I understand...

Sorry I should have known that, so 1 cubic foot of helium will keep almost 64 lbs afloat in salt water, and a little less than 62.4 lbs in fresh water? Is there a more buoyant gas that would be more effective? Does compressing the gas make it more buoyant? In other words if I have a...

Hey all, :confused: I have a few questions... 1. Is Helium the lightest inert gas? 2. If not what is the lightest inert gas? 3. If so, then how much weight can 1 cubic foot of Helium keep afloat without sinking below the surface? 4. Since fresh water and salt water have...
