The discussion revolves around the design and feasibility of a small pressurized container intended for a weather balloon experiment that would reach altitudes of up to 100,000 feet. Participants explore the implications of pressure at high altitudes, the necessity of pressurization for audio recording, and the expected sound conditions at such heights.
Participants express differing views on the necessity of pressurization for the audio recording experiment and the implications of sound at high altitudes. There is no consensus on whether sound would be audible at 100,000 feet or the best approach to achieve the experiment's goals.
Participants discuss the varying atmospheric pressures at high altitudes and the potential impact on sound propagation, but the discussion lacks detailed mathematical analysis or specific experimental parameters.
That's awfully broad. Pretty sure I could find a container that can hold 1 atmo of pressure with both hands closed and one eye tied behind my back.ricfor said:Hello, looking for any info out there on building a small pressurized container for weather balloon experiment. Only needs to withstand heights up to 100,000 ft. Anyone have any experience or advice?
Thanks
Why would you need to pressurize it?ricfor said:Thanks Dave, we're learning...
So 1 atmosphere not too big a deal?
Tell me what you would use if you we`re going to send some cameras up there to play and record audio.
Ah. I wondered if that's where you were going with it.ricfor said:Science experiment, to hear what it sounds like. Sounds like not enough vacuum at 100k ft to make it not audible?
At what height would absence of sound waves make it inaudible?
ricfor said:Doh, of course. Thanks. So you think audio will be...audible?
Interesting, but not exactly a controlled test.Lsos said:This guy that jumped from the balloon at 100000ft said that he couldn't hear anything...and he was going something close to 700mph.
