Will Helium Filled Balloons Float or Sink In a Vacuum Chamber?

  • In this video, I test whether or not a helium balloon will float in a vacuum chamber. Helium balloons float because the helium inside them is less dense than the air around them, so gravity pulls down the air around the balloons more than the balloons, so this makes the balloons float. But if you remove the air, or make it less dense, then the helium inside will be denser so that the balloon will sink. Let’s watch if this really happens in real life!

    Flat earthers in the comments can't decide if this is supposed to prove their delusion, or if it debunks it, so some of the people are calling it fake and the other part is saying because of that demonstration gravity doesn't exist. A perfect psychological demonstration of cognitive dissonance - draw literally any conclusion, if it only alligns with your worldview.

      AMPed101 First of all, there is no micron gauge that proves exactly how deep of a vacuum the vacuum chamber is in, second of all, helium is only lighter than air. if you remove most of the air the medium that is left (the balloon) pushes down on the helium because it is heavier than the gas.

      There are tones of videos explaining how it works and why it can pull down oceans!
      Because at more mass, objects tend to gather, andy earth is enough massive to pull oceans to itself.
      What you are missundrrstanding is that humans cant escape the earth's gravity! You just can jump a couple of metersn but gravity reach thousands of kms, birds are the same, they can fly because they are adapted to move through the fluid called air, but cant go far from a couple of kms high!!

    Sure, the helium filled balloon has more buyancy than the air, enough to counteract the force of gravity (which is a fairly weak force to begin with).
    So when you put the balloon in a vacuum chamber, you nulify the buyancy factor. THEN the gravity has full control of the objects, thus pulling them down.

      There is something dictating that the baloon must go DOWN. What is it?
      We absolutely know it´s NOT because of density, because density doesn´t define vector.
      Density is simply how much matter exixts in a given physical space.
      A ball of paper is more dense than a sheet of paper, because the same matter is concentrated on a much smaller physical space.
      But nothing in there defines which direction both the ball and the sheet must go in a free fall.
      The vector is coming from something else.

That way you would definitely be able to see if the helium after the balloon pop was truly on the bottom or if it went out with the vacuum. Perhaps there's already a video like this if not it would be interesting to see you do one. Thanks for the video.

Rather, helium changes the timbre and emphasizes the higher harmonics in the vocal cavity, which makes your voice sound higher.

    Hi Hydraulic Press Action, just a suggestion: maybe you could give the audience a chance to mute the video, when you tell the result of the experiment to avoid spoiling, so you can think about it and find out what happens during the experiment, or what will happen. After the experiment you just explain why this happens. Therefore you can choose to spoil yourself or not, if you already know what happens.

    Not really correct with the explanation of buoyancy.
    In this case it falls simply because the water sticks to the balloon and it's enough to weight it down past the neutral buoyancy point for that balloon and gas combination. Each object has it's own buoyancy in air and water, every balloon is different, some will require more or less water to bring them into negative buoyancy
    If the atmosphere was 100% (or actually 75% because balloon rated helium is not pure helium to prevent people dying when they inhale it as a gag) hydrogen, which is much lighter than helium. Then the helium balloon would sink because it's more dense than the atmosphere.
    But if the surrounding atmosphere is, like air is, more dense than helium, the helium will float. Lighter things float in denser things.
    Hope this helped clear things up for confused people

    Oh man that was good! I like how the balloons elongated when they expanded, rather than enlarging in all directions. I assume that is because the shape of the balloon directed most of the expanding gas to the ends. Really cool content and a helium voice is always a good laugh. I was wondering, by the way, have you ever crushed neodymium magnets in your hydraulic press?

      @@ThePauloVJCastilho The video demonstrates that the attractive force hypothesis is flawed. The helium balloon goes down only when it becomes heavier than its surrounding medium. Once the experimenter opens the vacuum chamber the balloon is reintroduced to heavy air, and being lighter than it, the helium filled balloon rises. If allowed to keep rising in the sky (assuming it doesn't pop), it would reach gases in the air of equal density, whereby it would float. You can replicate this by filling a balloon with just the right amounts of helium and air and watch it levitate in place, neither rising nor falling. How can this be with a pulling force acting upon all mass?

Will they rise or sink - this hasn't been tested. Can we test for that with helium perhaps that is dyed?

    • @jameswarner7435
      @jameswarner7435 7 років тому +1

      That's an interesting answer. I expected the answer to be all the helium molecules settled to the bottom due to gravity. How can any of them not sit exactly on the bottom - there is no air so those molecules should not float at all. If any molecules are suspended even in a vacuum, this tells me there's is more than gravity working here. Thank you for your opinion. I guess we'll just have to wait till someone can get dyed helium and try it.

    • @jameswarner7435
      @jameswarner7435 7 років тому +3

      Your right, there is more than gravity going on here. One of the physical properties of a gas is that it expands to fill it's container. Even though everything else in the tank comes to rest, the helium atoms themselves will remain in constant motion, and so they constantly bump into each other and off the walls of the tank. The temperature of a gas is actually a product of the kinetic motion of it's atoms. Higher temp = atoms moving faster, and lower temp = slower. Theoretically, the helium atoms would stop moving around if chilled to absolute zero and then come to rest on the container's bottom, just like the balloon does. The problem is that chilling something to absolute zero is currently impossible, although science allows us to cool things to very very nearly that unimaginably cold. Scientists theorize that if we were able to achieve absolute zero, subatomic particles would finally stop moving too, causing atoms to not just stand still, but actually disintegrate!

    And if you put the balloons in a high pressure container the balloons would shrink but still float. Then if you let the pressure out the balloons would grow, returning to their original size. This is what happens to weather balloons when launched into the edge of our atmosphere. The low pressure ends up making the balloons explode which is why a balloon won't just keep going higher and higher.

      This is another SOLID PROVE that the gravity doesn't exist.
      Please use your logic.
      Why does helium balloon floats in the air?
      Because helium balloon is less dense (lighter) than surrounding air.
      When you remove the surrounding air inside vacuum chamber. It means that helium ballon vs NOTHING.
      So, helium balloon is the most denser inside vacuum chamber.
      Do you understand the flat earth law?
      The law is :
      The earth is flat (HORIZONTAL)
      The only option is neither UP or DOWN.
      Heavier object goes down.
      Lighter object goes up.
      Example:
      Mixing water vs oil.
      Oil goes up and water goes down.
      The FE law is proven to be true.
      Again, why did the helium balloon go down in the vacuum?
      Because according to law, heavier objects goes down and helium balloon becomes the heaviest object in the vacuum.
      No pulling force is ever needed.
      Gravity does not exist.
      Globe Earth is a big lie.

      Do you want to know the answer?
      Because you are too brainwashed.
      There is no such pulling / sucking force in reality.
      The logic of gravity is only in your imagination.
      It does not match reality.
      But why gravity need to be exist in your mind? Just to fooled yourself that you are living on a spinning ball which is doesn't make any sense at all.
      If you want to investigate flat earth, you will realize that flat earth model is not what you imagine.
      Flat Earth is a closed system, all makes sense and everything fits in reality.
      You just blind your eyes not to see reality.
      Earth is flat and stationary, that's the real fact.

      The balloon is a container for helium. But it still floats because it's less dense than the air around. So logically if there is no air, its density is even less than the medium around and it should float even more.
      But it needs something with higher density to float...
      So the weight in the balloon does never change, so gravity is always pulling the same. Technically it should never float... You know: what's heavier, 1kg metal or 1kg helium... It's the same. But expand 1kg helium in a balloon, and it will float... This alone tells me, gravity is wrong.

      Just because you can counteract a force doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. The reason that helium balloons float and goes up is in fact buoyancy. Buoyancy Is the result of a fluid with higher density being pulled down harder than an object with lower density BY GRAVITY, creating an upward force (or vice versa). The more dense the fluid is the bigger the force is. What happen when you remove the air around the helium balloon? You decrease the density of the air around it and in the result, the buoyant force. However because gravity is still present the balloon falls down.
