Headline Tag: Nobel Prize Rating: Amazing Hits: 1301 Comments: 0 Richard Feynman Rubber Bands Richard Feynman Rubber Bands Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the super fluidity of super cooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the Parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime and after his death, Feynman became one of the most publicly known scientists in the world. Aug 11, 2012 11:21 PM
Permanent Tag: Science Rating: Good Hits: 628 Comments: 0 First tent in Space! First tent in Space! The Vangonauts lead humanity boldly forward by ascending to space... in a tent. In May 2012, while the world's eyes were on the Space X Dragon launch, another piece of history was made. In the Scottish Highlands four intrepid Vangonauts attempted their first mission and managed to pitch a tent at 104,000ft (over three and a half times the height of Mt Everest). Mission control was in the Scottish Highlands near Oban. The tent was launched in light winds, and initially headed South East, before catching the jetstream and heading North East. The tent was tracked by GPS by the ground crew who were then able to plan a rendezvous with the campers post trip. The mission landed in wilderness near Loch Tay resulting in a 10km hike through snow, hail and bogs for the ground crew to rendezvous with the intrepid campers. It is hoped that in future Space Camping missions, less remote landings can be orchestrated for the convenience of the campers. Project AirBeam® "Space Camping" Technical Data: Initial ascent rate: Approx 5.5 metres per second Trip duration: 1hour 42 mins Trip ground distance: - By Air: 68.91 Kilometres - By Road: 95.8 Kilometres Trip peak altitude: 31.5 Kilometres Trip monitoring: 2 x GPS trackers giving location updated every 4 minutes to mission control. Ground pressure: 1020 millibar. Destination pressure: 3-4 millibar. Helium use: 8 cubic metres Launch balloon diameter (ground level): 2.5 metres Launch balloon diameter (peak altitude): 10+ metres Descent rate: - Stratospheric: Approx 70-80 metres per second - Sub Tropopause: Approx 6 metres per second User: Stone1 Jun 2, 2012 6:50 AM
Permanent Tag: Lego Rating: Good Hits: 484 Comments: 0 Lego Space Shuttle Lego Space Shuttle My Lego tribute to the end of the space shuttle era. Proving that although retired, this machine can still fly, albeit in toy form. The launch took place from central Germany and reached a max altitude of 35000m. A 1600g meteo balloon filled with helium was used alongside a GoPro Hero, Spot GPS and of course Lego Space Shuttle model 3367. The launch took place on the 31st of December 2011, the equipment was recovered via GPS tracking 240 km S-E from a remote area. I wish to thank Steve Sammartino for the opportunity to do this project and the german airtraffic control for the understanding. User: runarounddead Mar 5, 2012 11:35 AM

And what word might that be, you ask? Science Bob had Kelly Ripa and the actor inhale sulfur hexafluoride, or as he calls it “helium’s evil twin,” which makes your voice sound extremely deep. While we laughed listening to Ripa’s Darth Vader impersonation and Harris’ Buffalo Bill infamous quote from The Silence of the Lambs, “Put the lotion in the basket,” things got a little awkward when he followed with, “I’ve never sounded more like a tranny in my life.” User: Pantufas Dec 11, 2011 2:51 PM

Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 552 Comments: 2 WestJet money-saving feature WestJet money-saving feature WestJet today introduced a new state-of-the-art money-saving feature on board all flights aimed at countering the rising price of jet fuel. Effective today, WestJet will be using air mixed with helium in the ventilation system to lighten the weight of the aircraft. Helium is approximately 85 per cent lighter than nitrogen, which accounts for 80 per cent of the air we breathe. With a maximum takeoff weight of more than 150,000 pounds, adding helium to the air mix will provide fuel savings of approximately three to four per cent on board WestJet's Boeing Next-Generation 737s. This will, in turn, allow WestJet to pass the savings on to its guests. "As a low-cost airline, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to keep our costs low," said Richard Bartrem, WestJet's Vice-President, Communications and Community Relations. "We have been working with our aviation partners to determine the feasibility of this initiative and we are every excited that it has come to fruition." User: flopnik Apr 1, 2011 2:04 PM
Permanent Tag: Helium Rating: Good Hits: 660 Comments: 2 How to Film the Earth from Space How to Film the Earth from Space In December 2010, Alex Baker and Chris Rose sent a weather balloon into near space. This film documents the process from building to ascent to recovery. For a panorama at the top of the flight, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/37166937@N03/5383648737/ FAQ: - What equipment? Here's a kit list for our build. Compact camera pointing downwards (Sony cybershot DSC-T30) - (quality of video footage from this was ok but not spectacular - not included footage in film - would recommend using a different camera). HD video camera pointing sideways (Creative Vado HD - worked well, memory ran out after 2hrs) CATtrack gps tracker, from Mr Lee Kaymont 1200g Sounding balloon, 30" parachute Tape String Helium Small heat pad (outdoor activity hand warmer) - How much do you fill the balloon? You can find data on the balloons on the Kaymont website. - What about the parachute? As the balloon goes up the pressure drops and the balloon expands, ultimately bursting. The parachute was attached in its center to the balloon, and at its edges to the payload, so that on its way up, the balloon pulled it tight, but once the balloon burst the parachute was free to open up. - What about the legal stuff? For info on the legality of unmanned balloon flight over the UK, see the UK High Altitude Society FAQ http://ukhas.org.uk/guides:faq - What's the music on the video? All music is referenced in the end credits User: spam_vigilante Feb 3, 2011 11:04 AM

Check out all of the action from the launch day - we launched 200 planes into space with the help of a helium-filled balloon. Each plane is carrying a Samsung SD Memory Card with a message that someone, somewhere in the world has uploaded. The planes were dropped from 36,500 metres over Berlin, Germany. If you find one of the planes, let us know at http://www.projectspaceplanes.com/ask ! User: vecie78 Jan 24, 2011 8:51 AM
