Balloon sellers use Acetylene - extremely flammable. Helium is inert and can be bought in cylinders. I had planned on the same project - a Zeppelin airship. However, after hearing the price of helium cylinders in Guwahati, I abandoned the project.

Helium cylinders - Rs.11,000/-

Hydrogen cylinders - Rs.6,500/-  Bang Head

High spirits we have: gravity we flout.



You need ~14.14 cubic feet to fill the craft once and the first cylinder that VC posted is of 14.9 cubic feet of helium Smiley

Unless the airship is completely airtight, the helium will leak. Eventually, all of it will escape. Thus we are talking about an expense of Rs.10,000/- every time you want to fly. Not feasible for me, in India.

Oppsss!! these options are Extremely expensive as these cylinders are directly imported. Many of the Advertising Blitz are using Helium.  Try contacting these guys instead:

My Helium / Hydrogen cylinder rates were quoted from Advertisement balloon suppliers.

guru - I think we are going to manufacture CO2 and NOT Helium here.CO2 is heavier than air. While the balloon may inflate, it certainly will NOT float.

Vinegar/acetic acid: CH3COOH and Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO3

When you mix the two chemicals, you get:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2CO3

H2CO3 is carbonic acid which will later decompose and form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O):

H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2

To put it simply:

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

Anything filled with CO2 will NOT float.

Sorry to burst the balloon! >Cheesy

Roopesh, I have an idea.

Make the airship frame and cover it with the lightest possible black material. Make it airtight. The build has to be featherweight. That having been achieved, now we have 2 options:

A. Put it out in strong sunlight and see if the air inside heats up enough to create lift.

B. Place a low voltage Peltier plate on the airship with the cooling surface outside and the heating surface inside the airship. Connect the power supply and see if the air inside gets hot enough to generate lift.

L'enfant Terrible du RCIndia



Many years ago, when I was a student in Kolkata, I remember a guy selling 3' long black plastic sleeves on the footpaths. One end of the sleeve would be tied up and he would hold the other open end and move the entire thing back and forth rapidly, forcing air into the open ended sausage. Once it had enough air, he would seal the other end too. Now we had a black sausage lying on the footpath, exposed to strong Kolkata sunshine. After a while, it would begin to float up to the amazement of passers by and bystanders.
I recall that he used to bounce the balloon on the footpath to demonstrate its strength. Wonder what that material was........couldn't have been any space age stuff because it used to be sold for a princely Rs.5 or 10 per piece.
