The
latest Maplin Catalogue is now offering a gas cylinder and 30 balloons
for
£39.
As a matter of interest you might like to know that one cubic
meter of
balloon gas will lift one kilo.

Thanks Martin.
That's an interesting fact.
I had in mind something 'industrial' in scale - An advertising blimp
etc.
Hence the interest in the industrial scale of the gas supply, but good to
know from members of the group that balloon gas is widely available.
I wonder how the lifting capability of Hydrogen compares to the balloon
gas?
It has several major disadvantages - small atomic size so it leaks quickly,
not to mention the real posibility of re-creating the Hindenberg disaster.
but it has the best lift capability.
