this is a great idea it is to bad there is no support for anything new. Plus city county state permitts would slow the use in the high need areas I could see one flying over a small high raise 6 to 8 story high building producing it’s own power for the have you thought of “the same type” floating on the ocean waves about 1000 ft out ancord to the sea floor spining from the sea waves ???

heheh… I think many would do that

Helium huh? Don’t think it’s gonna happen. Anyway, could you PLEASE get rid of that crappy narration voice? It sounds like a very amature attempt to imitate “Hal-9000″ from the movie “2001 A Space Odyssey.”

Wonder why they felt the need for the Outer Limits type narration?? Are we to believe just because it’s a fairly new idea that it’s somehow other worldly?? YIKES!!

shut the — up

this very impresionant idea

Actually helium is cryogenically distilled out of natural gas to produce the helium we put in balloons not just from Texas.

This is good idea. Imagine a Hindenburg which turns around like that. I don’t think you need kerosen for that, just helium.

Get a real narrator please! There are tons of voice actors out there.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
The sound is totaly irritating!

if i see these things flowin’ around, i am going to shoot ‘em. hee haw!

I think the first it will be useful on the top of the mountain Because of its wind power it will move down until the surface. The second is - you must use the hydrogenum to refil its baloon, that you receive from the extra sufficient energy cases - and only then you plans shall have a good chanses to be real!

this is dumb

You have some reading to catch up on. The region outside Amarillo Texas is the worlds major source of Helium. The problem is that we cannot synthesize Helium at present and like all resources overpopulation leading to excessive demand will consume it unless there are strict regulations to force users to recycle it. The good news is that it will force us to develop fusion and travel to the moon and neptune to mine the element.

you might want to catch up on your reading. this has been in the science news for several years already.

Do you think the narrator gets many jobs doing voice overs or just stephen Hawkin impressions?
April 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
you might want to check your numbers on that one… I’ve not heard anything about depleted supplies of helium.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Actually, that’s a really great concept: with one serious problem: world supplies of helium will be depleted (because of rapid over population and growth) within about 10 years, and projected new supplies will not keep up with demand, so I’m not sure what you could use to keep it aloft.

excellent

I think it’s sad you still don’t get my joke. So joke’s on you. Tool.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Gimme some statistics to back this up.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:22 am
FUCK… There are 3+ GW plants everywhere!!!

Go back to school kid… It takes tons of fuel to keep a couple hundred tons IN THE AIR! Take the power out of an aircraft and it crashes to the ground.
You don’t see any danger in bolting a structure to the ground that is lighter than air, so it paper thin, gets pushed around by wind yet has not powered control devices at all and hanging the weight of 2 semi trailors off it???… You make me laugh!

No. Most PEAK at 1GW. The rest are below it.
