are all those balloons filled with helium?

if they are I'd imagine you'd be able to get some serious lift if you held onto both ends of the arch. It might even lift you off the ground..
have you ever tried?

From http://www.cockeyed.com/science/helium/helium.shtml

A typical helium-filled balloon on a ribbon can lift 4.8 grams.


How many balloons would be required to lift even a 50 kg person (light person)?

4.8 g = 0.0048 kg

50 kg / 0.0048 kg/balloon = 10,416 balloons

I estimate barely 150 balloons in the picture.

Yes



and all but the very bottom of each side of the arch are filled with helium. About 3 rows on each side.

Nice estimate about 200 balloons were used in this arch. and Yes I did hold booth ends, no you can not get any lift from it, well just your arms.

I have this feeling we are going to see FuDDx one day doing the balloons in the Olympics; his giggs getting bigger and bigger, no pun intended. Don't run out of gas man, go go go -

If he ever gets the oppurtunity, don't forget about Teamliquid in one of those cute balloons..

The bottom is filled with air to save on money and time. Out regular tanks can fill about 200 11-12 inch balloons. With so many of them filled with helium the bottom ones do not need to be inflated with helium.

The air filled bottoms do not add or take away anything when building an arch. We could have gone further up with air as well.

oh. when i read the title of the thread i thought that he somehow changed his foot type (flat foot, overpronated, etc) by using some new high tech shoe but this is much cooler.
