Science QuestionI had an idea last night, and I want opinions on whether or not it may work....I want to design a 'bubble suit' that fits over the entire body. There will be a breathing mechanism built in, and will be airtight...once the suit is on, all the air will be removed and repaled with helium..... If done properly, would I be able to 'swim' through the air?? I'm not kidding either.....it sounds possible to me, but I can be a real idiot sometimes!! I want to float and learn to 'swim' 5 or 6 feet off the ground..... Possible? Opinions? |

No it is not possible. Unless you build a bubble that is a little bigger then a football feild. Then agian you still wouldn't be that high off the ground. It takes large amounts of helium in prder to lift a person. You are also talking about lifting a breathing mechonism which is another 30 or so pounds. | ||

i like the idea, ill try it one day | ||
| gort |
Dang!!!
I'm sure there is a way.....different gas....replacing blood with helium....something!! Refracting diametrically opposed magnetic fields.....SOMETHING!!! |
||
| Olikunmissile |
last one may work...
give me a while to think it over |
||
| Pariah |
Well there is one way you could fly. Make a personal jet pack. It would take some time but you can go with the original model made by the military. | ||
| gort |
Nah.....old technology!
We need to think out of the box here, people!! I was promised a jet pack since I was a kid....nothing yet! Now.....it's up to me.... *puts on science goggles* |
||
| Olikunmissile |
*puts on lab coat*

*hic* Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait. What are we doing? |
||
| Olikunmissile |

| Pariah |
I am gonna step away from this area. I don't want to be blown away from huge explosion with you start using them alkai checmicals. | ||
| gort |
Not yet.....we need a hobo to practice on.....and a BUNCH of helium.....
Be back in a minute!! |
||
| gort |
DUDE!!! Just put on your 'science goggles'!! You'll be fine!!! Trust Dr. Gort....... Hehehehe..... (I think we found our practice 'hobo'....) |
||

I totally agree! | ||
| 1B-DI |
You only say that because he's giving you the majority of the profits! 
|
||
| Pariah |
Its true. So true. |
||
| gort |

Profits to P-man?? What?? *grabs trademarked GORTco money bat* What??? |
||
| Pariah |
You said it right there. We had a verbal agreement and by law I get the rest of your profits. 
Don't you just love verbal agreements? |
||
| gort |

| Pazuzu |
*Decontaminates herself as she leaves the thread*
Yeah, good luck! |
||
| gort |
But Paz!!!........We need another science girl to help with science stuff.... | ||
| 1B-DI |
I just had an idea. You could try to make a rocket pack with Diet Coke and Mentos
|
||
| gort |
I don't think so........too sticky!!!
Plus the obvious fact that it wouldn't work!!! Do the fruit Mentos work also?? Those are the ones I like!!! |
||
| Pazuzu |
I think now is a good time to explain the cat-toast theory... some of you may have heard of it
Murphy's law states that toast always land butter side down and we know that cats always land on their feet so if you strap buttered toast to the back of a cat it will not be able to hit the ground since the toast must land butter side down and the cat must land on its feet, thereby creating an antigravity device! |
||
| gort |
That's hilarious!!!
First time I ever heard that......just the phrase 'cat-toast-theory' cracked me up!!!
|

| 1B-DI |
I have heard that one! I wanna try it some time, but I love my cat, sooo...
And no, Gort, the fruit Mentos don't work. They aren't porous enough. |
||
| Pazuzu |
Yeah, I love cats too much to try it on any cat!!! | ||
