Ghost1980

If you blew up balloons, how many balloons would it take to make a person fly?

Lulu ??
with helium? an adult would take about 6200. We know human air doesn't work because people who are full of it don't fly away we're still stuck with them.

zero, you need helium blowing them up

If you filled them with air, all the balloons in the world wouldn't pick you up. You'd have to fill them with something that's lighter than air - hydrogen or helium, perhaps.

It would take thousands of helium balloons to lift a grown man into the air. Possibly tens of thousands.

If you got ahold of much larger balloons, like surplus weather balloons, you'd only need a few to do it. That's what "Lawn Chair Larry" did in 1982. He floated to 16,000 feet over Los Angeles (His flight earned him the altitude record for manned clustered-balloon flight, an FAA fine, and a prize from the Bonehead Club of Dallas.) Read about it at www.darwinawards.com and search for Lawn Chair Larry

a billion


Marias
alot... that would be cool to try...


jesse j
depends on the weight they did this on myth busters check discovery.com


Dean B
Only one if its big enough.


mrsannman
you will only need one......a hot air balloon...even get a basket to ride in


Bubbles
zero. helium is the ONLY thing that you could use to keep the balloon up


skep-doc
MythBusters did this one.under controlled circumstances...there was a guy back in the 70's I think who actually did it though.

But you can't blow them up, expired air is mostly CO2,which is "heavier than air". You need something very bouyant like Helium

ALOT no its not alot its ALOOOOTTTTTTT and for the person to get down they pop baloons one by one


she_she_kay
Depends on what they weigh I would imagine.


ala86
I don't know - but there is a funny movie about this called "Danny Deckchair" I believe it is a Brittish film.... It is worth renting


Kirstin

Airzy
Mythbusters lifted a 3 year old child with 3500 baloons. so ALOT.
