In this video I see what happens when you fill an air mattress with helium! Can you actually ride it like a magic carpet? Does it float. Then I try filling a bike tire with helium to see if it makes the bike tire any lighter. Then I talk about helium and why we are running out of helium. How is it produced and where is it going? Will we run out of helium on earth?

did you waste time testing that you would have thought that the helium tank should be flying or floating or that the helium tank would not be heavy because it would raise the helium

A pure hydrogen balloon won't explode if you light it on fire.
It'll burn as a rising fireball as the hydrogen escapes and you might ignite the latex
Now if I was sleeping in a small room with that mattress and it deflated, I'd be breathing in some really funny air.

We could also build vacuum balloons. If you find a material that is super lightweight and strong enough to withstand atmospheric pressure, you could make a balloon out of it, suck out (almost) all the air from inside and it will raise because it also displaces air and unlike helium or hydrogen, it has no density whatsoever, so it will raise even stronger.
You can float a medium size metal sphere with a thin wall (and filled with plain air) in Xenon gas. Rule of thumb (Archimedes law): the buoyancy force is equal the weight of the displaced medium (in your case air, in my case Xenon)
Those of us who are old enough to remember when Mythbusters was around knew that this was doomed from the beginning.

We used to use helium in air suspension for hopping. As he said the speed of helium. It charges to the air spring faster than air giving more energy at inflation.
Another thing we noticed was the molecules were smaller and able the permeate the air spring. So if you had one full of C02, 02, and helium, the helium one would deflate as the molecules passed through the rubber.
it's even worse for hydrogen - it slowly escapes from aluminium tanks through the crystal itself

In order to float, the total density would need to be less than that of air. The density of air is approximately 1.225 kg/m³. If the weight of the man, clothing, mattress, and the gas is, 100kg, you would need the composite volume of 81.633 m³ to float. If your bedroom is 4m x 4m x 4m, your bedroom is smaller than this.
This is why we have a helium shortage
It made me cringe seeing all of that helium wasted!
He should have used hydrogen instead of wasting such a precious gas. That actually gives slightly more lift than helium and is not that dangerous if you make shure to have no flames or hot objects nearby (also - since it's contained in the mattress, it will not ignite just because of a small spark or static electricity)
I know this is a joke or at least I think it is, but the sun has a shit ton of helium, more than we could ever use.

The US government has been hoarding helium since the 1870s. The Hindenburg disaster was caused by the US not selling Germany helium, and it wasn't be cause if Hitler, we wouldn't have even considered parting with that much to anyone for any price at that time. The US has also been fracking for natural gas so should have too much, but oddly, we have too little.

Hindenburg caught alight due to the paint used on the canvas when it made contact with its holding stand, it caused a spark that ignited its paint thus the way it started from the top of the ship and went across it in seconds whereas if the hydrogen was at fault it would’ve caused an explosion then self extinguish as the gas would’ve burned off.
This is why airships of today (50 years) are made of a rubber compound developed by Goodyear.

Thanks heaps for the great explanation. So would the helium when it's first released from the balloon and is still together, initially start to rise up and stop after it spreads too far? Or does it just disperse as soon as it hits the air? Then would the helium particles just randomly move around in the air? Is there any attraction for the helium atoms to be drawn to each other like we see with liquids? Or for example how smoke accumulates at the top of a room. I'm assuming the density is sufficient for it to displace the air however doesn't that still require the smoke atoms to stay together. For example would one of those smoke atoms if taken and placed in air float to the top? If not what keeps the smoke atoms together so that it can displace enough air to float. Wouldn't they just disperse into the air as well?
i found this really interesting so i wanna try and answer. i think a good way to think about helium in air is to compare it to something like pouring really salty/sugary water into plain water, but upside down. the denser liquid stays together and sinks for a little bit, but in a tall enough glass would eventually spread out and mix with the plain water until the densities were the same. similarly the helium would rise for a bit before spreading out. also, there isn’t any attraction between helium atoms, they are completely non-polar. the molecules sticking together is actually what determines if a substance is solid/liquid/gas at a certain temp, so water needs to be pretty sticky to not just turn into vapour. helium is so not attracted to itself that you need to get it extremely cold temps before it can stay as a liquid. for the smoke, i looked into it a bit and i think it’s because smoke only rises when it’s hot, and it can only cool down by bumping into cooler molecules. that means that when the smoke is all together, it doesn’t lose much heat and once it hits the ceiling there isn’t anywhere to spread out so it stays as a pocket of warm air. smoke that’s cool would i think be denser than air, especially the particles that you can see which i believe are just tiny bits of carbon. hope this makes sense :)
What he said about the helium stopping after a while is bullshit. It's lighter than air, than any atmosphere- it keeps rising and leaves the atmosphere and into space where it disperses as any gas does in space. It's the only element that passes through the atmosphere and escapes into space naturally. No helium resides in the atmosphere- it's all just passing through. And as for salty water and fresh, there are undersea places where layers of brine do not mix with normal seawater, and places where fresh and salt stay seperate in layers.
Interesting! At 7:47 (no, not a jumbo jet, but still flying high) some of here guesses have to do with the solar winds… it could be that the helium + ions are getting ejected from the earth’s atmosphere due to the polar winds…
Hmmm, so the Solar Winds are the culprits… which in turn are the Polar Winds… now… if it were the Northern Polar Winds, would the helium + ions be attracted or repelled? And what happens in turn to the heｰ ion, will it be attached to the positive polar winds … I mean solar winds… dang, I’m so confuzed now!

A cubic metre of air weighs around 1kg. Even if the air mattress had weighed just 1kg, it would need to have a volume of 1 cubic metre to have neutral buoyancy even with a vacuum inside. Add the weight of the helium (about 0.17kg at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature) and you'd need around 1.2 cubic metres. This mattress weighed over three times that and a tape measure would tell you it's barely a cubic metre in volume.
We’re having a shortage of helium and this is what the remaining of helium is being used for?
Luxury Inc that and blowing up balloons
Fun fact: NASCAR pit teams found that the tool (forget it's name) that puts in the bolts that hold wheels in the car are about a tenth of a second faster when using compressed helium instead of compressed air
Once this discovery was made it ruled that they cannot use helium for these tools, specifically because of the shortage
@Luxury Inc as a refrigerant, for example in superconducting magnets for MRI scanners. It’s literally saving people’s lives.
Superconductors that would already work with liquid nitrogen like YBCO would be way too expensive/fragile to build a huge electromagnet out of them. There are cheaper and easier to work with superconductors like Niobium, but that requires liquid helium cooling.
