Answer 8

helium lift is approximately 1 gram of lift per 1 liter.

so if you and a lawn chair, ropes and the ballons themselves way 100#  or 44800 grams that is the minimum amount of gas in liters at 1 atmosphere you need. now add about 3-5% for margine and up you go.

how many ballons even 5 foot weather ballons it's alot but it can be done just ask that guy in Los Angles who reached 20000 feet and was reported by airliner pilots.

Answer 20

If you mean party balloons they did an experiment on the TV show MYTH BUSTERS about that.  They did it inside of a hanger.  The idea was to see how many helium filled party balloons on strings would it take to lift an infant or small child into the air.  They spent a whole night blowing up balloons and attaching them with strings to a dummy the size and weight of a small child.  The conclusion if I remember correctly the count was over 1000, busting the myth that trying to hold too many balloons could lift a child into the sky.

A saw another show about a man that went airborne in a lawn chair with much larger balloons attached.

Answer 21

I don't know exactally what balloons you are talking about but I believe a hot air balloon will help just pack supplies when you go because you never know where you'll end up.

Answer 22

well, you can use one big hot air ballon or like 100 helium filled balloons, it doesnt make you 'fly' but it gets you off the ground.

but we were younger and a whole lot lighter in weight so, yea i dont know.

Answer 23

Balloons won't help you fly, that only works in cartoons... Unless you get a hot air balloon, but then only one...

Answer 24

I dont actually know the answer but they tested that theory on an episode of mythbusters, im sure it is on you tube or something. Good Luck!

Answer 25

Actually, you need to find the lifting capability of either Helium, or Hydrogen. I once calculated , me weighing around 260 lbs, that it would take a 20 foot diameter helium balloon to lift my weight. I forget what the cubic feet of helium was, but it would cost about $2,500 to fill it , at the time. It's not cheap to get helium in that quantity.
