Helium, where to get...?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I need helium for a child's toy. Can you buy it here in maybe small canisters ? I always see helium inflated balloons at temple fairs etc., so I guess that you must be able to find it somewhere !? Thanks !

get some hydrogen, heat it to 10x the temperture at the core of the sun and you've got free helium (and enough spare heat to run a power station). there's a place in France that's working on it now.

Smartypants. Everybody knows that's far too expensive way to produce helium for a person who wishes to fill a toy with it.

Far more cheaper way is to get a good chunk of granite, cover it and simply wait for a while for alpha decay to happen. After few million years it's time to collect the helium.
