    I like the irony that we imagine the reason a lead balloon "goes down like a lead balloon" is that it's too heavy, when actually it's because it's too delicate.

      As someone already pointed out, it also requires (1) a metric ton of exacting research, (2) extremely careful construction and execution, (3) faith and dogged persistence and (4) spools of adhesive tape and baling wire to hold the prototype together long enough to float the concept and prove the point.
      After that, if the vision holds its value, further research and engineering may find some way to make the idea, if not the original mode of execution, practical. That's how the space race began, way back with Tsiolkovsky and Goddard. Great ideas, but really tough to put it together and make it work.

      Yes and no. Yes, the Helium would remain separate as it's lighter and will float on top of the air. No, the reason the bottom of the balloon droops is because of the weight of Lead, not because there is air down there. Helium can only lift on the top of the balloon, so even if it was 100% Helium the bottom would still droop.

      That's actually not true at all. Hydrogen is far more prone to leaking than helium is. Hydrogen, as the smallest stable molecule can leak through seemingly solid steel if it's not made in just the right way through gaps in it's atomic structure.
      That property is one of the biggest reasons why despite being factually the best possible fuel hydrogen wasn't used as a main fuel in rockets till the Saturn V. Even now they try to avoid using hydrogen when possible unless they truly need the absolute best power for pound rocket they can get.
      Most rockets today still use kerosene because despite it having a lower energy density than hydrogen it is just far easier to handle. It's also why the space shuttle had that disposable fuel tank because making a reusable vessel for hydrogen was just too difficult.
      On cars the danger is a little less so since they have smaller fuel tanks where are easier to seal and they don't sit idle for as long. Even so with most hydrogen vehicles they advice to avoid leaving it idle with a full tank for a long period of time cause hydrogen will leak out of the tank through microscopic imperfections in the tank. It is just something that can't be avoided.

      For those wondering, that’s because hydrogen is made up of one proton and 1 electron, while helium is made up of 2 proton, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons, or 4 times larger. Though there are also 2 types (isotopes) of hydrogen that are larger than normal hydrogen, deuterium (1 of each) and tritium (1 proton and electron and 2 neutrons).

    I came here just for btd 5 jokes in the comments. And THIS lead baloon is easily pierced by an arrow or even by a dart.
    "Super Monkey would shred this apart"
    It would, like with any baloon. But then it would run out of darts to throw. Also Super Monkey sucks unless you are talking temple(even which I don't particularly like). Dartling guns are way more effective and are the best tower in the game.
    "There are 4 btds"
    The leads were introduced in the second game. However now every attacking tower has an upgrade to pop lead. Still a threat though.

    I think a lead zeppelin would actually be easier. Sheet over a rigid frame and then just pump in helium and drive out the air until it lifts off. It'd be a bit heavier than the balloon but they had to add air to keep the balloon from taking off anyway, so they could probably still use enough pure helium and keep the frame light enough for it to be buoyant.

    • @MrMarinus18
      @MrMarinus18 Год назад +1

      Actually it's not. The biggest problem with zeppelins was that when they turn, due to their size, there an enormous amount of stress put on the structure and the material. Rips in the cloth covering or the gasbags were very common.

      Don't want to burst your balloon (if you'll pardon the pun), but lead foil wouldn't be sufficiently thick to block any dangerous radiation levels, it would easily stop alpha and beta particles, but high energy gamma and x-rays would blast right though it. Nice lateral thinking though....
