@Mr. Think then which direction will the balloons go? Since in the video it goes downward cause we're one earth, i get that the balloon will not float away on its own in space, it should stay stationary, no?
I remember asking my 6th grade teacher "where does helium go in space?" She didn't comprehend my question.

@KSG this isn't true. The rate at which helium is escapes is extremely slow. Helium shortages happen when helium plants shut down. What we are running out of is the federal helium reserve. Helium is so easy to obtain nowadays that the US government has decided to let private companies produce it and is trying to get rid of its stockpile Edit: Forgot to mention that we can also make helium through any radioactive decay, as He-4 is identical to an alpha particle. As long as there is any radioactive substance on earth, there will be helium. Worst case scenario we can try to do nuclear fusion with hydrogen obtained from the electrolysis of water to artificially make helium too

@@josephmurphy417 I know it's said that there's no sound in space. But if you put a microphone inside the vacuum chamber, would it pick up anything from the expanding helium? Edit: Now I'm thinking there should be sound if it pops inside a vacuum chamber, as a balloon will probably pop before there is a complete vacuum. But what would happen if you put a microphone right next to a balloon or exploding object in space?

A litle bit of static "Baloon violently vibrating*
think of air as water, it’s easier to think of it that way
Idk why, but the balloon spazzing out after the air was reintroduced was hilarious to me.
I was starting to wonder if your vacuum chamber was okay. Glad to see it again.
Sorry, Action Lab - Helium balloons can’t fall in space without gravity
No wonder no one has birthdays on the moon
Meanwhile astronaut: Yeah.. ok ( flips himself upside down)
Wait a minute finally something that makes sense
When I asked myself this question. Action lab came to mind for the answer, but I googled it didnt understand the wording. Only to eventually search on youtube and boom! he actually did it and showed the process. Thank you very much. I am your number 1 supporter here in Trinidad and Tobago.
This is basically the physics of weather balloons as they reach the thinnest parts of the atmosphere.
What do you mean sorry? That sounds like budget space tennis to me
I was so ready in case a ballon pops
For those 3 people that are still struggling after seeing this short: The reason why helium goes up is because it wants to floats on air like wood on water, making air less dense makes the helium fall because the less dense air is lighter than the helium.
If this was in a physics quiz I would have 100% gotten the outcome wrong
Ruined all my plans , Is there even a point to have birthday party in space now ...
"... Sorry astronauts". What? Didn't they know that?
Helium falls on Earth too. It just lifts faster than it falls 😜
I think this is one of the few things I actually knew already for once.
BTW, vacuum is the most buoyant in air. the problem is, it's a bit hard to find a material light enough to allow the vacuum to float without caving into itself under the negative pressure.
You thought the astronauts didn't know that??
They would be able to play soccer on the moon! 😂
Makes sense, helium still has a weight, it's just buoyant
Remeber space has no gravity so it won’t go up or down it will just stay in the same place
I love how the balloon was breakdancing when the air got back in
Helium is less dense than air But with no air helium is heavy
When you just started learning density...
So helium can't just drift off to space, but would stay at a point. That is if the balloon doesn't pop like they usually do.
Gravity doing tricks as usual
The funny thing is, the helium balloons move up, not because they are lighter than air, but because a pressure of air at the bottom of the balloon is slightly higher than pressure of air at the top of the balloon. This is true, even if fluid is fully in-compressible, as in-compressible fluids in gravitational field (constant or slowly changing) still do have pressure gradient.
Funny how NASA & space tech is the worlds biggest users of Helium.
Fun fact: the minimum volume needed for you to float in water is ~1 cubic foot. Since air is 1000x less dense, you'd need a balloon with at least ~1000 cubic feet to float in the air (think of a cube 10x10x10 feet)
People on the space station are going to be very disappointed
Sound like an idea for doofensmirtz on how to get his bloon back
"Sorry Astronauts",saying it as if he knows even one Astronaut or the power of their innovation.
Well helium balloon won't float on the moon, you can still have an oxygen helium mix and have the astronaut sound really funny

Really appreciate your videos. Very helpful. Learning new things every day

This one was just common sense
Well, if it's in space, there should be zero gravity, where everything floats......
Helium falls in space because it needs to breath
The balloon doesn't even need to be filled with helium to see the effects of this, the less dense an object is the more air it will displace meaning that if you truly have a kilogram (in mass) of steel and a kilogram of feathers the steel will ACTUALLY be a measurable amount heavier than the feathers due to the displaced air creating more buoyant force on the feathers
GRAVITY?💀
I knew it that the balloons would pop lol
Looks like gravity is stronger than the " air " around the balloon.
@thefourshowflip

Since the chamber isn’t a “true” vacuum, then yes, this is an accurate way to describe the system; the buoyant forces are not sufficient to overcome the gravitational attraction in this environment.
It also wouldn't float well in the jovoan atmospheres, till it got below a certain height.
So that's why the ships in star wars all ways fall
Not only do they require air but they also require gravity.

So if it doesn't pop... Does that mean that a balloon would be trapped between space and earth forever?

They won't fall in space unless they're subject to gravity.

well technically it wouldn't fall either it would just kind of sit there like everything else.
@castleanthrax1833

Technically, no it wouldn't. It would move towards whatever has the biggest gravitational "pull".
Well, it also doesn’t go up because there isn’t really an up to go, in the vacuum of space it’ll pop, on a space station it’ll go away from any sort of gravity so it’d prob just slowly float away from the earth
How to prove to a flat earther that gravity exists and that gravity isn't buoyancy
Helium farts...
Technically nothing falls in space
Video caption is kind of misleading. In space there's nowhere to fall. Falling occurs under gravity.
Before you cut off the vacuum. Imma guess that the balloon is going to pop.
That balloon is so dramatic
Well than just fill it with air so that way it's always the same density...
Okay but why can I not find a demonstration of a balloon releasing its pressurized air in a vacuum anywhere on the internet
So basically if you send a hellium balloon in the space it will stay between the Earth and the space...
What if astronauts breathed in helium?
Pls put spaces between the dash. When I first read the title I thought there is a Astronaut-Helium
Yeah, that's how all things work: not the mythical gravity.
The real question is, if inhaled in space, would it still give you a high pitched voice?
And on the ISS it would just over in place, since there is no atmospheric pressure gradient. (Although it would get pulled around by the airflow of the air recyclers)
Do they always get all staticy after being in there? That's really weird
I feel like these experiments sound so much better in my head before I give my dad reasons as to why I need a vacuum chamber… but,alas, he’s not impressed…
So gravity is still a constant even in a vacuum chamber
That's where you're wrong: Outer space doesn't have enough gravity for it to fall!
In moons case there are more particles in it atmosphere than in a fully vacuumed chamber
Just have your birthday party upside down so they go the right way
If you turn upside down, it should start to go up
Astronauts hate him and his one sneaky trick
But if it was in space, which direction would it fall in???? Questions to be answered
If we want to float, take out air around us ( plus we can't breath too ) 😝🤪🤭
Sorry Action Labs, it doesn’t matter what’s in the balloon, it’s not going anywhere without gravity.
