If i have a unpoppable latex suit and i fill it up with 100 tons of helium gas will i float yes or no and y?

yes or no and y





No off topic stuffIf i have a unpoppable latex suit and i fill it up with 100 tons of helium gas will i float yes or no and y?
Yes





A helium ballon has about ~65% lift ratio, meaning it can lift ~65% of its weight, thats 65 tonnes.





100 ton is a lot of helium.If i have a unpoppable latex suit and i fill it up with 100 tons of helium gas will i float yes or no and y?
Unless I misunderstood what you meant by ';suit'; which for me is a piece of clothing, I would say no. Simple common sense tells me that if you would fill a latex suit with a 100 tons of that gas it would remain on the ground since it would obviously need to be in liquid state, you would not even be able to move it. Even so... I think you wouldn't be able to fit that much liquid helium in the suit to begin with.





Since helium is I believe 5.6x lighter than air(1 liter of air = 1gram, helium is only 0.1785 gram) at equal volume, then to fit a 100 tons of it in one single suit would mean that it would be either a very very very large suit or the helium would be liquid, which would make the helium much heavier than air so... It's a definite NO since a suit big enough to hold a 100 tons of gas would be huge and not called a suit no more but more like a gigantic balloon.





I did some quick calculations and a 100 tons of helium (200000 pounds or 90718.5 kilos) would take up the space of a 8 kilometer cube approx(12.8 miles). 508226890756 cubic centimeter to be exact.





I don't know how much you weight but a 20' balloon(10' radius) would be able to lift something around 260 pounds.
