On Wednesday, August 15th, Bob Snead and I attempted to lift a gallery owner into the air with a massive bunch of balloons for a magazine photo shoot. We failed miserably. I have failed many times, but this was one of the worst, definitely an epic black spot. This video is our story.

    So weird to see that many balloons not working.

    Apparently it was the 16 inch balloons. Too much material and surface area in proportion to helium per balloon. Plus, in such a large bunch, there are forces working against themselves in too many directions which counteracts the upward pull.

    yeah, i think i read somewhere that it retty much wont work no matter how many you have, because of exactly that.

    The biggest problem was that we took way too long to blow up the balloons. Mythbusters did a similar stunt on letterman a couple years back. The difference was they had a crew of 30 professional balloon ninjas, and it took about 4 hours. We had no ninjas and it took us 16 hours. check it
