Instead of air or nitrogen...
would Helium make any difference to use for tire inflation? Would you be able to notice any weight reduction? just a passing thought.

No. It would be mere ounces lighter, more expensive, and perhaps most importantly, helium molecules are smaller than those of nitrogen or air, and will thus leak out quicker.

Errrrrr......no. Volumetric pressure is different than weight.

I read through your other posts and saw you weren't...well...someone who would post that seriously.

Glad no one has forgotten Tom Terrific and the ball thing.
What are we avoiding using something besides garden variety air? Less pressure change with temperature? Admirable enough idea, but it seems a lot of trouble. Moon |
