Balloon Info: About Us; What is Helium?

Helium

Helium, how does it make a balloon float anyway?

How Helium Balloons Work

There is something incredibly neat about helium balloons! If you buy one at the circus or fair, you can hold its string and it will ride along above you. If you let go of the string, it will fly away until you can't see it anymore.

If you have ever wondered why it flies away, then read on.

Floating in General

Most of us feel comfortable with the idea of something floating in water. We see that happen every day. In fact, people themselves float in water, so we have a way of directly experiencing water flotation. The reason why things float in water applies to air as well.

Helium balloons work by the same law of buoyancy. In this case, the helium balloon that you hold by a string is floating in a "pool" of air.

Well, what can I say! My brother was delighted with the chocolates and balloon, which arrived yesterday. Thank you so much - it gladdens my heart to find a company who will just go that extra mile to please and rectify a very small omission! I will most definitely use your company again and have already sung your praises to everybody I've spoken to.

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your fantastic service.
I ordered balloons to be sent to my daughters college in Woking on Wednesday 8th March.
They arrived at the predicted time and were very impressive. Thank you. It really made her day special.
