    Make sure you aren't in a small room with it then.

    When we quenched the big NMR magnets, even in a high-roofed manufacturing space, it knocked the flies out the ceiling. There was also a service engineer (not one of ours) die in the US.

    It is pretty cool though...

    Ah but that's Balloon Gas, not Balloon Helium

    BOC might sell some gas that contains O2 as well but it might not be the same as that Woz is referring to. Keith's and Bantam's gasses contained close to none so the jury is still out.

    MSDS from Air Products https://apdirect.airproducts.com/msd...px?docid=63367 and https://apdirect.airproducts.com/msd...px?docid=63579

    They talk about 100% He.

    So does Woz deal with BOC or Air Products?

    As Curt Bowen once said

    I have thousands of hours diving Balloon Helium and welding grade 02 and I seem to be OK.


    Personaly

    I dont care because i dive a CCR so Helium cost is not an issue.

    +1, the bottle I stuck an O2 analyser on was 0% O2.

    The next question I guess is, has anyone ever analysed it and found O2?

    I tried it on a helium balloon my lad got from Pizza Hut and it had O% O2.

    Son not impressed when he found out his balloon had gone down the following morning
