Bon soir. Fun facts re Helium. Please add as you wish30 Apr 2021 19:19
First question. Can we make Helium? Answer YES.
So I'm not ramping. Anyhow a bit of background to that.
There is no chemical way of manufacturing Helium, and the supplies we have originated from the decay that occurs in rocks. It costs....get ready
..10000 times more to extract Helium from air than it does natural gas resources.
Ok that's intriguing.
Next point who and what is Helium used by/for?
Firstly NASA uses 75 million cubic feet annually. That's noteable.
So your help next. Where is Helium used?
Are you using a computer, internet smartphone? Yep that needs Helium.
Other uses. MRI magnets. Cleaning rocket fuel tanks and airbags, oh and balloons. But yes the internet requires it. Whether it comes via land based IPs or the ones up there in space.
Please add to other uses of Helium and its importance going forward.
I did smile when a poster earlier did mention about getting Beaker from the muppet show to be part of the presentation next Thursday. Anyhow. Appreciate your input.
