He should “compress” all the helium into a small metal container to protect from punctures but still retaini its buoyancy. /s

I thought about this for a moment, then I remembered the whole density thing.

Yes, I do. I believe in the open concept submarine that utilizes a shared indoor / outdoor experience. Very refreshing!

I know everyone is goofing on this. But I keep thinking back to that experiment where they put a cube of superconductor on a tray of dry ice or liquid nitrogen or something and it conducts enough of a charge to repel the Earth’s magnetic field and float.

What if something like that could be done at more reasonable temperatures? It might not make flying cars, but could it be used as a weight “reducer”?
