Jerry, I'm going to have to share a patent with you.  Was just inspired by your post.  Am going to invent little thin contoured helium filled bra bladders for that special lifting effect.  And maybe start a sideline business for installation :coolblue: .

Capitol idea Mr. !!  I'm in for a franchise!

had the nitrogen salesman come by yesterday and we said no. for aircraft or racing vehicles i can see it but we have enough trouble keeping people from putting fixaflat and balancing fluid in there tires.  i know,i know its a gas and there is nothing wrong with it but i just don't see the need. just my two cents.  oh and helium filled bra bladers? you guys are killing me.  i got tears rolling down my face, ha ha ha .

they just had a piece on the news this week , here in the Atlanta area it runs about $40 to fill up your car tires with nitrogen .. they are saying it's better for fuel economy as the tire pressure remains more consistent... of course if you check your tires regularly .... you can save the $40 and use the free air

$40 bucks for something that I don't need... wow.... thats steep..... It is true that nitrogen is one of the inert gases therefore its response to temp. change in nominal, but this being said our tyres are designed to be cold filled with "air" and then ran to operating pressure.... this would allow for the expansion due to heat... and for the most part we are all operating within the normal operating parameters of said tyres, so there is no need to get alittle more from the tyre....

If I am going to spend $40 bucks on gas it is going to be the kind that goes in the tank not the tyres.....

I think that kind of business would be more important than worrying about nitrogen in bike tires. :P

(prior warning, uh oh)

You just reminded that the new venture would still need its advertising written.  My apologies to Dr. King.  But something like this :nixweiss: :


I speak with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.  We come together to speak of uplifting freedom for everyone.

Seven score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree freed men and helped forge a great nation.  But the boobies were not free.  Now we have a a great beacon of hope to millions of tiny or sagging boobies that have withered in this injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

Now one hundred and forty years later, the boobies shall be free.  Helium my sisters, helium shall set you free.  Rise up to no longer by crippled by the manacles of gravity and the chains of post lactation deflation.  Helium Inserts hallelujah.  No longer be segregated on that great island of perky.  Enjoy the mammary prosperity that Helium can bring to you.  I have a dream of proud breasts everywhere; standing tall, floating toward Freedom.

It was a 1-2 punch.  This one immediately followed by the same man's ruminations on Chip's center stand deployment issues.  I was down for the count sucking air for a minute :huepfenlol2: !

There was an article on the Formula 1 site recently; if anyone will do anything to gain a tenth of a percent in performance it's an F1 team.  Bridgestone, the tire supplier, said that moisture is the largest factor in pressure change with temperature.  Dry air is fine, dry nitrogen is a little better.  Unless you have an actual leak, molecular diffusion is why they lose pressure.  Water being a relatively large molecule it stays inside.  Those in the pipeline or welding fields will tell you that to find a small leak - use helium - very small molecule.
having been in the Pipeline and welding field for over 35 years, I have never heard of anyone testing with heliun to find a pin hole leak, We teet at 1.5 times the operating presure, for 500lb lines we test at 750lbs...with nitrogen...always have...the standard in the industry
