I really need one of those.

They are fun, fly really well. Only problem is that they would work best in a large area. And they are a pain to store. Worth it I think though.

And you would probably lose it if you tried it outside.

[–]Hime_Takamura 0 points1 point ago

actually, you could try filling it half way with just your breath and the other half with helium, then it kind of hovers (but ultimately sinks). It works with normal balloons, I don't know if it would work with these though.

Adding weights would be more practical, as you can remove them.

[–]CptOblivion 1 point2 points ago

Too much work. It's better to carefully balance the gasses in the balloon using your breath so as to result in a total weight equal to that of the surrounding air.

[–]Hime_Takamura 0 points1 point ago

that's true, but it may be hard to find just the right weight.

[–]nitefang 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It comes with weights to put in it, a lump of putty you can break apart and put in a container on the balloon. it is actually very well made and very creatively designed.

Does this work underwater? Fill a ballon with 50% air and 50% water?

[–]Hime_Takamura 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think these would work underwater, considering they have an electric motor.

[–]NotSoGoodAtPhotoshop 1 point2 points ago

Not those, just regular balloons. Would they still rise? Our would they stay where you left them?

[–]Hime_Takamura 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think they would float on the surface, but the part filled with water would be submerged.

[–]sdn 0 points1 point ago

As helium & air are less dense than water, then the balloon will rise. In fact, they'll likely just pop.

[–]nitefang 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yea, if you walk past them they get pulled off course. The wind would take them in a heartbeat.

I read an article on Yahoo two days ago about this, but I didn't think they "adapted" this much.

They're called Air Swimmers if you didn't already find it via google. But they don't even seem to have purchase info on that page anymore. You can still find 'em via Amazon though...

I love thinkgeek.. it is where I bought one for my 7-year-old. The truth is I bought it for the same reason OP did... to terrorize our felines ;)

[–]greyfoxv1 1 point2 points ago

Or you can just buy them off ebay instead of paying ThinkGeek's stupid high shipping fees.

[–]Sacrifizem 2 points3 points ago

do these require helium to fly? Helium is scarce in my country hence very expensive..
