Would helium in a balloon be considered a “gas” (not allowed)?
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedA helium balloon would not be allowed as a means of motion (see B7):
The energy of the mousetrap spring is responsible for the motion of the device.
In regards to balloons in general, the gases held in a balloon can not be released as a means of energy, since a balloon releasing gases would be considered another source of stored energy.
