Brand New, High Quality Balloon. 800g Hwoyee HY-800
36” Qualatex silver “foil” balloon - used for “pico” SuperPressure flights.
These balloons have an approximate weight of 37g and a approximate internal volume of 0.1cu m before envelope stretching. This means they can lift payloads of approx. 60g (or slightly more if you allow for stretching). Experimenters typically aim for payloads of the order of 10 - 20g per balloon in order to attempt to make them float (no guarantee of that is offered).
The material thickness is approximately 30 microns.
Silver balloons are used to minimise the thermal gain effects.
Note: The manufacturer marks these balloons as not for outdoor release.
