What household items are made from helium?

Answer 1

The properties of each rare gas dictate its specific commercial applications. Because they are the most abundant, and therefore the least expensive to produce, helium and argon find the most commercial applications. Helium's low density and inertness make it ideal for use in lighter-than-air craft, such as balloons and blimps. Although helium has nearly twice the density of hydrogen, it has about 98% of hydrogen's lifting power. A little over 324.7 gal (1,230 l) of helium lifts 2.2 lb (1 kg). Helium is also nonflammable and therefore considerably safer than hydrogen, which was once widely used in gas-filled aircraft. Liquid helium has the lowest boiling point of any known substance (about -452°F; -269°C) and therefore has many low-temperature applications in research and industry. Divers breathe an artificial oxygen-helium mixture to prevent gas bubbles forming in the blood as they swim to the surface from great depths. Other uses for helium have been in supersonic wind tunnels, as a protective gas in growing silicon

and germanium crystals and, together with neon, to make gas lasers

Answer 2

helium is a noble gas, it doesn't get made into anything.

It's used to inflate balloons and blimps since it's lighter than air.

It is also used in some (very deep) Scuba diving.

Answer 3

What are some things that might be made out of

Helium in your house!?!

Answer 4

In helium balloons and blimps. Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will float or rise up
