Helium - a chemical element with symbol He and atomic number 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first in the noble gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling point is the lowest among all the elements.
After hydrogen, helium is the second lightest and second most abundant element in the observable universe, being present at about 24% of the total elemental mass, which is more than 12 times the mass of all the heavier elements combined. Its abundance is similar to this figure in the Sun and in Jupiter. This is due to the very high nuclear binding energy (per nucleon) of helium-4 with respect to the next three elements after helium. This helium-4 binding energy also accounts for why it is a product of both nuclear fusion and radioactive decay. Most helium in the universe is helium-4, and is believed to have been formed during the Big Bang. Large amounts of new helium are being created by nuclear fusion of hydrogen in stars.

Nothing works with unselected time. Why?
Thanks a lot.
Hallo, im Bereich unselected time bewegt sich gar nix mehr. Wieso? Wer hat einen Tipp? Vielen Dank

Does anyone deal with liquid Helium recovery from research instrumentation? For an NMR, apprently the steps are: collection of boiled off Helium, compression into a cylinder, purification through refrigerated fractioning (everything else cools to a liquid first while helium stays as a gas), and then very cold refrigeration to liquefy the helium.
How important is the purification? I know it affects precision in research results. Can you reasonably get away with it and just accept lower precision? Or do the other games just wreck the instrument or even liquefaction equipment?
Hello, i need help finding and purchasing a tank of helium or nitrogen either is fine
i just want to buy a small helium tank for myself. thats all
Can someone explain these systems to me?
looking to do a bit off welding but dont want to rent and will use and refill at my own pace, most of these distributers appear to be rental on a direct debit monthly basis . as i am not an organisation and on an individual basis this is not ideal
I'm not sure if this post is suitable here or not.We are the manufacturer of helium leak detector .
I wrote some articles about HLD application.Hope you're interested.helium leak detector application
Can our equipment be repurposed? I would like to set up a text only network that would resemble the original bbs of the past. It would be nice to have a network that governments don’t have control over for passing message traffic.
Do we own the equipment? Could you run a bbs locally that could be accessed. I’m talking in text only 75baud.
Hi I’m just asking the helium community a question I need answered,it’s a serious question the 1 man tent is roughly 4-5 foot diameter and roughly 4 foot high inside.and answers greatly appreciated thankyou
I have bought the disposable Baloon Time canisters from both Walmart and part city. They suck at keeping regular latex balloons afloat. I recently discovered that they are actually only 80% helium!!!! No wonder! But that is the brand that seems to be carried everywhere. Where can I get more pure helium in the U.S.? I have an event coming up and would like the ease of disposable canisters with a better helium content.
I want to be the silliest man at the function. Would constructing a helium pen, a pen that you can hit to get an instant high voice, be safe or even feasible?
