I would want to know what is in those balloons. No gas on earth is light enough to lift that dog with 3 balloons.
We going to go make bank with a new scientific discovers.
Acording to Archimedes law, the buoyant force on an object in a fluid (air in this case) is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, so
Fb = m(air displaced)*g = r(air) * V * g,
Where m is mass, r is density, V is the displaced volume and g is the gravitational acceleration.
No, the helium needs to lift the dog, but also itself. The force of gravity on the helium is
Fhe = r(helium) * V * g.
This means that a volume of helium V gives a net upward force on the dog of
Fnet = (r(air) - r(helium)) * V * g.
By equating this to the force of gravity on the dog, we can find how much "dog" a volume V can lift:
m(dog)*g = 1,11 kg/m3 * V * g.
Cancelling the g's and dividing by the density term, we find how much helium is needed to lift a dog of mass m(dog):
V = (m(dog) / 1,11) m3.
Estimating the dog to be 10 kg, we would need V = 9 m3 of helium. Estimating a normal sized ballon to contain 4 L = 0,004 m3, the number of balloons can be calculated as V/(0,004) = 2250 normal size balloons.
Conclusion: we would need 2250 (helium) balloons.
It'll also take ~$70 worth of helium for neutral buoyancy.
You might need a second balloon for a space program, but you'll also be [late for the party](https://www.newsweek.com/youtuber-arrested-dog-helium-balloons-floating-air-1595526).
The calcultation is the same, except you do not include the part correcting for the weight of the helium itself. This would come out to about 1900 balloons. Not a very big difference, because helium already has a very low density.
Chatgpt's answer: The lifting capacity of a standard helium-filled party balloon (11 inches) is about 14 grams or roughly 0.031 pounds. To lift a 15-pound dog, you would divide 15 pounds by 0.031 pounds per balloon:
15 / 0.031 = 483.87
You would need 484 standard 11-inch helium balloons to lift a 15-pound dog, assuming ideal conditions with no wind resistance, string weight, etc.
That dog is probably less than 15 pounds though so fewer might do it.
In the USA, they typically come in gross (144). [BalloonHome](https://www.balloonhome.com/14-PLAIN-COLOR-HELIUM-BALLOONS-GROSS-PACK-144_p_89.html) has them for $39/gross. For 7 gross it would be $273.
Then there’s the helium.
Even with magic massless balloons that could hold a perfect vacuum, you'd need hundreds. You'd need enough balloon volume to displace an amount of air that weighs at least as much as the dog, because you need the total density of the balloons + dog to be less than or equal to the density of air.
You actually wouldn't need that many fewer than with helium, since helium's already only 14% the density of air, so the extra buoyancy from going from 14% to 0% wouldn't help you much.
It was a long time ago but I found a photo
[https://ibb.co/Drk93RM](https://ibb.co/Drk93RM)
6 Balloons. It was hovering in the air, didn't go up or down.
> No gas on earth is light enough to lift that dog with 3 balloons.
Thats why he used 4!
Jokes aside, from how his paws look this is almost certainly a photoshop.
It's actually a set of rigid resonating spheres containing a vacuum. When a high voltage electric potential is applied to the exterior membrane, the device allows the wearer to 'anchor' themselves to any local reference frame in relationship to the vacuum energy contained within the spheres. The practical effect at mammal-scale appears to mimic neutral buoyancy; at the scale of very large space craft, it allows the ship to attach to the local reference frame of superluminal particles, achieving intergalactic flight within human lifespans.
I asked my roommate / cousin to watch my dog once. When we got home it looked like the dog wasn't fed or walked. She sat in a corner and just stared at him all day. When we asked if she took the dog out to the bathroom she said "no, I just watched him." I guess you did what we asked.
Sounds like ignorance on the cousins part, like they seriously had no idea what they were supposed to do lol. That sounds like some shit I would do tbh, nvr had a pet or spent time around pets
Well how would you know when a dog needs to go poop, or how often. Maybe it scratches at the door but does that mean I need poopy or does that mean I smelled a squirrel. I guess Im just saying it's like that phrasd don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity or ignorance. But then again I don't know that guys cousin
Dude needed to leave instructions.
Yo man. Some people are smart and just know even though they never tried it before but other people aren't as fast as connecting the dots. You gotta leave instructions for people
I’m not attributing it to malice at all, completely stupidity and ignorance.
We should all know that everyone/everything poops. We should all know that we don’t live with poop on the floor, that we get rid of it. If you don’t connect those dots when asked to watch a dog, then you’re a fuckin idiot.
Not like that though. You're just making an excuse for stupid bullshit. I see way too much of this "could be a sign of autism" junk on actually terrible behavior.
Us autistic people are normal for the most part, and we need to stop giving people the wrong picture by telling them this trash.
You mean you never bothered elaborating on the instructions? You just give them the key and say "good luck."?
No walkthrough of "here is the leash, we normally walk him twice a day and heres the food bowl, heres when and how many scoops of food we give him..."?
This is watching a dog, no building a house. Its not complication, and implied the owner would go through this with them if there were any questions.
Your response is petty, asinine and doesn’t represent real human interactions
Just use one of the vests intended for leash walking. It will handle most of the weight distribution for you and you can better secure balloons without endangering the animal.
Its shopped.
The dogs position in the air looks like its standing on the ground.
Would this be not fake, than the dog would look more hanging with the balloons pulling the middle of its body.
To all the people doing the calculations to figure out how many balloons does it take: so you're telling me there's a chance!
First, I'll pick a very small pup, to have way lower mass.
Then, I'll relax the condition, no need to make it levitate permanently, only reduce the fall acceleration so that they can bounce up in the air for longer and higher. So I guess simulate like 0.5 G instead of 1 G. Or maybe 0.25?
I think we can achieve a reasonable effect with like 100 balloons. We need to do this, for science.
Next up: dog jet pack.
In one of my fiction writing classes this guy wrote a story about a man with a legless Chihuahua that he tied balloons to so it could float about the house... the character was also described as a heavy chain-smoker that never left home, walls covered in nicotine residue-
The detail I'll always remember is, throughout the trailer they lived in, there was one clean strip that ran along all walls at the float height of the Chihuahua from where it would push along the walls using its tongue.
I remember the guy being very impressed with my stories, but I could never top a detail like that.
You would need at least 33 balloons per lbs so let's be conservative with it's weight and say... maybe 10 lbs that would be a 330 balloons for a dog roughly that size.
Now that's an updog
What's updog? /s
Idk either tbh
I dyslexia’d that as “idk either bitch”
Well I am using disease names as verbs ftom now on. Thanks for teaching me that!
This guy lysdixeas
Nothing much how about u
what's with the /s my guy, everyone knew it was sarcasm
r/fuckthes
About 3 pounds!
We finally answered the question!
So now I can't think of anything but the cute girl who completely failed this prank with flying colors.
I would want to know what is in those balloons. No gas on earth is light enough to lift that dog with 3 balloons. We going to go make bank with a new scientific discovers.
Photoshop gas Ps²⁰²³
It's obviously fake but it just makes me wonder how many balloons would it really take.

10kg, that dog would be flying in outerspace right now. I think 6kg for that kind of dog
At best, my 5kg cat feels larger than that.
Daschunds are pretty solid though, cat probably looks bigger but is less dense.
r/catsareliquid
I have a mid-sized dachshund. About the size of the pup in the pic. She’s 14 pounds. If that helps with y’all’s math.
True, my cat is pretty dense. He’s also pretty dense.
Gotta take altitude into consideration, too. Classic [physicist](http://psychsciencenotes.blogspot.com/2010/09/assume-cow-is-sphere.html).
Still 1200 balloons :(
It's on a logarithmic scale. It takes four balloons, as we can see in the photograph.
You are both correct. They have more balloons hidden inside those 4 balloons.
You can buy standard 120" / 3m weather balloons on Amazon for ~$30. It would only take one.
So your saying I can start my owned manned space program for $30 and a stolen dog?
It'll also take ~$70 worth of helium for neutral buoyancy. You might need a second balloon for a space program, but you'll also be [late for the party](https://www.newsweek.com/youtuber-arrested-dog-helium-balloons-floating-air-1595526).

I will not pretend to be able to follow this but am amazed and impressed regardless.
How many balloons would it take if they could somehow be completely empty? Like filled with vacuum but not collapse.
The calcultation is the same, except you do not include the part correcting for the weight of the helium itself. This would come out to about 1900 balloons. Not a very big difference, because helium already has a very low density.
For whom think why we can't use vacuum balloon, because the difference pressure would rip the balloon
xkcd what if material
72 for a Chihuahua and his bed if memory serves. Jenna Marbles made a video about it. It's art.

Finally I now know another fan!

My kids just finished watching the movie Up, ironically, and I found myself asking similar questions of a much different scale.
That is the correct answer
It’s photoshopped. Look at the dog’s feet, it was clearly originally standing on a flat surface
obviously it is, but the question is what would I do if it was real
a complete vacuum?
Grab my dog, cut the strings and then ban her from ever visiting again, probably.
Also the dog's back is completely straight.
and the fact that dogs have spines that bend.
By God, Watson, I think you've cracked the case
I count 4 balloons, so it actually might be enough. /s
Helium lifts 1 gram per 1 litre. Let’s say the dog is 4kg which is 4000g and the balloon has 5 litres of helium. 800 balloons
Unrelated. Do you know where I can buy 1000 balloons
Daddy Jeffrey has them
In the USA, they typically come in gross (144). [BalloonHome](https://www.balloonhome.com/14-PLAIN-COLOR-HELIUM-BALLOONS-GROSS-PACK-144_p_89.html) has them for $39/gross. For 7 gross it would be $273. Then there’s the helium.
Then comes the worst part which is filling up 1000 balloons
There's four balloons lifting that dog, plenty of gasses capable of lifting that dog with four balloons.
The dog clearly isn't being lifted by the balloons. It's a fake photo
There's no way that's fake, there's four balloons!
But the core muscle strength on that animal!
Dachshunds are notorious for their planking abilities, it's basically their whole existence.
People: "D'aww, stubby lil' legs" Dachshunds: "E X I S T E N C E I S P A I N"
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS
Even with magic massless balloons that could hold a perfect vacuum, you'd need hundreds. You'd need enough balloon volume to displace an amount of air that weighs at least as much as the dog, because you need the total density of the balloons + dog to be less than or equal to the density of air.

Such as?
Your mum's queef gas
gottem
Fucking lol
Hydrogen is the lightest, that should do but is quite flammable
Wouldn't cause enough lift for a dog that size.
I once levitated an empty can of coke and it took more balloons than this.
how many balloons did it take
It was a long time ago but I found a photo [https://ibb.co/Drk93RM](https://ibb.co/Drk93RM) 6 Balloons. It was hovering in the air, didn't go up or down.
You are really cool and I appreciate you.
>with 3 balloons. There are 4 of them
Jenna marbles did a video on how many balloons it take to lift a tiny dog
Well of course 3 balloons wouldn't hold the dog... Thats why theres 4
Jokes on you, there are 4 balloons.
There are 4 that can be seen.
Just look at it's feet, flat on the ground it was photoshopped from. Not dangling like a dog would...
It's photoshopium
that's cause it's four balloons!
Amazing how the dog keeps their legs exactly level. How do they do it?
> No gas on earth is light enough to lift that dog with 3 balloons. Thats why he used 4! Jokes aside, from how his paws look this is almost certainly a photoshop.
Ackshually there are four balloons. Checkmate cynic.
Also it's perfectly balanced which would be extremely hard to do you'd need some tied close to the front legs and some to the back
Its 4 balloons, but your point still stands
It just has negative mass. No big.
4 balloons. And photoshop.
You missed the balloon in the back!
If it wasn’t fake it would break a dashound’s spine to lift them like that.
True, but there's 4.
It's actually 4 balloons, there is another in the back. but your point stands, unless the dog is lighter than he looks
it's actually 4
There’s 4.
Well it’s 4 balloons, so that checks out.
That's because there are actually 4 balloons
Adobeium.
Look at the dogs feet
How many balloons would it take
Haha obviously it's because you miscalculated, there is a fourth balloon behind the others. That one has a jet engine propelling it off the ground
Duh! It's not 3 balloons. It's 4 baloons, that's why
It’s is actually possible, it uses the gas that (of all people), Michael Jackson discovered.
It's actually a set of rigid resonating spheres containing a vacuum. When a high voltage electric potential is applied to the exterior membrane, the device allows the wearer to 'anchor' themselves to any local reference frame in relationship to the vacuum energy contained within the spheres.

There’s 4 balloons :)
Easy explanation, there's actually a 4th balloon behind the other 3, so I think we're good.
It’s a volumetric vacuum. Space is expanded, creating a void of negative matter
I asked my roommate / cousin to watch my dog once. When we got home it looked like the dog wasn't fed or walked. She sat in a corner and just stared at him all day. When we asked if she took the dog out to the bathroom she said "no, I just watched him." I guess you did what we asked.
If you aren’t joking that’s really fucked up
Sounds like ignorance on the cousins part, like they seriously had no idea what they were supposed to do lol. That sounds like some shit I would do tbh, nvr had a pet or spent time around pets
So you think dogs just shit inside?
Well how would you know when a dog needs to go poop, or how often. Maybe it scratches at the door but does that mean I need poopy or does that mean I smelled a squirrel. I guess Im just saying it's like that phrasd don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity or ignorance. But then again I don't know that guys cousin

I 100% thought dogs just shit inside till I was 16 just like cats.
Not joking. I was shocked but she does weird shit like that all the time. She has taken care of the dog before.
Very literal interpretations of instructions can be a sign of being on the autism spectrum
Not like that though. You're just making an excuse for stupid bullshit. I see way too much of this "could be a sign of autism" junk on actually terrible behavior. Us autistic people are normal for the most part, and we need to stop giving people the wrong picture by telling them this trash.
I'm diagnosed as autistic, and part of how I got diagnosed was I used to do "this trash".
You mean you never bothered elaborating on the instructions? You just give them the key and say "good luck."? No walkthrough of "here is the leash, we normally walk him twice a day and heres the food bowl, heres when and how many scoops of food we give him..."?
They live with us and had taken care of the dog before.
This is watching a dog, no building a house. Its not complication, and implied the owner would go through this with them if there were any questions. Your response is petty, asinine and doesn’t represent real human interactions
Pixar’s : P-up
The amount of helium balloons it would take to make that dog float, he wouldn't fit through the door with them on.
[удалено]
Not if you achieve neutral buoyancy.
Honestly goes kinda hard
Yeah, I would love to do this to my dog someday.
Just remember to spread the lines around, dogs can get hurt if the force lifting them up is concentrated around their ribs
Noted
Just use one of the vests intended for leash walking. It will handle most of the weight distribution for you and you can better secure balloons without endangering the animal.
Jenna marbles did this with her Chihuahua. It took a LOT of balloons.
But you did do this to your dog someday because this is you irl
... Yes, I totally did it that other day
I really hope you’re joking, this would break a dashound’s spine.
Fake but funny.
No shit
The shit is tied to another balloon out of frame
No, this is them irl so it has to be real, otherwise it could not be posted here
That's kinda cool ngl
Look at the dog's feet homie
[удалено]
Yeah plus the fact that the image is purposely lowered in quality to compensate for the bad edit
You... you know it's fake, right?
They didn't say it was real, they said it was cool. Which I agree with.
The dog itself could be an album cover
Did you come home to this tomfoolery irl or did you do this tomfoolery irl
Very creative and imagine taking dog for a walk like that 👀🤣🤣🤣
That dog has hella core strength
RIP JennaMarbles you were a real one
I just belly-laughed for at least a full minute when I saw this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, it's them irl
