I’ve enjoyed your many links- glad to have found you. Wizard was my hero, and magic- and I know not to mix elctricity and water…or play with heavy gases. And should one pass-out in an upright position, it reasons that they can not help but “drown” as the heavy gas cannot pour out, and the body cannot push out. What may seem like an innocent light-headed moment may truly be your body drowning. “Harmless” “inert” “take a hit, Jay” were things that I heard…no more harmful than helium? My inquisitive science mind tells me that helium, lighter than air, is going to escape on it’s own… However, SF6 and various other inert heavy gases are going to stay put- like the invisible water in the aquarium on Leno -unless you forcibly expel them.Īs you said, do not try this- or anything like it with heavy gas- at home. Two nights ago, on Jay Leno, I saw an SF6 demo. Her daughter confided details and one of them was that it made the huffers voice sound funny- really low- and the kids thought it was really funny. A mom was recently telling me about a party her daughter had attended where they were “huffing”. Thank you for your caution about trying this.

Instead of inhaling the SF6 gas from a balloon, David had Jay Leno dip his head down into the box and inhale some of the gas. These demos got a nice reaction from the audience. You’ll find a complete explanation of the sulfur hexafluoride demo or anti-helium experiment as some call it in my experiment library.įor the Tonight Show, David filled an open top plastic box with the gas and proceeded to float aluminum foil boats and bubbles on this very dense gas. ![]() However, if you breath sulfur hexafluoride (six time heavier than normal air), your voice sounds low. If you breath in helium (six times lighter than the air we breath), the pitch of your voice goes up. ![]() This is the inert gas that is six times heavier than the air we breath. It was fun to see David Willey on The Tonight Show this evening doing some nice variations on the classic sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) demo.
