But my friends told me that this kind of clouds made of helium and water.I am very comfused that whether it can effect the environment or not ? Here is some picture in the site of activity. If you want to see more pictures about this , please have a look the website of the manufacture : http://www.smileclouds.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Umm...do you have more info on this? Other pics? The ones shown seem photoshoped. Helium and water are naturally occurring atmospheric components. Helium is so light and non-reactive, that it would likely pose no danger at all. Water vapor in the atmosphere can provoke local, or regional, shifts. But with such a (presumably) small amount, it seems benign to me. More info please!

JMJones0424 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Don't know whether the pictures are photo shopped or not, but Snow Masters makes a machine called Flogo that creates lighter-than-air foamy bubble objects that appear to be similar to those in the picture. Flogos - It's Not a Bird. It's Not a Plane. It's a Flogo! According to the FAQ on the website, the soap is "100% environmentally safe". The MSDS for their clear soap solution gives cocoamidopropylamine oxide as the only listed ingredient. I found no info online on the spelling given, but if it is correctly spelled "cocamidopropylamine", then it appears that this is a common substance used in shampoos and soaps as a surfactant and cleansing agent, and seems to be relatively harmless.

Illiad Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Maybe the helium water mixture itself does not pollute the environment. But if the machine that makes this fancy clouds came from a standard industrial factory, and/or was brought to the ceremony by a van/car/truck that chugs on oil, then it has already polluted the air(indirectly). Not much to do if you really need fancy clouds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
