1 m 3 × 1.202 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 11.8 N. Therefore, the amount of mass that can be lifted by helium in air at sea level is: (1.292 - 0.178) kg/m 3 = 1.114 kg/m 3. and the buoyant force for one m 3 of helium in air at sea level is: 1 m 3 × 1.114 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 10.9 N. Thus hydrogen's additional buoyancy compared to helium is:
In addition to physiological disadvantages, the use of trimix also has economic and logistic disadvantages. The price of helium increased by over 51% between the years 2000 and 2011. [11] This price increase affects open-circuit divers more than closed-circuit divers due to the larger volume of helium consumed on a typical trimix dive.
They have seen helium costs rise at an alarming rate, though — possibly up to 30%, Kornbluth guessed. But without an end in sight for the helium shortage, the future of MRI remains uncertain.
Helium is also used as filling gas in nuclear fuel rods for nuclear reactors. [88] Goodyear Blimp. Since the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, [89] helium has replaced hydrogen as a lifting gas in blimps and balloons: despite an 8.6% [90] decrease in buoyancy compared to hydrogen, helium is not combustible.

In August 2014, the Bureau of Land Management auctioned crude helium from the national reserve at an average price of US$104 per thousand cubic feet of helium content. [29] Grade A helium sold for about $200 per thousand cubic feet, or $7.21 per cubic meter in 2014.
