    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_J-2

    The spherical helium tank was positioned inside the hydrogen tank to minimize engine complexity. It held 16,000 cm 3 (1,000 cu in) of helium. The larger spherical hydrogen gas tank had a capacity of 118,931 cm 3 (7,257.6 cu in). Both tanks were filled from a ground source prior to launch and the gaseous hydrogen tank was refilled during engine ...

  3. Suicide bag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_bag

    In 2015 author and right-to-die advocate Derek Humphry reported that Worthington Industries, the world's largest manufacturer of disposable helium cylinders, had announced that their helium cylinders will guarantee only 80% helium, with up to 20% air, making them inappropriate for use with a suicide bag in Humphry's opinion. [23]

  4. Gas blending for scuba diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending_for_scuba_diving

    The amount of helium that must be decanted is very simple to calculate: Multiply the desired gas fraction of helium (F He) by the total filling pressure (P tot) to get partial pressure of helium (P He). In the case of the Tx 20/40, in a 230 bar cylinder, this would be 230 bar x 40% = 92 bar (or for a 3,000 psi fill, it would require 3,000 x 40% ...

  5. Cryogenic storage dewar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_storage_dewar

    A self-pressurising dewar (silver) being filled with liquid nitrogen from a larger storage tank (white). A cryogenic storage dewar (or simply dewar) is a specialised type of vacuum flask used for storing cryogens (such as liquid nitrogen or liquid helium), whose boiling points are much lower than room temperature.

  6. Euthanasia device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_device

    Nitschke described his device as a modification of the exit bag with helium method described in The Peaceful Pill Handbook. Helium was replaced by a cylinder of compressed nitrogen and a regulator to supply the nitrogen into a plastic bag. One advantage of this method was the availability of larger amounts of nitrogen and flow rates last longer.

  7. Trimix (breathing gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimix_(breathing_gas)

    Trimix scuba cylinder label IMCA Trimix cylinder shoulder colour code alternative IMCA Trimix cylinder shoulder colour code. Trimix is a breathing gas consisting of oxygen, helium and nitrogen and is used in deep commercial diving, during the deep phase of dives carried out using technical diving techniques, [1] [2] and in advanced recreational diving.

  8. Autogenous pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogenous_pressurization

    Cutaway of Space Shuttle external tank. Autogenous pressurization is the use of self-generated gaseous propellant to pressurize liquid propellant in rockets.Traditional liquid-propellant rockets have been most often pressurized with other gases, such as helium, which necessitates carrying the pressurant tanks along with the plumbing and control system to use it.

  9. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    Hydrogen and helium are the most commonly used lift gases. Although helium is twice as heavy as (diatomic) hydrogen, they are both significantly lighter than air. The lifting power in air of hydrogen and helium can be calculated using the theory of buoyancy as follows: Thus helium is almost twice as dense as hydrogen.
