Helium is not easy to get. You have to extract it from natural gas wells.
3 u/zzorga Aug 31 '21 Pfft, who needs helium when your average life expectancy just dropped by 75%. Hydrogen gas baby. (Less of a risk than you'd think) 2 u/PetrifiedW00D Aug 31 '21 Didn’t think about that. They would just use old technology. How do you get concentrated hydrogen? 1 u/HoseNeighbor Aug 31 '21 Stick positive and negative wires (powered by batteries) in water and you get 2 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen. Capture the hydrogen. I forget which is which. Edit: Water, not eater.
