The three musketeers created just under 100 lit balloons and released them.

The light is made out of a 10mm LED and a CR2032, the balloons are 12", white and biodegradable latex.

The video doesn't do the visual experience during the release justice, it was absolutely amazing. (1/20/2008)

  • How long do the LEDs stay on? like on a button cell battery?

  • @bmxstreet6 sometimes a week, sometimes a little bit less, depends on the current draw of the LED and the quality of the battery.

  • What is the name of this song?

  • 80's-Neena 99 Red Baloons.mp3

  • what age are you living in?? no batteries have mercury in them anymore.

    the latex is biodegradable and the batteries and led will rust away. the lithium in the cell will react with oxygen in the air/water and form harmless compounds.

    ok im not even going to try and guess the odds of a balloon landing in a whales blow hole.. what are you thinking??!??

  • helium is a natural resource and therefore would be gone right before our eyes or our great grandkids eyes.

    that's a very old news about helium. the supply is getting weaker so suppliers have to hike the prices.

  • @ron808 Actually, helium is made in laboratorys using the alpha radiation process. an alpha decay gives off helium nuclei! So really, lack of helium isn't much of a problem.

  • @bbollie no,led doesn't release enough heat

  • cant see shit when you release them

  • I wonder how many UFO reports this generated :) Good job.

  • I Was in A Consert And some One Did That And I Looked At The Sky And Trouhgt It Was An UFO XD But Then After I Saw People Whit It

  • recycle more! aliens got freaked out big time !

  • @bmxstreet6 Just get A Lithium Battery C 2035 ibelieve but any Cell lithium battery should work.

  • @bbollie LED's are famous for being light sources that don't give off any heat at all. So no , the LED's won't heat up and the baloons won't snap.
