Why does the balloon being filled with helium mean it wouldn’t move through the machine on the conveyor belt? Just curious.

- ylyn 6y agoYou're kidding, right? The balloon would float and not stay in contact with the belt.
- aetch 6y agoThe balloon floats and will not touch the conveyor belt?
- m10i 6y agoHey thanks for the answer. I can be too literal, so at the time I wasn't sure if that's what he was implying, or if there was some other special property about helium in a balloon in an X-ray machine that I didn't know of.
- fingerlocks 6y agothe charitable interpretation of this question is “Why wasn’t the balloon tied to something that could move through the conveyor belt?”. Which is a much more reasonable thing to ask.

- m10i 6y agoAlthough I was very tired when I originally posted this around 2:30 AM, I think my train of thought was that if they got it from outside of the machine in the conveyor belt --> inside of the machine in the conveyor belt --> it's the same mechanism which will get it to pop out of the other end. But I suppose I was giving too much benefit of the doubt :)
