The teacher says "hey that movie Up was awesome, lets do some video analysis of that GPS out the window." You can imagine what happens next. We will have a generation of kids growing up not understanding kinematics. "The theory of our business is to replace the foundation with steel beams and then the steel beams can be transported wherever you need to, with the house just getting a free ride," he said. "That's a great idea," Siegrist said, laughing.

A house was actually lifted by balloons once, as the video reminds us. But it was extremely tiny and gutted of everything inside. It’s a lot more like that than a real life human home with plumbing and furniture and all that kind of stuff. Still, it did get suspended into the air up to 10,000 feet. So someone made the Up fantasy come true, even if they had to cut corners to do it.

The fallout from Danielle Olivera and Gabby Prescod's conversation

In “Up” that divide is evident between the early scenes, which tell Carl’s story with extraordinary tenderness and brilliant narrative economy, and the later scenes of him as a geriatric action hero. The movie opens with the young Carl enthusing over black-and-white newsreel images of his hero, a world-famous aviator and explorer, Charles Muntz (Christopher Plummer). Like the opener of “Wall-E” and the critic’s Proustian reminiscence of childhood in “Ratatouille,” this is filmmaking at its purest. This video uses an impressive computer simulation to show what 31 million balloons would look like in real life. The CGI balloons are shown riding the currents of the wind like a floating, rainbow sea. Blowing up all those balloons would be impractical for an entire team of people, not to mention one elderly man living alone.

House party: could you float a house with helium balloons?.

CNN showed video of flames engulfing the man’s body as bystanders ran from the rising dark smoke. “He lights himself on fire,” Maddrey said during a news conference Friday afternoon. The man who set himself on fire Friday outside the New York City courthouse where former President Trump is on trial died of his extensive injuries, authorities said. The highest drafted player by the organization during the McVay era, which began in January 2017, was center Steve Avila with the 36th pick last year. Overseeing Tuesday’s panel and advocating for the administration’s federal action plan was Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. Emhoff said the plan aims to reduce the country’s roughly 132 suicides a day.

But you know how the saying goes, “Kids, don’t try this at home.” Part of the fun of this video is seeing the VFX recreations of what it would really look like to life a house high up in the air this way. Let’s just say you probably wouldn’t want to look down. As Nerdist reports, the video below from Corridor Crew visualizes exactly how many balloons it would take to carry a house in real life. Pete Doctor, Up's director, says in a clip that the team settled on around 10,000 balloons after realizing that obeying the laws of physics would make animating the film impossible. One more simple calculation — 100,000 pounds divided by 0.067 pounds per cubic foot — and you've got that it would take 1,492,537 cubic feet of helium to lift the house.

If you want to model this for a homework problem and estimate the mass the GPS would have to have to have a motion like this, let me know. Also, would that be enough balloons to make the house float? Here is a shot of the balloons coming out of the house.

However, it seems like the balloons may have been attached outside the house to the ground or something. This is a shot from Video Tracker's built in analysis tools. They are really good, I should have been using these the whole time (I used to export the data to Vernier's Logger Pro).

That is from a post on the MythBusters making a lead balloon float. Oh, and here is my last post about Up (just for completeness). The most important thing to estimate is the mass of the house. I am going to completely ignore the buoyancy of the house.

They tend to use bigger balloons, say, six feet in diameter. Carl’s epic adventure required a destination both fantastic and plausible. When Director Pete Docter happened on a television documentary about the mysterious tepuis of South America, he discovered the perfect world to explore. The massive mile-high plateaus in Venezuela are among the most uncharted places on Earth. Pixar sent a team of artists for a look, and the film's bizarre rock formations, exotic flora, towering waterfall, and fog-shrouded labyrinth can be traced to tepui landscapes. So fantastic were the images, Docter wondered if the very real Tepuis might look too incredible.

We can customize the decor to match your theme. Let us help you create a moment to remember. We carry Qualatex®, Betallatex® which is now Sempertex®, Balloonia®, 2-Celebrate™, Funsational,  Tuftex, Basic Balloons™, Let’s Party, and other brands of latex balloons. We carry latex balloons in sizes, 5 inch, 7 inch, 9 inch, 11 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch, 30 inch, 36 inch, 4 foot, 5.5 foot and 8 Foot. ZapperZ looked at how the balloons were deployed. He assumed that the balloons were originally attached to the house before being released (this would have the same buoyancy as if they were deployed).

Assuming the Rams don't trade out of the first round, they will be picking on the first day of the draft for the first time since 2016 when Jared Goff was the No. 1 overall pick. Given how guarded teams usually are about the draft, it's refreshing to see a franchise open its doors to turn it into a party. In addition to McVay and general manager Les Snead, the draft house will typically have celebrity guests. Eric Dickerson, Rebel Wilson, Erin Andrews and Brody Jenner were photographed at the venue in 2021. The Rams have run their draft out of a draft house since 2021, though they referred to last year's location in the San Fernando Valley as a "draft lab."

Pixar movies ask viewers to suspend their disbelief. Toys don't really talk, superheroes don't exist, and tiny people in our heads aren't controlling our emotions. Up (2009), which centers on a house that travels to South America via thousands of balloons, isn't shooting for realism, but it's more plausible than other films from the animation studio. To really bring Up into the real world, the animators just needed to add dozens of millions more balloons to Carl's home.

He's a retired balloon salesman who, at the age of 78, is forced to leave the house he and his late wife Ellie built together. But instead of moving into the old folks' home, Carl takes action. He ties thousands of balloons to the roof, lifts the house into the air, and sets off toward South America, finally fulfilling the promise he made to his wife so many years before.

Air weighs about 0.078 pounds per cubic foot; helium weighs just 0.011 pounds per cubic foot. A helium balloon experiences a buoyant upward force that is equal to the air it displaces minus its own weight, or 0.067 pounds per cubic foot of helium balloon. The conceit of the new Disney/Pixar cartoon epic, Up, is that an old guy's house gets attached to a bunch of helium balloons which lift it up out of the city and on a wonderful adventure.

As Sean McVay prepares to make a first-round pick in the NFL draft for the first time as a head coach, the Los Angeles Rams are setting up shop in a luxurious draft house for this weekend's event. “The WOSB Integrity Act of 2024 would help numerous women business owners across the country. This bipartisan bill is designed to ensure federal contracting dollars intended for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) are awarded to those firms that meet the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) small business size standards.

When he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America, he finally fulfills his lifelong dream of adventure. But after Carl discovers an 8-year-old stowaway named Russell, this unlikely duo soon finds themselves on a hilarious journey in a lost world filled with danger and surprises. A new video from the Corridor Crew YouTube channel (via Digg) explores just how many balloons it would actually take to perform such a miracle. Turns out, it’s a lot more than just a few thousand.
