David Blaine is preparing an experiment - over the Hudson on balloons (video)

While Elon Musk is making plans for colonizationfaraway planets, American illusionist David Blaine, is going to fly over the Hudson River using ordinary holiday balloons filled with helium.

According to an American with Soviet roots(Blaine's mother is a teacher from the USSR) it took him 10 years to prepare the stunt. Earlier, the Hudson has already flown in hot air balloons. But these were special balls with a large volume. An attempt to use ordinary balls will be the first and may lead to another record from Blaine.

Calculations showed that given Blaine's mass of 80kg, for a successful flight over the Hudson you will need to use a bunch of 6,500 standard balloons filled with helium. The total volume of the balloons will be about 74,000 liters (74 cubic meters). This volume is approximately equal to the volume of a large room in modern apartments. To keep such an array of balls in the air, you will have to create a special mesh mount.

The experimenter who was already buried alivefrozen, starved for 44 days, ready for his next record. The flight will take place as part of the David Blaine Ascension event on August 31, 2020 and will be broadcast live on the comedian's author's YouTube channel.
