There is a helium shortage. Other than birthday parties, what use does helium have?

Helium is used to cool superconducting magnets in MRI scanners.
As helium is lighter than air, airships and balloons can be filled with the gas to gain lift.
Helium is used to condense hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel.
Helium can be added to oxygen tanks so that divers can breath more easily. This is especially important for people that go deep diving (over 450 ft below sea level).
Used in helium-neon lasers. These lasers can be used to read barcodes.
Helium can be used to detect leaks in high-vacuum and high-pressure equipment.
For materials easily contaminated by air, helium is used as a shielding gas in the arc welding process.
Helium is used as a protective gas when growing silicon and germanium crystals and when producing titanium and zirconium. It is a fantastic protective gas as it is inert (unreactive).
The age of rocks which contain uranium and thorium can be estimated using helium dating.
Helium is often used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.
Helium can be used to detect leaks (small fractures) in some vessels.

filling party balloons – it’s a safe, non-flammable gas
creation of an inert gas shield for arc welding
high speed ‘push gas’ inside air-to-air missiles for guidance corrections
protective gas in growing silicon and germanium crystals, and in titanium and zirconium production
cooling medium for nuclear reactors; helium won't become radioactive
artificial atmospheres for divers and others working under pressure (mixtures of about 80 percent helium and 20 percent oxygen)
cryogenics and superconductivity
use in supersonic wind tunnels
pressurizing agent for liquid fuel rockets (inert so it won't react)
leak detection agent for extremely small leaks
isotopic dating by helium ratios (seawater, ocean beds, etc.)
helium cardiopulmonary resuscitation pump (heart surgery)
helium filled border patrol "AEROSTAT" monitoring blimps

Canada and US are at war with each other, in a costco.

Welcome to costco Canada, I guess we don't love you.

[Derick]

thank you for calling random helium facts

[LeNeve]

thanks Bill Nye.

[Chip]

thanks Bill Nye.

Bill Nighy.

I know there is a helium processing plant outside town here. I also think they seperate it from the natural gas processing procedure. Something like that. Helium trucks look lame too.

[LeNeve]

There is a black guy in the shop. He looks nice. That is all for now.

[Derick]

another use of helium, parade balloons

I had a friend who's dad was a diver. He told me about the helium in the scuba tanks. I never believed him though. He said his dad would talk weird for a few days after a dive too. I certainly do not believe that.

shit. I think he saw me.
