Basically I was thinking 2 balloons full of gas that carries charge and make balloon capacitors?
I googled found little. .
Wouldn't the capacitance be from the electrons & lack of electrons on the balloon skins?
A capacitor is two conductors separated by an insulator. In your design, what are the conductors and what is the insulator?
metallic skinned balloons, with thin wires coming off, air as insulator.
A charged thing stores some energy even in the absence of a second conductor, andthere's an equation for the capacitance of an isolated conductive sphere: Proportional to the radius... (4piepsilon*R)
Could you ionize gas inside balloons or bulbs differentially?
hmmm
You should ionize the gas before blowing it into the balloon.
The pressure would be the sum of the standard gas pressure (PxV)/(n*T)=R
and the pressure due to the electric repulsion (don't know formula)
That means you might need less gas to blow up the balloon to a certain size causing it to rise faster.
IN practice I think the ionization/charge will "leak" depending on the balloons skin.
Charge difference.
A pin and a plate with high charge between inside a balloon would make negative ions.
If one balloon has negative ions of higher energy than another?
Erp... had to fix the syntax there!
But how would you solder them to a PCB?
