The guy claims that this balloon uses a million volts of electricity on the outter skin for one minute intervals while floating to steer itself. I saw the clip of the piece of shit landing sideways in the field, as most everyone else did. Easy, take this fucking thing apart and see if there are any wires etc. in it's design. It's nothing but an oversized balloon full of helium only. No wires, no gauges, no capacitors, no electronics. This balloon is just one big empty space, much like what's inside that moron's head.....empty space.
That guy does not have a science background and the design of the balloon coupled with his claim that his balloon uses a million volts of electricity is indicative of that. The voltage coming off of the transformers at the hydroelectric dam I live next to is 500kV (500,000 volts). It takes a huge amount of water and transfer of energy to generate that. A million volts might be possible if he's on the Starship Enterprise using dilithium crystals - he's not going to get that from connecting a series of car batteries!
I am so utterly sick of reality TV and these publicity whores looking to be famous for no reason!! The fact that they exploit their children in the process just makes it so much worse. I like informative shows such as 'Surviving Disaster' that actually teach something valuable, but why would anyone in their right mind watch Kate and Jon Gosselin? We just averted a second Great Depression and that's what we're focussing our energy on? Two dingdongs no one even likes? It's no wonder we are all in trouble.
