Check out Food Theory! ► bit.ly/2CdCooV
Don't miss a Film Theory! ► bit.ly/1dI8VBH
Have you ever wondered if the house in Up could really float away on balloons? So have I but that is not the most INTERESTING question! You see, people have tried to figure that out before. What I aim to do today, Loyal Theorists, is figure out the actual COST of making a balloon powered flying house WORK! That's right, we are not stopping until this house would really fly!

I was wondering how he was gonna land it without the house crashing.

[@jonarbuckle778]

Also how would the suport structure of the house hold up? In the film all the balloons are connected donw through the chimney meaning the force of lift the baloons are creating is not evenly spread across the structure of the house which would also mean that part of the chimney and roof would just be torn off. The balloons would have to be arranged in such a way that it's creating equal force on the supports of the house.

[@danese1636]

What about the fact that we're dealing with latex and direct sunlight. Not going to lie, that house is going to come crashing down mere minutes after it starts to fly... Latex and sunlight don't go together very well... :3

[@jagosutherland6937]

It would actually be impossible to float a house that weight with balloons, because as you get more balloons you begin to need more fishing line to connect them to the house, and the length of line would end up weighing more than 9 grams (the calculated lifting force of a helium balloon) well before you actually had enough balloons, from there, adding more balloons would have a negative effect, and so the house could never fly.

You missed something when calculating the required force to lift up the house. In the movie, when the house takes off, it rips away from the foundation. His means that you not only have to factor in the weight of the house, but also the force required to break away from the foundation, which would increase the required force significantly.

[@burbanpoison2494]

And how do you fit 20 million balloons within 50 feet of the house? I'm pretty sure the total balloon bubble would have to be at least a thousand feet tall, so you would need much longer string, which would take even more balloons to support, which would be even farther away from the house and take even more string.

[@burbanpoison2494]

@@massey81 you can tie *A* balloon to *A* balloon. You can't tie twenty million balloons to a balloon. In fact, with that much weight shifting, even the slightest breeze is likely to rip thousands of balloons open, and a little bump of turbulence would send a wave of weight through those balloons that would smash the house into a pile of rubble on the beach.

'Preciate your argument there to keep the dream alive, but if a bundle of roughly 50 balloons (I used to work at a party store, so I know that a bundle of 50 would be about that size) could lift a cart, supplies, AND 4-6 tanks (which weigh a ton in of themselves), one balloon would easily be able to carry a kid off into the sunset, and would most likely be outlawed due to public safety...

Okay Matt I know this is for game theory but I’m lazy and this has been on my mind.

Thank for listening to my Ted Talk.

He didn’t need to steal the balloons. He sold balloons when he worked at the zoo, probably hoarded some and stocked up over the years.

As someone who works with balloons, I know that there is a certain amount of time a balloon floats. If you were to do something like this, you'd need a lot of hi-float for the letex balloons, increasing the total amount of money to do something like this.

MatPat, if you see this comment, PLEASE WATCH CLANNAD AND CLANNAD AFTER STORY!!! It is one of the best series I have ever seen and if that scene made you cry, this series will mess you up. It is a bit of a watch (Just under 50 episodes between the two, but trust me you won’t regret it) also it would be really easy to make all kinds of theories on it, you really should check it out

I want to see how MatPat’s brain works when doing the calculations for each type of these episodes. Also, as someone who is from Cleveland as well, over in Canton, Ohio we have the Football Hall of Fame. Mainly because we “created”/hosted the very first football game. Though it wasn’t televised, it’s still the first time a regulation game of football happened.

11:17 Not to mention that if he were blowing up the balloons on his own, they would deflate by the time he actually filled and tied the full 31,150,319 balloons. At the very least he'd need more than a few extra hands, but judging by how he treats strangers, that doesn't seem very likely.
