Air Pen

 Write in midair!
  (+4)
(+4) 		  [vote for,

A handheld "pen" or lightweight pump that, at the push of a button, ejects a steady stream or jet of colored gas from its tip. This gas has the exact same density as air, so it hangs in midair without rising or sinking. Potentially, in an environment without any air currents, one could write or draw in midair.

       What stops the gas from moving after being ejected from the pen?
