Having thought along similar lines, I have to bun. Besides, the poor man version is just a solar powered valve. And it is only a step away from the graduated vacuum balloon I used to think about (while I was under the impression that a vacuum would suck shit into space) |

If the problem with zero pressure balloons is the
daily expansion/contraction cycle, then why not
have a balloon which vents as necessary until it
reaches its ceiling, then closes off the vent and
behaves like an expanding latex balloon (ie,
accommodating the relatively small daily pressure
cycle, rather than venting)? |
