Uses for mylar balloon?

[rjb]

Here's a wacky question:

Now that the red heart-shaped helium-filled mylar balloon I bought my sweetie on Valentine's Day has become heavier than air,
can you think of any music electronics-related use for it?

I was guessing:
- Antistatic bag?
- Shiny pickup foil (like in gold foils)?
- Shielding?

Would it work in these applications?
Can you think of other uses?

Also, under the bar code is printed:
VALVOMATIC(TM)
U.S. Pat xxxxxx
1 PIEZAPIECE

What could "piezapiece" refer to?

Please reply ASAP- this is an urgent request!

I highly suspect your piezapiece is really pieza and piece run together. Pieza is Spanish for piece. SO in essence it says there is Valvomatic, one piece. As opposed to a pair of them.

What to do with it? Well the remains of a mylar balloon has been fooling idiots in Roswell New Mexico since 1947.

D'oh. I was thinking "Piezo-piece? WTF?"

Got any ideas more constructive than fooling idiots?

You mean other than exposing them when you are done?


Sadly, no.

Doubt it has enough metal in it for shielding or even antistatic.
Anyway use your multimeter and check continuity ... although I guess you'll find none.
