Equipment
Balloon
ebay sells weather balloons for $25 each for surplus balloons. We can also buy from here: http://www.kaymont.com/pages/home.cfm who are the largest maker of weather balloons in North America
Helium: triCity Welding supplies can lease us a 3 foot tall tank that holds 3 cubic metres, which would be enough for 2 launches at least. total cost for tank, regulator and gas, $120.00
Hydrogen tricity welding supplies also sells hydrogen, but they only sell it to qualified companies or organizations because it is hazardous and before they will sell it to us they would want to have a sit down and talk with their experts before they would sell any to us, which is fair.
