Greetings from FL.
It bothered me a bit that you say there is transmission of helium into the
air filled insider balloons.
From a purely scientific principle if the pressure is equal on both sides of
a membrane then there is no motion across the membrane. So why are you
saying that the helium moves.  Are you filling the two to different
pressures?  Is the helium in the outer balloon at a pressure than the
pressure of the smaller balloon.?
Can any of the NASA people verify what I am thinking?  or am I wrong?
