Fascinating, I would have assumed there this wasnt a big issue with air pollution and corrosion but that would just be my ignorance on the subject.

I do wonder how sustainable this would be from the helium perspective, it has a high potential for supply constraints and is largely dependant on gas/oil extraction currently. Hydrogen, doesnt have that limit but brings a whole lot of engineering and safety issues with it.
