Balloon Decor API
Party-balloon maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the helium-lift and balloon-count numbers a party planner or balloon artist decorates by. The helium endpoint gives a balloon’s lift from its inflated diameter: net lift is the inflated volume times the difference between air and helium density, about 1.046 grams per litre, so a fully inflated 11-inch latex balloon (around 11.4 litres) lifts roughly 12 grams gross and about 9 after its own weight, while a 36-inch giant lifts hundreds of grams. The float endpoint flips it around — how many balloons to float a payload = the weight divided by the net lift per balloon, rounded up, so a 50-gram card floats on six 11-inch balloons. The garland endpoint sizes an organic balloon garland or arch from its length: about 12 balloons per foot in a mix of sizes — roughly 40 % 5-inch, 45 % 11-inch and 15 % 16-inch for that full, textured look — so a 10-foot garland takes about 120 balloons, denser if you want it lush. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for party-planning, event-decor, balloon-artist and celebration app developers, decor-estimator and shopping-list tools, and event software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Inches and grams. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.
