I fail to see the argument here, Neon is readily within peoples price range and is almost exclusively provided by cryogenic fractal distillation. It costs approximately $33/100g and helium presently costs $5.2/100g. Considering the existing neon producers will only have to modify their equipment slightly I doubt the price of helium would ever surpass the price of neon in the foreseeable future.
- cperciva 17y agoAt 1 atmosphere, Neon freezes at 24.5K. This makes it rather ineffective as a coolant.
- electromagnetic 17y agoAnd the relevance of this to using fractal distillation to harvest helium from the atmosphere is?
- cperciva 17y agoI misunderstood your point -- I thought you were suggesting that Neon could be used as a replacement for Helium.
