Sulfur hexafluoride is a gas that’s several times heavier than air. When you inhale it, it leads to the exact opposite of helium voice: a deep, rumbling vocalization that sounds suspiciously like a ...

With its chemically stable composition and ability to withstand extreme conditions, sulfur hexafluoride is a man-made gas used in particle accelerators, semiconductors, cellphone components, eye ...

A greenhouse gas 24,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide is being driven up by China’s growing electricity needs, according to a new study. CO2 is the number one greenhouse gas on our radar for ...

Penn State researchers have developed a prototype sonic gas analyzer that automatically and continuously tracks the concentration of a gas in an air/gas mixture based on changes in pitch. Penn State ...

Powerplant and substation electrical staff are very familiar with sulfur hexafluoride or SF6 which is a common insulating gas used in electrical equipment like electrical switches and circuit breakers ...

A method of tracing sulfur hexaflouride (SF6) leaks from high voltage breakers has shown to be effective in finding difficult-to-trace and repair hydrogen leaks in power plant generators. The method ...
