I'm investigating the use of dense gasses, either xenon or sulfur hexafluoride (a stable, nonreactive gas used for "blanketing" of reactive materials) as the inflating material... these are both about 5x times the density of air... although that isn't as exotic as it sounds, a scuba diver at 2 atm. or 64 feet below surface is inhaling compressed air of that density... I think this can be injected into these pods I see advertised in exercise catalogs, small inflatable disks... although a bicycle inner tube may work just fine, one of the physical parameters of gas that is interesting is *elasticity*... these differ considerably... it is probable that Xe and SF6 are not the same springiness, although closely related densities... and because they are larger atomic radius, they won't leak out nearly as quickly as air components will...
