I'd say it's staged!  In last night's "Bomber" episode, one team built an air
ship.  They built the body to contain the helium out of a large roll of
pristine Mylar one of the team members "found" in a locked trunk of what
looked like a Civic!  The camera just happened to be there when he opened the
trunk to "discover" the exact quantity of this magic substance that they
needed.

Still, very fun to watch.
