- It is possible to use methane to fill balloons. However, Methane has poor lifting capacity and has other safety defects and has never been widely used. Refer to links below for more information.
- The hot air balloon obtains its buoyancy by heating the air inside the balloon. It has become the most common type.
- The gas balloon is inflated with a gas of lower molecular weight than the ambient atmosphere. Most gas balloons operate with the internal pressure of the gas the same as the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.
- Gas balloons are usually filled with gases such as:
- hydrogen - originally used extensively but since the Hindenburg disaster is now seldom used due to its high flammability.
- helium - used today for all airships and most manned gas balloons.

Why does a hot air balloon need a burner to work?
To keep it hot you. The REASON they use a 'Burner' in a Hot Air Balloon is to 'heat the Air, to 'fill' the Balloon, so it will 'rise'... The only other way to get the air Hot enough to fill the Balloon, would be to make the 'Basket' MUCH, MUCH Larger, and fill it with Liberals, and just let them talk. BUT, I don't think the Balloon would ever get off the ground, because, the BULLCRAP would counteract the Hot Air, and they would cancel each other out...
Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?
A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.
How does a hot air balloon go in the air?
Well it has a gas fueled flame and the flames heat makes the balloon part fill up with hot air. Hot air rises so the hot air balloon will float into the sky like a helium balloon would.
Why do hot air balloons float in the ar?
As the air in the balloon is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, or that is, becomes lighter. This then provides lift to the balloon and the basket. The reason the air in the balloon expands, is because as it is heated, the molecules of air move faster and spread out to fill the entire volume of the balloon.
What gas do we fill in hot air balloon?
Hot air balloons are filled with hot air from a propane burner in the basket. Hot air rises. So provided the cooling air in the balloon is topped up from short blasts from the burner, the balloon will rise off the ground.
Can you use methane for fill balloon?
It is possible to use methane, but not advisable as methane gas is harmful
When a gas like helium is used to fill balloons it does what and takes the shape of the balloon?
the gas takes the shape and size of the balloon
What happens to a balloon when you fill it with air?
It will fill the balloon and make a oval sphere.
What gas is in a land fill?
methane
When you insert a balloon into a bottle and you pump air into the balloon why the balloon will not fill up the bottle?
Balloon will not fill up the full bottle in this experiment as the air is restricted by the walls of the balloon. Balloon is a solid so the air will take its shape.
What is the balloon lifting power ration of methane gas and air?
well i believe hellium is the best thing to power a *balloon as when i used to go to narnia brewsters we used to get balloons to don't use methane as it come from cows dariares, thankyou good luck getting this question right.
What is the safest gas to use in a balloon?
Helium is the safest gas to fill in balloons, as it is light and noncombustable.
How do you fill up the balloon on mission 8 on club penguin?
You fill up the balloon by asking G for the super helium.
How does a balloon expand?
when you fill a balloon with air the air makes pressure. the air pressure maximizes the balloon fabric allowing the balloon to expand.
What happens when you fill a balloon with steam then put it in the refrigerator?
The balloon will contract.
Can you fireproof a balloon?
Yes. fill with water
Which material most protects eggs?
Bubble wrap, foam, and Styrofoam. You could use that or you could put it in side a balloon and fill the balloon up with helium. I tried it and it really does work.
