How were hot air balloons used by the military?
The first use of hot air balloons was in the American Civil War for surveillance of troop movements.
Did the north and south use hot air balloons during the Civil War?
the civil war of which country?
What types of hot air balloons are there?
There are traditional hot air balloons, special-shaped hot air balloons (such as animals, objects, or characters), and solar-powered hot air balloons that use solar energy to heat the air inside.
Which gas do you use for hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons typically use propane gas as a fuel source for the burner that heats the air inside the balloon envelope. The propane is burned to heat the air, which causes the balloon to rise.
Why do hot air balloons use hydrogen?
'Hot air' balloons don't use hydrogen. They use hot air. Balloons that use hydrogen are not referred to as 'hot air' balloons. The only balloons that can accurately be referred to as 'hot air' balloons are the members of the balloon population that derive their lift/buoyancy from the presence of hot air. Of course, if a balloon used no hot air, then it could freely be referred to as a 'hydrogen' balloon, a 'helium' balloon, a 'water' balloon, etc., depending in congruent harmony with the nature of whatever substance had been chosen with which to inflate it it in order to maintain its fulsome shape.
What vehicles did they use in the US Civil War?
Horses, trains, boats, ships, submarines, hot air balloons, carts, wagons.
Why do hot-air balloons use fire?
Yes
Do they use fire with hot air balloons?
Yes
Does a hot air balloon have helium inside it?
Hot air balloons do not use helium; they are typically filled with hot air. Helium is non-flammable and more commonly used in other types of balloons like weather balloons or party balloons. The hot air inside a hot air balloon is what allows it to rise and float.
What gas do hot air balloons contain?
Hot air balloons are typically filled with heated air, which is lighter than the surrounding air and provides lift. Some balloons may also use helium or hydrogen gas for buoyancy, but hot air is the most commonly used lifting gas for traditional hot air balloons.
What is added to balloons and hot air balloons?
Balloons can be filled with air (don't float), or with hydrogen or helium (float because the gas is less dense). Hot air balloons use burners to heat the air so that it becomes slightly less dense than the cooler air around it, providing some lift.
How do hot air balloons use air to fly?
Hot air balloons use the fact that hot air rises as a way to make balloons fly. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it rises, and this creates lift which is used to make the balloon fly.
