What way can a hot air balloon travel?

A hot air balloon pilot has control over the vertical axis of flight only. By heating the air in the balloon, the pilot can control the vertical flightpath in an upwarddirection. By releasing hot air or by letting the air cool down, the pilot can affect the vertical axis of flight in a downward direction. Any other directional control (the horizontal flight path) is controlled by the wind. the only control the pilot has in the horizontal flight path is by taking the balloon up or down into the wind which flows in the direction the pilot wants to travel.

What is directional valves?

Directional control valves are one of the most fundamental parts in hydraulic machinery. They allow fluid flow into different paths from one or more sources. They usually consist of a piston inside a cylinder which is electrically controlled. The movement of the cylinder restricts or permits the flow, thus it controls the fluid flow. Directional control valves are mainly two types: Hydraulic and Pneumatic. Hydraulic directional control valves are for a liquid working fluid (e.g. water, hydraulic oil) and pneumatic directional control valves are for a gaseous (usually air) working fluid.


Can you use a TV antenna for a remote control helicopter antenna?

If the TV antenna was built for the correct frequency, it would work but my second thought is do you want the antenna to send a directional signal? I would think a "omni" signal (all direction pattern) would be a better choice. Most TV antennas are directional.
