What element is used inside balloons so it will float?
Helium is the gas usually used now. Hydrogen works, but is inflammable and so dangerous. There are also hot air balloons which require a heater to create the hot air and keep it hot.
Why do people use the hot air balloon?
People first used hot air balloons as a means of flying. At the time it was the only way people could fly. Now people do it because they like the feeling of floating through the air, with no wings or engine.
What is the gas used in hot air balloon?
Air - a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. When heated, air becomes less dense and so it will float in cooler (= more dense) air, giving the balloon its lift.Airships and blimps are different to hot air balloons in that they gain lift from an envelope (the balloon) filled with a gas that is lighter than air. In the past, this was hydrogen but use of this gas was stopped due to its extremely flammable nature and helium is now used instead.Used gasses in balloons: helium, hot air, hydrogen.
What is used as lifting gas in balloons?
Hydrogen gas makes the ballon lighter than air therefore it drifts upwards
How do you use air?
If it wasn't for air you wouldn't be alive right now. Animals need air. Also cool air can cool you off in the summer time. Hot air can make you warm in the winter time. Hot air goes in hot air balloons. Air goes in balloons. Air makes tornadoes. Well, only when the hot air mixes with the cold air that is when it formes a tornado. I could go on for ever more telling you what are some uses of air.

How many balloons do you have to strap to yourself if you weighed 150lbs to make you float?
It should be enough air in the balloons to replace the water weighing more than 150lbs. It should be probably >68 Liters of air. Now you can calculate to distribute 68 liters of air in the balloons. :-)
What has changed between the first hot air balloon and hot air balloons now?
The components have changed very little from the first one. If anything, have just become more modern and powerful, and also more reliable. Of course, we now use modern materials and fuels, but the basic design and principles of ballooning have barely changed in over two centuries. Hope this helped!
What were hot air balloons made out of during the Civil War?
actually civil war balloons were mostly gas filled and not hot air - they were filled with hydrogen - the balloons were made mostly from silk - the belief that they were made from donated womens silk dresses is a myth although they were made from dress silk civil war balloons definitely were highly volitile, filled with gas,, example the hindenbergh blimp, filled with helium gas. now I believe General Mc Dowell served America and was able to convey exact troop movements to President Lincoln Three of them were made and not much by way of what happened to them but I am sure They were manufactured by sewing animal skin.. leather to be exact, laced with a congealing compound to treat the leather.
