What is the best thing to clean mirrors with?
The best thing to clean your mirrors with is newpaper. You can apply the cleaner to the mirror and wipe it down with the newspaper, or you can spray the cleaner to the newspaper and then wipe it down. Ethier way it works wonders because it does not leave streaks and does not leave linen or cloth on it! ur welcome :)
How did the saucer get its name?
The saucer has a raised center with a depression sized to fit a mating cup. The saucer is useful to protect surfaces from possible damage due to the heat of a cup, and to catch overflow, splashes, and drips from the cup, so protecting both table linen and the user sitting in a free standing chair who holds both cup and saucer. The saucer also provides a convenient place to place a damp Spoon, as might be used to stir the drink in the cup in order to mix sweeteners or creamers into Teaor Coffee. Not only are saucers used by humans, they are also used by animals, e.g. cats may drink or eat from saucers.
When was hot-air balloon invented?
In the late eighteenth century, Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier pioneered hot air ballooning in France. In 1782, they discovered that heated air in a lightweight bag caused it to rise. In 1783, they demonstrated their discovery publicly in Annonay, France. A few months later they repeated the experiment at Versailles, this time sending up a sheep, a rooster, and a duck as passengers. The first manned balloon flight took place in Paris, France, on November 21, 1783. Coordinated by the Mongolfier brothers, Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis Francois Laurent d'Arlandes were launched into the air in a balloon made of paper and linen. Smoke and heated air were used for the lifting gas.
Has the hot air balloon been improved since it was first invented?
the way a hot air balloon works is still pretty much the same but the materials they are made with has improved greatly - most likely in the past the balloon itself was made with heavy cotton or linen fabric and made airtight with wax or oil (such as linseed oil) - a very heavy combination not to mention highly flammable - today some very light and strong synthetics mean the balloon can be smaller and use less fuel to stay aloft - same should be true of the basket - don't know what was originally used to heat the air but todays small lightweight propane burners are probably leaps ahead of anything available in the past that well known engraving of the french king being carried aloft in a massive very ornate hot air ballon shows one way the air was heated in the old days - the basket was dougnut shaped and sat over a fire on the "launch pad" which sent heat up through the middle of the basket - the balloon was tethered until air was heated enough then the lines released leaving the balloon at the mercy of the winds - just as today when you wanted to descend you pull on a line that opens a flap to release the hot air - i cant tell just by looking at the old engravings but it appears the old balloons may have been built rigid like a blimp further adding to their weight
