The first rubber balloons were made by Professor Michael Faraday in 1824 for use in his experiments with hydrogen at the Royal Institution in London. `The caoutchouc is exceedingly elastic', he wrote in the Quarterly Journal of Science the same year. `Bags made of it...have been expanded by having air forced into them, until the caoutchouc was quite transparent, and when expanded by hydrogen they were so light as to form balloons with considerable ascending power....' Faraday made his balloons by cutting round two sheets of rubber laid together and pressing the edges together. The tacky rubber welded automatically, and the inside of the balloon was rubbed with flour to prevent the opposing surfaces joining together.

How do hot air balloons descend?
They have to let out the hot air a little at a time.
What gas is used for a hot airballoon?
I am fairly sure that hot air balloons use normal air. They rely more on the idea of bouyancy rather than using specal gases, such as helium. The hot air inside of the balloon is more bouyant than the cold air outside of the balloon. So that makes the balloon ascend till the temperature of the air inside of the balloon is equal to the temperature of the air outside of the balloon. Then as the air inside the balloon gets colder, the balloon starts to descend.
A deflated hot-air balloon weighs a total of 8000 n filled with hot air the balloon rises to a height of 1000 m how much work is accomplished by the hot air?
8J
What elements are used in an air balloon?

What is the direction control of an hot air balloon?

Why does a hot air balloon fly?
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
Why is an hot air balloon called a hot air balloon?
Because the fire or heating device heats the air in the top section ( the actual balloon ) and hot air rises... so the hot air trapped in the balloon makes the balloon rise :)
How is a hot balloon lifted into the air?
to make a hot air balloon rise you use hot air
What is weight of hot air balloon?
a hot air balloon virtually weighs negative lbs but it would depend on how hot the air is in the balloon.
What is the Tagalog of hot air balloon?

Which brothers created the hot air balloon?
Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier
When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?
D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
Why does balloon fly?
The hot air inside the balloon expands, making the hot air balloon fly.
