How do you make the air balloon rise higher?

By puting more hot air into it thus creating lift. hot air rises cold air lowers, so when the hot air is traped it has no were else to go but up so it brings the hot air balloon with it. And to decend a flap at the the top of the balloon opens by itsefl to let hot air out and to let you down.
