What else can I help you with?
What gases are used in hot air balloons to make it work?
Heated air, like what you breath.
Why is hydrogen used to inflate hot air balloons?
Hydrogen is not used to inflate hot air balloons. Just regular air is used which is then heated to make the balloon more buoyant as hot air weighs less than cold air. Hence the name hot air balloons.
When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air?
Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.
What are hot air balloons used for now a days?
Hot air balloons are now mostly used for leisure
What materials do air balloons usually use?
gas tank, plastic, wood
Is helium only used in balloons and air ships?
Helium is the most used gas for balloons; sometimes hot air and rarely hydrogen.
How do hot air balloons use air to fly?
Hot air balloons use the fact that hot air rises as a way to make balloons fly. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it rises, and this creates lift which is used to make the balloon fly.
Is helium used in hot air balloons?
No, it is not. "Regular" air is used, and it is heated. Hot air is less dense than cooler air, and it will rise. If hot air is trapped in an envelope, it will give lift to the envelope and an attached payload.
Does nitrous oxide make balloons float?
Nitrous oxide does not make balloons float. Helium gas is typically used to make balloons float due to its low density compared to air. Nitrous oxide is commonly used as a propellant in whipped cream dispensers and in medical settings for its anesthetic properties.
Which gas is used in hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons are typically filled with hot air, rather than a gas, in order to make them buoyant and rise in the air. The air inside the balloon is heated by a burner attached to the basket, which causes the balloon to lift off the ground.
Why is heluim in air balloons?
Helium is used to inflate balloons because it is lighter than air and that makes the balloon float.
What is added to balloons and hot air balloons?
Balloons can be filled with air (don't float), or with hydrogen or helium (float because the gas is less dense). Hot air balloons use burners to heat the air so that it becomes slightly less dense than the cooler air around it, providing some lift.
