  • It is possible to use methane to fill balloons. However, Methane has poor lifting capacity and has other safety defects and has never been widely used. Refer to links below for more information.
  • The hot air balloon obtains its buoyancy by heating the air inside the balloon. It has become the most common type.
  • The gas balloon is inflated with a gas of lower molecular weight than the ambient atmosphere. Most gas balloons operate with the internal pressure of the gas the same as the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.
  • Gas balloons are usually filled with gases such as:
    • hydrogen - originally used extensively but since the Hindenburg disaster is now seldom used due to its high flammability.
    • helium - used today for all airships and most manned gas balloons.

What is the shape of air in the balloon?

The air inside a balloon takes the shape of the balloon itself. It expands to fill the space within the balloon, conforming to its size and shape.


Why does a hot air balloon need a burner to work?

To keep it hot you. The REASON they use a 'Burner' in a Hot Air Balloon is to 'heat the Air, to 'fill' the Balloon, so it will 'rise'... The only other way to get the air Hot enough to fill the Balloon, would be to make the 'Basket' MUCH, MUCH Larger, and fill it with Liberals, and just let them talk. BUT, I don't think the Balloon would ever get off the ground, because, the BULLCRAP would counteract the Hot Air, and they would cancel each other out...


How do you make a hot air balloon without fire?

One way to make a hot air balloon without fire is to use a heat source other than flame, such as a heat gun or hair dryer, to fill the balloon with hot air. The hot air will cause the balloon to rise and float. Make sure to use caution and follow proper safety measures when using alternative heat sources.


Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?

A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.


Why do hot air balloons float in the ar?

As the air in the balloon is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, or that is, becomes lighter. This then provides lift to the balloon and the basket. The reason the air in the balloon expands, is because as it is heated, the molecules of air move faster and spread out to fill the entire volume of the balloon.

Can you use methane for fill balloon?

It is possible to use methane, but not advisable as methane gas is harmful


When a gas like helium is used to fill balloons it does what and takes the shape of the balloon?

When helium is used to fill a balloon, it expands to fill the space inside the balloon due to its low density. The helium gas takes the shape of the balloon because it moves and distributes evenly throughout the balloon's interior.


How do you use a water balloon launcher?

To use a water balloon launcher, follow these steps: Fill a water balloon with water. Place the water balloon in the pouch of the launcher. Pull back on the launcher and release to launch the water balloon towards the target.


What happens to a balloon when you fill it with air?

When you fill a balloon with air, the air molecules displace the surrounding space inside the balloon, causing the balloon to expand and stretch. The pressure of the air inside the balloon exceeds the pressure outside, creating tension in the balloon material, which keeps it inflated.


What gas is in a land fill?

methane


What is the safest gas to use in a balloon?

Helium is the safest gas to fill in balloons, as it is light and noncombustable.


What is the balloon lifting power ration of methane gas and air?

well i believe hellium is the best thing to power a *balloon as when i used to go to narnia brewsters we used to get balloons to don't use methane as it come from cows dariares, thankyou good luck getting this question right.


When you insert a balloon into a bottle and you pump air into the balloon why the balloon will not fill up the bottle?

The air in the balloon will have a difficult time expanding to fill the bottle because the bottle is already filled with air at atmospheric pressure, which creates resistance. The pressure inside the balloon needs to overcome the pressure inside the bottle in order for the balloon to expand and fill the bottle.


How do you fill up the balloon on mission 8 on club penguin?

You fill up the balloon by asking G for the super helium.


How do you blow up a balloon without blowing?

One way to blow up a balloon without blowing into it is to use a hand pump to inflate the balloon with air. Another method is to use a helium tank and nozzle to fill the balloon with helium gas, which will make it float.


If you wanted to make a balloon float in the air which gas should you use to fill the balloon?

Helium gas is lighter than air and hence balloons filled with helium will float in air.


Which material most protects eggs?

Bubble wrap, foam, and Styrofoam. You could use that or you could put it in side a balloon and fill the balloon up with helium. I tried it and it really does work.
