What else can I help you with?
Name something that needs to travel slowly through air how does it manage this?
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
Can a natural gas stove kill you if the pilot goes out?
Yes, a natural gas stove can pose a danger if the pilot light goes out, as it may result in a buildup of gas in the area. If the gas accumulates and is ignited, it can cause an explosion or fire. Additionally, prolonged exposure to leaked gas can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which is life-threatening. It's crucial to ensure proper ventilation and to have a gas detector installed for safety.
Why does your pilot light keep going out on the direct vent gas water heater?
My direct vent furnace pilot light issue was the glass viewing port was missingallowing room air to blow out the pilot light. Replacing the missing glass which stopped the draft, fixed the problem.
Purpose of pilot study?
A pilot study is a small scale preliminary study. It is conducted in order to evaluate feasibility, time, cost; as well as adverse events and effect size.
What is a hot-air balloon pilot called?
A hot air balloon pilot is called an aeronaut.
What do you call the people that follow the balloon to help the pilot deflate the balloon and drive back to the launch field?
The people that follow the balloon to help the pilot deflate the balloon and drive back to the launch field are called the 'ground crew' or 'chase crew'.
Does a tethered helium balloon require a licensed pilot?
Yes. The pilot has to obtain atleast a Bronze certificate to pilot the balloon alone.
How do hot air balloons return to the ground?
Hot air balloons descend by gradually releasing hot air from the envelope. The pilot controls the descent by manipulating the amount of hot air in the envelope and finding a suitable landing spot. When the balloon reaches the desired altitude for landing, the pilot will release all the remaining hot air and bring the balloon gently back to the ground.
How does a balloon pilot control BOTH acsent and descent of a balloon?
A balloon pilot controls ascent by heating the air inside the balloon with a burner and descent by allowing the air to cool or venting it.
If the air balloon needs to carry more people. how can the pilot get the heavier load off the ground?
To lift a heavier load off the ground, the pilot can increase the temperature of the air inside the balloon by using the burner. As the air inside the balloon heats up, it becomes less dense than the cooler air outside, creating lift and enabling the balloon to rise with the heavier load. Additionally, the pilot can adjust the amount of ballast on board to help control the ascent.
What is the name for the pilot of a hot-air balloon or light aircraft?
The pilot is just 'the pilot'
How can a pilot reverse the direction of a balloon that is rising?
A pilot can reverse the direction of a rising balloon by adjusting its altitude control. This is typically done by releasing some of the buoyant gas, such as helium or hot air, allowing the balloon to descend. Alternatively, if the balloon is equipped with a ballast system, the pilot can drop weight to accelerate the descent. By managing these factors, the pilot can effectively change the balloon's vertical movement.
How a hot air balloon is lifted from the ground?
A hot air balloon is lifted from the ground by heating the air inside the balloon with a burner. As the air inside the balloon heats up, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. The pilot can control the ascent and descent of the balloon by adjusting the temperature of the air inside.
Who drives a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is typically piloted by a trained and licensed hot air balloon pilot who is responsible for navigating the balloon, controlling its altitude, and ensuring the safety of passengers on board.
How does the pilot maneuver a hot air balloon?
The pilot maneuvers a hot air balloon primarily by controlling the altitude through the use of a burner to heat the air inside the envelope, causing it to rise, or by allowing the air to cool, which makes the balloon descend. Horizontal movement is achieved by changing altitude to catch different wind currents, as the balloon has no steering mechanism. The pilot can navigate by ascending or descending to find favorable winds, guiding the balloon toward the desired direction. Communication with ground crew and using visual landmarks also aid in navigation.
