A British designer reused the fabric from the old Virgin Balloon to create a clothing line. Otherwise, because the nylon used becomes very porous after being exposed to a lot of heat and UV light, it is not very recyclable.

How does a hot air baloons fly?

Hot air balloons fly by heating the air within the balloon envelope, which causes it to become less dense than the surrounding air. This difference in density creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise. By controlling the temperature of the air inside the balloon, the pilot can make the balloon ascend or descend.


What was necesary for the hot air ballon to be succesfull?

A hot air balloon needs to carry a means of producing more hot air to keep the envelop inflated and lifting in flight. Otherwise, as the initial hot air cools, so the balloon will descend to the ground.


Does a hot air balloon use the pneumatic system or hydraulic system?

Neither. Pneumatic equipment uses air, under pressure, to convey mechanical energy from one place to the other. Hydraulic equipment uses water for the same reason. A hot-air balloon uses less dense hot air to fill it's balloon. Due to gravity the more dense cold air sinks down and pushes the hot air filled balloon up. The burner uses a mechanical arm with a spring (with a string and handle attached) to control the amount flame.


What force does a hot air balloon use to keep itself in the air?

A hot air balloon uses buoyancy to stay in the air. The air inside the balloon is heated, making it less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to float.


What uses the same principle as a hot air balloon?

A blimp or airship uses the same principle as a hot air balloon, relying on the difference in density between the air inside the balloon (or envelope) and the surrounding air to generate lift. Both rely on the concept of buoyancy to stay aloft.


What is the craft that uses heat to gain altitude?

A Hot Air balloon.


What is the purpose of the flame that is lit below a hot air balloon?

To increase enthalpy.the burner uses flames to heat the air so the balloon will rise


How does a burner flame cause a balloon to rise and stay aloft?

As the flame burns it heats the air around it making the air less dense than the cooler air above, the warm air particles rise to the top of the balloon and the balloon rises with the air. Essentially a hot air balloon uses a convection current to stay in the air.


What type of energy is a hot air ballon?

A hot air balloon uses thermal energy, which is a form of kinetic energy generated from the heat of the air inside the balloon causing it to rise.


What is used in a hot air balloon?

Hydrogen is used. Sorry. Just regular air is used in a hot air balloon, it is heated which makes it lighter and less dense and therefore provide lift. Hence the name hot air balloon. Hydrogen is used in a gas balloon.


Can you develop a balloon that produces the same result as a hot air balloon but uses cold air?

yes but it is a long and difficult process. I could use a lot of fancy terms but bottom line is you have to cool the air around the balloon but it is energy wasting
