Hot Air Balloon Flights
Hot air hotel............?
Hi okay so my cousin owns a hot air balloon and has clearance to fly between michigan, wisconsin, illinois, and minnesota. he is cleared to fly his balloon anywhere there. He runs this thing called the hot air hotel and he has a huge basket type thing in which he has 5 rooms. He takes people up and lets' them stay there while he travels from these places. Recently i was asked to work in his balloon as a flight attendant/hotel manager, but i am not sure if i should. The hotel is totally enclosed under the balloon. I am being serious by the way. It sounds really fun but idk. My current job is a flight attendant and he said he would pay me more if that helps any. It sounds really really fun but im not certain. What should i tell him?
Thanks!
☼Sunny Days!☼
Tell him you have a wonderful imagination

Waterloo Ontario Hot Air Balloon Ride
What is the theoretical max flight height of a hot air ballon?
A few days ago I saw a mini hot air balloon consisting of only a burner and a cloth. As it ascended towards the sky it got me thinking; if that thing had infinite fuel, how high would it be able to fly? And wouldn't it ascend faster as the atmosphere gets colder?
A hot air balloon works by heating the air inside the canopy, which causes it to expand. Because the canopy is open at the bottom, the some of the air molecules escape out of the bottom. What's left is fewer molecules occupying the same volume of air - that means lower density, and lower weight!
The large canopy displaces a volume of cool air in the atmosphere. That gives you a bouyant force, equal to the weight of that cool air, which tends to lift the balloon up. When the bouyant force is greater than the weight of the balloon, including the canopy, the burner, and the hot air inside it, the balloon goes up.
So, as you heat the air inside the canopy, you cause it to expand more and more, which makes it less and less dense, giving you less and less weight to lift. But, as you go up, the density of the atmosphere starts to go down, which means the weight of the displaced volume of air goes down. That means your bouyant force goes down, too.
(You're right that the temperature of the air goes down as you go higher, but it's the density that is critical. Density is inversely related to temperature, and directly related to pressure, and the pressure goes down more quickly than the temperature, so density goes down with altitude.)
You can imagine, in the limit, you have a super strong, super light material to make your balloon canopy from. Then, instead of heating the air to make it less dense, you could seal off the canopy, and pump the air out. Remember, your canopy is super strong, so you can pump all the air out, and it will still hold its shape. So now, the weight of the air inside the canopy is 0 lb. Your canopy is also super light - let's say it weighs 0 lb! Then you can get rid of everything else - no burner, no basket, and the total weight of the balloon is 0 lb.
Now, as long as you have even a tiny bouyant force, it will be greater than the weight of the balloon. So displacing any air at all will cause you to move upward. Now, at very high altitudes, there's not much air to displace. But even in space, there's a couple of molecules. So you'll continue to rise away from Earth infinitely, or at least until you start to get to some gas molecules that are more strongly attracted to another body. Then, you'll start moving away from that body. Plus, the solar wind will start pushing you around.
Of course, there's no such thing as a weightless balloon canopy, and it certainly couldn't hold its shape under a complete vacuum. The real maximum height a balloon can reach is determined by its volume, its weight, the weight of the air in the canopy, and the density of the atmosphere it flies in.
The weight of the air in the canopy is related to how much heat energy you can put in, but you'll lose some heat energy to the surrounding atmosphere through the canopy. Plus, there's a limit to how hot the air can get before it melts or burns through the canopy, and then you're really in trouble!
As a point of reference, the record altitude for a hot air balloon flight is almost 69,000 ft, set in 2005 by Vijaypat Singhania.
Another point of reference - closed balloons filled with helium or hydrogen are used to reach altitudes of as much as 120,000 ft. Hydrogen and helium are lighter than air, so they are bouyant, just like the hot air in a hot air balloon. But because the balloon is closed, as it goes up into lower pressure air, the trapped hydrogen/helium stretch the bag, giving it more volume, and thus displacing more air.
I hope that helps you out!

Yeah, I think he got Abducted as well. There have been a few people going missing lately and never turn up. 2 people went missing in Perth not so long ago. Never to be seen again. Aliens, Theey're sneaky little Buggers. I wouldn't put it past them.
Then again, Fossett may have gone on Holiday without telling anyone. Maybe he went to get a loaf of bread? You don't know if he really loved his missus? Yeah, I still think Aliens is the best answer though. Do do do do,,,,,,,,,,, Dooooooooo!
seems to me like this guy really likes you, and was there for you when you went though a rough time after the break up. dump your current bf that cheated on you and get back with the other guy.
Hah, I had no idea he writes a song for each month, I hope he does though: )
An official in Tanzania says an American and a Danish tourist have died after the hot air balloon they were riding in over the country’s Serengeti National Park crashed.
It's worth it if you're into great views and great photo opportunities. Not so great if you're afraid of heights. I would advise against going on a windy day because even though it's quite large it REALLY sways in the wind!
