The ‘Mechanics’ of a Hot Air Balloon

Have you ever wondered how the hot air balloon works? Many of our customers obviously want to understand the principles behind its ‘mechanics’ in order to feel safe, prior to their booking a flight, perfectly understandable. So today’s featured blog will be all about what makes up a hot air balloon and what role each part plays. We will explain how the balloon works, including what makes it rise and fall and how the pilot manoeuvre’s the balloon in flight.

If we were to start with the real basics we’d explain how hot air rises and cool air descends, however, this is something we’re each taught as kids, so we won’t go into detail. However based on the knowledge you can understand that, that principle means that hot air entering the balloon itself will enable it to rise and therefore, without cool air the balloon is sure to descend. The balloon (called an envelope) has to be the large size that it is, as it takes this large a volume of heated air to lift it off the ground. To put this into perspective, a great example would be to consider that it would take 65,000 cubic feet of heated air to lift 1000 pounds worth of weight! In order to keep the balloon in the air and rising, hot air needs to be propelled upwards into the envelope using the burner.

A hot air balloon is made up of 3 main parts including:

The Envelope
The actual fabric balloon which holds the air

The Burner
The unit which propels the heat up inside the envelope

The Basket
Where the passengers and pilot stand

A hot air balloon burner uses propane gas in order to heat up the air in the envelope. It is the pilots job to keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight so that the balloon continues at a stable height. As hot air rises, very little hot air escapes from the hole at the very bottom of the envelope. So to move the balloon upwards the pilot opens up the propane valve which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn fires the flame up into the envelope.

In order to move the balloon down again, the ‘Parachute Valve’ at the very top of the balloon is used. This valve is simply a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelope which is controlled by a long chord that runs down through the middle of the envelope and into the basket. So when the pilot wants to lower the balloon he simply pulls on the chord opening the valve, which then releases hot air, decreasing the inner air temperature. This cooling of cause, allows the balloon to descend. In order to allow the balloon to lower gracefully, the pilot will use the burner less frequently.

The pilot is able manoeuvre the balloon horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon! As strange as this sounds, this is due to wind direction at different altitudes. So if the pilot wants to move in a particular direction they simply ascend or descend to the appropriate level and ride with the wind. But of course this is Britain and our weather does as it please, so we are limited to the variation in wind direction on the day which could only be 10 degrees and may not be consistent at all.

Say Happy Valentine’s The Romantic Way

Ahh, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching people and with less than three weeks to go, maybe it’s time you pull your socks up and get your special someone the gift they’ll remember for a lifetime. Is this the very special year that you’d like to make the all time most romantic gesture? Maybe you’re looking for the ultimate way to propose to your partner? On the other hand, you could just want to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style and knock the socks off your loved one! It would certainly impress!

As a woman and speaking from personal experience, I have to say that Yes, it does matter how you are proposed to! This day will be talked about for years to come. Your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will be told the story of how daddy/grandpa proposed to mummy/grandma and their eyes will glow with excitement as they hear the story. Let’s face it, what is the first question people ask when you say ‘we’re engaged!’? Its how did he ask (or she!)? Did he get down on one knee? Where were you? Was it romantic? And I can tell you, popping the question over the very mundane board game of Absolute Balderdash is NOT the way! *Sigh*, starting out this way doesn’t lead to Happy Ever Afters either!

No, the way to do it is certainly 3,000 feet in the air in a hot air balloon; it truly doesn’t get more perfect than that! It ticks all the boxes; well thought out, effort in preparation, romantic, big gesture, the ‘wow’ factor, memorable and lavish! Enough to make your special someone feel very treasured indeed!

So would you like to know more about how you can organise a balloon flight for your loved one this Valentine’s Day? Then get in touch with Balloons Over Britain! We have locations all across the UK and are taking bookings now. You can buy vouchers from as little as £89 and offer you the flexibility to book online, or to call us where we will happily take your bookings. Whatever questions you have we’re more than happy to help. Take a look at our FAQ where you will find the answers to our most frequently asked questions, or of course phone for assistance – 0845 071 6388.

Happy Valentine’s!

Blue Monday? How About Ballooning Monday!

Today is Blue Monday which is said to be the most depressing day of the year. A concoction of a number of factors such as cold weather conditions, debt (thanks to Christmas), time elapsed since the happy time that is Christmas, the failing of New Year’s resolutions and generally low motivational levels all adds up to create this typically sorrowful day.  So why not break this gloomy cycle and make it the happiest day of the year yet?! Create your own National Hugging Day, we all know a hug releases endorphins which can make us happy, so why not spread the joy? Don’t fancy that, well you would always make sure that each 3rd Monday of January you treat yourself to a nice big takeaway and a bottle of wine to put a smile on your face, or better still throw a party!

Here at Balloons Over Britain we have an even better idea; how about you book yourself an adventure to look forward to? You could be one click away from Hot Air Ballooning the New Year in; now there’s something to shout about. So when all your friends are confirming that yes indeed, their feeling the ‘blues’, you can show them your ballooning vouchers and exclaim that this has been the best day yet. Cheer up these long dark nights with the comfort of better things to come, with the knowledge that you have an experience of a lifetime to look forward to!
