What is a hot-air balloon?

Hot-air balloons are not only a means of space transportation but also a symbol of adventure and exploration. But have you ever wondered what exactly a hot air balloon is? This is an opportunity for us to learn about its basic operating principles and the interesting applications it brings.

How do hot-air balloons work?

Hot air balloons operate based on a basic principle of physics, which is the difference in gas density and temperature. This process involves three main factors: temperature, mass, and pressure.

• Principle of Temperature: When air is heated, it expands and becomes lighter than the surrounding cold air. In the case of a hot air balloon, the balloon is placed under a flame to bring it up to the required temperature. The ball will quickly become lighter and begin to rise.
• Mass Difference: As the balloon inside heats up and becomes lighter, the difference in mass between the balloon and the surrounding air creates lift. This force moves the ball upward, like a light blade of grass floating on water.
• Pressure: The difference in pressure between the inside of the balloon and the outside is another important factor. Greater pressure inside the balloon compared to surrounding air pressure pushes the balloon upward.

Combining all three of these elements, the hot-air balloon can float and move in the air. To lower the balloon, the operator can reduce the amount of temperature inside the balloon or release air from the balloon to increase its mass and reduce lift. The delicate combination of temperature, mass, and pressure makes hot air balloons an exciting and fascinating vehicle in the worlds of science and entertainment.

Common types of hot-air balloons

There are many popular types of hot air balloons, each with different characteristics, uses, and prices. Below are some typical types of hot-air balloons:

Hot Air Balloons

Uses the principle of heating the air inside the balloon to create lift. Usually a large spherical shape with a hot air tank at the bottom and a basket hanging under it for the operator and passengers. Combined with creative and rich colors, they are often decorated with unique images and symbols. Sizes can be very large, with diameters typically ranging from 10 to 30 meters or more, depending on the intended use.

Often used for entertainment and space tourism purposes. It is also used for advertising and special events. Prices range widely, from a few thousand dollars for a limited trip to tens of thousands of dollars for a premium experience.

Solar Balloon

Uses the effect of temperature to create lift. Usually shaped long and thin, like an air duct, with a core containing hot air. Usually, black or light colors absorb heat from sunlight. Sizes can vary, from a few meters to dozens of meters, depending on the specific purpose and design. With strong uses in scientific research and education. Can also be used for light entertainment.Popular and low-cost, suitable for educational purposes.

Gas Balloon

Use gas such as helium or hydrogen to create lift. Usually round or various spherical shapes with a gas tank in the middle. The colors are often vibrant and diverse, depending on the operator’s preferences or advertising purposes. Sizes usually range from a few meters to about 30 meters, but larger ones are possible depending on the intended use. Commonly used in special events, advertising, or hot air balloon racing competitions. Depending on the size and type of gas used, the price can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars.

Miniature Hot Air Balloon

Characteristics: compact, usually made from paper, and uses a small flame to heat the air inside. Compact and lightweight, often with small spheres or interesting shapes. The colors are often creative and suitable for small models, which can be decorated in many ways. They are usually small in size, from a few tens of centimeters to a few meters, making them ideal for educational and recreational activities.

Popular in carnival events, festivals, and educational activities. Universal and cheap, suitable for educational and light entertainment activities. However, the price may fluctuate depending on many factors, such as size, material, and specific use.

From discovering the nature of hot air balloons to seeing their diversity, our journey opens up a new and exciting world. A hot-air balloon is not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of adventure and the desire to explore. Let’s set out with HoaBinh Group in this sky of curiosity and magic!
