Hot Air Balloons

by Mark Marchant
People first experienced flying by using a hot air balloon. The first-ever recorded hot air balloon
flight was in France in the summer of 1783. Two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfer,
experimented with paper models heated by hot air at their family’s paper factory. On the day of their
launch, thousands of people turned out to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off. The French King
Louis XVI was among the crowd. The balloon’s maiden flight was a great success. Hot air ballooning
became an instant national triumph for France. The French nation loved the Montgolfers, who were
seen as a shining example of the country’s new age of adventure and invention.
However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The passengers in the hot air
balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple of months later, on 21 November 1783,
two brave men called Marquis Francois d’Arlandes and Pilatre de Rozier entered the history books
as the world’s first people to take safely to the air.
The Montgolfer’s design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use today. Hot air
balloons work on a very basic scientific theory. Warm air rises up through cooler air. Warm air in the
balloon makes the hot air balloon rise up through the cooler air surrounding it. To stay airborne, the
balloon needs to remain hotter than the surrounding air. As the air inside the balloon cools, the
balloon drops slowly towards the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath the balloon warms up
the air inside the balloon and makes it rise again.

My favorite toy is a kite. Layang-layang or a kite is a very popular pastime toy

in Indonesia. Many people liketo play it. There are two distinct types of kites. The first are
those which have tails attached to them to balance the kite; and those that will be used for
one-on-one dogfights among kite flyers.
Kites for dogfights are popular among boys. They do not have tails attached to them. They
are made from light bamboo and waxed paper. The string is the most important part in kites
for dogfighting. It must be sharp so it can cut other strings easily. To make such kind of string
is not easy. It must be coated with crushed glass. The string is dipped in a solution of crushed
glass, which has been boiled with glue, chemicals and dye. The mixture acts as an adherent so
the tiny particles of glass will cling to the string. The string is strung out on a small rack to let
it dry. This string is used for dogfights.
