Gas Balloon World Record

[farooque72]

nice



[koffypr]

wow, That must have been awesome ! Man, i wish i did something like that.

[TheSuperMegaUltraMan]

Hydrogen? BALLOON? GIANT?!?!

Someone! Hold it near fire! Now!

[jacegil]

Thanks for responding, that was very enlightening. I'm fascinated with that stuff but unfortunately my mind is absolutely closed to any kind of understanding of physics, but your explanation does help.

[intermitrj]

Free Energy is real and its here but the coverup is strong, if u are interested in a REAL free energy machine then

just go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and download the blueprints ,it is probably the ONLY working magnet

motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!

[DinkyInkyCloudyKinky]

@intermitrj there's never "free" energy. There is renewable energy, not free. Nothing in this world is free

[antochig11]

at 8:52 you can see her boobs



[raid517]

How does one get involved in a sport like this? Is it expensive?

[coil311]

Fantastic story, great video. Thanks!

[jacegil]

I have a question to ask about lifting force. There are medium-sized helium balloons that are used to have people be tied to them and jump, reach a certain height, and slowly descend. Now for that to happen (descend) the lifting force of the balloon obviously needs to be less than the combined weight of the person and balloon. If there is a -20 lbs lifting force, how come the person doesn't come crashing at a speed at which a 20 lbs object would if it fell from the same height?

[TomHilditch]

@jacegil A balloon tends to be larger than most 20lb objects, thus the air resistance is more, for example when you take 2 sheets of paper and crunch one up, the crunched up one lands first despite being the same weight.

[Soulrider2012]

@jacegil Because even when landing there is a certain amount of lift happening. Think of it as being more close to neutral lift but only slightly less. It's not as though at the end there is NO lift going on. If that were the case then yes, they would drop like a stone.

I don't agree with the other person's answer (wind resistance) simply because at that slow of a speed wind resistance is going to be almost nothing and won't have virtually any effect.

[TomHilditch]

@Soulrider2012 If there was lift the balloon would not descend, the weight of the balloon has to be negative for it to descend, my initial answer is correct, due to the Hydrogen and the size of the balloon the density of the weight when it is say 20lbs more than the lift of the balloon is far less than a 20lbs lead weight and far more air has to be displaced. Same with a skydiver; the weight is the same before and after the parachute opens but the open parachute creates more resistance.

[TomHilditch]

@Soulrider2012 also wind resistance and air resistance are two different things, a balloon travels with the wind so whilst airborne there is no air resistance except when moving between different directions and/or speeds at different altitudes thus having wind hitting the top of the balloon differently to at the bottom as it climbs or descends between the different winds.

[TheMissOMG]

haha its like you have to pee or poo so u pee over board n someones like " yellow rain?" and u poo overboard n someones like " hail doesn't smell or look like this..."

[curea229]

Cool!!!

[Ipoonthecasbah]

wtf... they sent an F-18 up to congratulate them. How many litres of oil do those things burn per second?

I'll bet thousands of African kids could've been fed with the money spent on that flight.

This is however, blind speculation from an asshole in a desk chair.

[curea229]

@Ipoonthecasbah I'm sure the pilot would've flown another training flight that day and burned up just as much fuel.

[TomHilditch]

Truly outstanding video. I'm jealous of you both, looks like such an amazing flight. Wish I could fly Hydrogen, one day hopefully :)

[H20Infinity]

Ooohhh :S.... Too High XD

....Tell Me When They Land O_- Lol

[dino01]

and now where is that 747 smashing in to the balloon

[david7992]

the american president is using them to blow up the pentegon and sky scrapers.

[martynardelli]

gas balloons?

[TwoBarWarrior]

sweet

[tbrowniscool]

what a view......Spliff time!!! woop woop

[txfirehawk]

@tbrowniscool lolololllllzzzzzz  :D

[basherofnoggins]

@tbrowniscool On a hydrogen balloon? Think it through...

[tbrowniscool]

@basherofnoggins

if its leaking then they could egnite it.. but if i was they would be dropping and such a view would be gone, meaning spliff time wouldnt happen...think it through..

[solarbeam555]

where did you go to the toilet??. i know everyone is thinking it

[battyboyben]

chocolate rain

[KurdstanPlanetarium]

Hydrogen filled gas balloon is always a wonderful sight to watch it was one of my fantasy to fly one, thought flight in a hellium filled balloon but it was tethered one flew to height 200 m.

i congratualte these two women record breakeers on their epic journey..i wish them all the success in future..

[djassimilator]

There was one lighter chained to the table in the smoking room it's amazing they didn't blow up sooner crazy germans but the coolest way of travelling though shame the didn't make it safer with helium or something not sure it's flamable though so i'm no scientist.

[JimmyPageIsALegend]

4:44 groynes! yay, totally irrelevant ;)

[liltitch1997]

Nottingham im from there

[arminask]

one of those records no one cares about...

[northieee]

8.49 lol

Drunk as hell

[djassimilator]

well done didn't the germans go to america in hydrogen baloons i'm guessing you don't smoke during your flight. Have you seen the hindenberg disaster hydrogen balloons are dangerous you brave.

[hughes7520]

The germans actualy built fireproof 'smoking rooms' into thier Air Ship's so thier first class passengers could smoke. Stupid idea but they did it.

[joetri10]

some of u guys commenting bad are idiots. u fail to understand what this is.. and it was prob amazing doing this... i would get to paranoid after a few hours though '.'

[joetri10]

so high o.O

[nickbaldeagle01]

Should've taken the chunnel. Only takes 25 minutes.

[azual123]

Engines with Hydrogen Baloons is litraly a suicide message

also the engines would only blow the cabin so the cabin would get unstable

[xhiltonx]

so you cant control it. it just flows with the wind.

[themunster2]

wooo go great britan

[NornIronLegends]

This is gay

[kungfupanda97]

Why do you think this is gay? Have you got a mental disorder?

[NornIronLegends]

Its Geekalicious

[DominicSantiago123]

congratulations

[Forgotentruths]

6:40 : wait let me think what goes over a WATERfall urrrrrmmmmmrmmm oh yeh WATER

[IXKillfullXI]

Wait, let me think what clouds are made of. ummmm oh yea WATER!

[andrewthebestes]

How can you go 2 days without peeing or craping?

[beastdude]

they go over the side :P

[andrewthebestes]

well its easy for a guy, he can just stick it out from the edge, but a woman has to sit on the edge. and there are the aircrafts flying there so they can see em when they they r peing or crappin.

[iamabsFTW]

the sky isnt that crowded dude.

how many times have you seen another aircraft while on a plane? let alone seen another close enough to see what somebody is doing?

[andrewthebestes]

well still its not easy for women to sit on de edge

[nogginthefroggin]

I'd like to go in a quiet gas balloon, order pizza (assuming I can use a mobile phone in a hydrogen balloon). I'd ask the chef to stand outside, close his/her eyes and raise the pizza aloft. I'd silently swoop in and grab the tasty morcel. Aside from all that nonsense, this was a great video, very well done.

[thejamescaseyshow]

I think i would die of scaredyness

[biglonie]

8:50 nipples again!

[oPatchYx]

OMG NIPPLES!

Freak.

[orbital151]

Why does it matter what gender you are?

[MSI2k]

Because of the sheer basic physical differences between Male and Female endurances. Just like having a male/female 100m race would be disadvantageous to the ladies, the baloon records are also a similar case.

[kungfupanda97]

So you think gas balloons have genders???!!! If you think so... WOW...

[marriagestarts]

lol

[biglonie]

nipples 9:00

[MSI2k]

ugh.. I hadn't noticed earlier. And I'm not sure I'm thrilled to have you tell me about those particular nips.

[biglonie]

hahaha sorry. all in the name of science!

[xTRVLNMANx]

That would be an INCREDIBLE scenery to see!

[jacelogan]

I WOULD BE SOOO FUCKIN SCARED

[Ganxiba]

●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬●

[Imaducklol]

Who let these women out form the kitchen?

[Shadowhuntxxx]

hahaha good 1

[woodesroger]

this is no place for that, its a science channel

[nawitus]

Gender specific records are quite dull.

[TrustKovacss]

they didn't even makout!..FAIL

[Whitestripes33]

Their reaction to that explosion at 1:47 made me laugh.

[darkn66s]

nice!!!!

[ganymedeIV4]

must of kicked alot of ass to float up in the sky for that long without having to hear engines roar or motors hum (besides warming up some air)

wonder what sort of signal lights you need to have on a ballon to fly it at night.

lol sure as hell wouldn't want to get chopped up by a news copter paying attention to the ground.

[ruthi]

there is no air to heat up, these balloons fly with hydrogen and sand only.

They have flashers similar to anti collision lights on fixed wing aircrafts.

[samuraisokolata]

Just replying to an immature comment.

[samuraisokolata]

You probably mean ''sorry that was a really stupid question my knowledge about the world is pre-medieval, I have still a lot to learn thank you for answering my question''

[klears]

wow.. im amaze...

[beatboy001]

Very nice,interesting video , nice idea and hobby .

[AnjiMilan]

very awesome

[imadelovetobmx]

so u just go were the wind takes ya?

[gotomstergo]

can you have sex on the balloon?

[Figo311]

WOW!!

[ryguyryan]

yeah... how would you go to the washroom...

[VancouverCanucksRock]

The food made me wonder...Do they crap ballast over the side?

[samuraisokolata]

So you wanted to know how they see at night to continue their course... That was beyond my underestimation levels ...

[stephanhamel]

Hydrogen?? Why not Helium? I  thought that history has proven Helium to be a bit safer....

[knockdoun]

8:53 nipple!

[RainAlpert]

She's cold!

[iMattTech]

Why would you point that out?

[phenforreal]

awesome. Congratulations to the pilots!

[AnotherNutJob]

At 1:48 I could'nt stop laughing at their reaction.

[CasualMaggot]

what an amazing journey! I'm a bit scared of heights, so i don't know if i would ever be able to do that.

[YankeeSpike]

i saw one the other day and i took a picture of it.

[malaguenabeni]

isnt it cold high above in the air

the woman is standeing with a t shirt

XD

[phattown213]

ʎuoo11ɐq ɐ uo ob oʇ ʇuɐʍ ı

[cccyberfamilydk]

Congratulations.

[Gangsterbowser]

0:30 WOW!!!

[k00dmth]

SUCKS

[greenboy215]

Gas = explosion

[AlexTRlc]

I Think they use the window! jajajajja

[crazysally1011]

how do you use the bathroom?!

[Mewfan]

Lol i was wondering about the same thing xD

[Clayguy247]

wow, that's beautiful! I love planes, but a balloon might be a little to much....

[PA16803]

Where and what did they do about bowel movements

[Clayguy247]

hang over the side and... well... 'nough said....

[donnyab]

backside over the side of course...chocs away

[squirreltrooper]

i dont see any kitchens in that balloon... is this legal then

[jmvneto51]

A good GPS would be enough to give all those informations. A GPS gives you traveling speed, distance, positioning, altitude! Needs more? It just doesnt give you balls, thats all :)

[HanzOOn]

im wondering how to shit and pee? xD

[Rabieskatten002]

That was cool! I would like to be in a ballon too! ^^

[samuraisokolata]

You are complicating with no reason. They either use either batteries or solar energy.

[VibrationMusicality]

did they die?

[samuraisokolata]

Why?

[andreiduffy]

wow... i am amazed you didn't die...

[vantts]

i would shit my self if i were up there

[phattown213]

my point exactly. how did they shit up there?

[mreza7]

how about the toilet

[badnews2008ad]

CGI obviously faked.

[NintendoDevil]

Wow. a featured video actually worth watching...

[samuraisokolata]

What are *you* talking about? I can't understand why you find the use of battery powered lighting devices while airborne absurd ....

[EQUES383]

YOU'RE BRAVE.

[068110719814]

and when they sleep and how and where at the ballon because there no place

[documentariesforlife]

oh no, two women in a basket? what if they get periods, get angry and start scratching each other?

[darklight436]

hilarious but offensive

[TheEpicMonkie]

dun dun dun...

[xxyanlizkurtxx]

COOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!

[documentariesforlife]

its not windy up there?

[Lookstwice]

..they don´t, you can´t steer a ballon you just go with the wind....

[vaj99]

How do they steer these balloon?

[Jo2Be]

they in - and decrease the amount of gas in the balloon. that way they can steer the direction it's headding

[samuraisokolata]

It's not funny to pretend to be retarded..

[DaSkateChannel]

HOW DID THEY GO TO THE BATHROOM !??

[jonbal2001]

just pee into the air? they're the ones who knew it. hahaha...

[DaSkateChannel]

but they are chicks, hahah hole in the bottom? litteraly

[JBodine67]

Very impressive....Do they take a couple parachutes,just in case??

[datruth363]

.....

[xxxcasrasxxx]

Cool

[ketammerah]

WOW... BEAUTIFUL BALLOON!!!

[samuraisokolata]

They don't sell batteries in your town do they...

[GamerBoy53]

Don't lean off the edge.

[socratesthecabdriver]

bravo!!!!!!

[xenekaro]

I love clouds. :D

[Farfalotis]

I almost forgot....

TEEEEEEEEEEEEETH!

[blabla5468]

gratz ^^

[sanity1001]

Well done girls, what an experience!

[Francis6911]

teeth.................

[pedrocapedro]

Congratulation!! Wonderful.

[nzisaac]

achggxcg

[TanekDK]

yeah breadcrumpsman, USA, the only country in the world, right?

[DenDX]

lol

[breadcrumpsman]

WE can spend money on something better and more useful

now i know where our stolen money go

[TheCanadamerican]

I would laugh if the balloon popped.

[WoWDracko]

You wouldn't be laughing if you were the one in it.

[agingstoner]

Thanks for sharing something much better than the usual crap on youtube. Can you do it in hi def next time?

[irn00bz]

Heh, just about to start talk " BOOM" OAU!.

[RetroVGamer]

Congrats!

[Ioganstone]

looking down at the landscape makes me want to puke

[c3pcock]

dat bitch is fine!

[josh12567890]

that would suck ass if there where to be a lightning storm or something and they where caught in the middle of it =p

[17Mike71]

I was thinking that Lol. What happend if there was a tornado would they be over it or in it O.o

[tagolino]

I was wondering how do you shit in a baloon.

[DoubleEyeDominance]

you and me both buddy.

But I actually think that they either had a box that they would use, or either some sort of compartment on the balloon's carriage that would allow one to defecate.

[Dan4157]

omg me too....

[agingstoner]

On long flights they probably take along a port-a-potty.

[dashiznit1001]

or a slot under the baloon lol
