Homemade Hot Air Balloon

[Nelmes007]

how do u make it

[AndyARDK]

I'm planning on rigging a small video camera to a balloon. I love to lunch pad, If you added a on board burner that balloon would go miles !

[anth69y]

it cools down to quickly without the heat source attached to the balloon. best to use paper as the plastic bags will choke animals etc and not degrade for years and years

[sgurica]

Aww that sucks that it got lost

[alohachristine]

Wow that was amazing. I'm so glad my husband and I ran across this. Thank you for sharing your clever idea!

[GOGO654654]

it looks like a flying condom

[Bjrec]

well. it flies rather well.

[Xhiiable]

How did you use the thread? where did you put it? Reply asap! We're planning to try this.

[Anto0044]

@Xhiiable

We used a sewing-machine to link the garbage bags together, like if they were fabric. To make the joints more sealed, we covered them with tape. Good luck with yours!

[Xhiiable]

@Anto0044 Thank you very much. Is it okay if we will use only the tape to sealed the edges of the bin bags? What do you think?

[Anto0044]

@Xhiiable

Yes, I think so. The sewing-thread didn't help very much.

[Anto0044]

@Xhiiable

Yes, I think so. The sewing-thread didn't help very much, but of course, it made the ballon stronger.

[pjwithbread8]

@Xhiiable you can also try melting the bags together with a blow dyer on the highest setting.

[izanesmith]

@Xhiiable You can just use one trash bag of anyzize. Get about 4 feet of masking tape and lite it and put the bag over it and wait and it will take off I tried it it rocks

[OI8APC2]

Good to see young people using their brains for something other than rolling joints or playing video games. Good job fellas!!!

[XxXdjburak44XxX]

Nice Work  :)

[MasterPokemon2000]

hey make a white colored hot air balloon on halloween and but a scary face on it lol

[thismanonfire]

nice rough draft, but what is the legality on the issue of utilizing air space? and you really should think of the safety issues. but overall, excellent work. you could try an anchor to satisfy safety concerns. you also need some device to act as a base for the fire so it can be carried off and keep the balloon afloat.

[qbvet]

Grymt killar! :)

[PaulFSemicolen01]

Love the starfox music!!!

[dimaflour]

loll

[josiahBLOGS]

Brilliant homemade stunt for children to be engaged with! To have the idea, make it and see the successful floating result is so rewarding. Great video!

[FLStudioSongs]

make next time with cam :)

[JEHIAHL]

great job guys!

[JadenXYuki]

haha at the end the air becomes less hot and the bag falls on someone :D but nice hot air balloon though

[Lovesgoats]

lol imagine it getting stuck on someone's windshield in traffic

[JadenXYuki]

@Lovesgoats that wud be a killer ;)

[Lovesgoats]

@JadenXYuki

hahaha

[LuminescenceCreation]

@Lovesgoats ROFL

[TeamZulu1]

the ones we made are so much easier!

Plastic Bag, wooden sticks/coffee stirers/plastic knives and a firelighter... thats it.

please come to my Channel and see the ones we made and set off.

[thegatorguy111]

ok then can u send me the link of your video? your page isnt loading... idk y

[mwells123]

UFO!

[Pujc]

Good job ! look wery funny :) All good from hungary ,MAke again a one with a lil fire in it , . okay trought all look cool 5*

[thefasman22]

now people will think its a ufo

[Fly1ngCactus]

awesome!

[akonamanliwat]

this is actually one way of littering the space. LMAO

joke!

^_^

[ThreeCheersForBryan]

it was really cool, but it would have flown farther if you would have built the heat source into the balloon instead of having one one the ground. still awesome though :-)

[Corvettes1984]

AH! so those are the UFOs!!! LOL....

Here are easy steps on how to make an UFO.

Get many black balloons, tie several small flashlight to the balloons. Tie the balloons to each other to make the shapes as if it looks like a flying saucer, then you let it go at night and it looks like an UFO! LOL.....

[AerostatMilpitas]

Good sense to keep the fire on the ground. Nice work.

[Anto0044]

Thanx =)

[mantorkel]

what would happend if one taped it shut?

[Anto0044]

Good point! It would probably fly little longer.

[stuntboarding]

F this video we just made one with a historic new fuel source. this 5 footer went upwards of a thousand feet vertically. and we chased it in the el Camino and watched it land 5 miles from launch point. we will be making a video explaining the best way to make a homemade hot air balloon before the end of 2008. peace losers.

[gjgjkg]

i gotta give it to you, that was pretty good... ive just done something similar but on a much smaller sale with a sterno rofl

[Aceburg713]

litter bugs

[DeathAndMajesty]

Call of Duty is still more fun :P

[stevergrantspass]

Me and my brothers used to do the same thing back in the late 1960s in So. Califorina USA. We would build a fire in a BBQ and funnel the hot air from the fire through an 8" stove pipe- about 10 long into the balloon. We constructed the balloon out of thin mill plastic painter's drop cloths. We would enclose the plastic tarp by using a clothes iron to heat sealing. We used a draw sting to close the botton of the balloon-- and it would fly several miles. WILD FUN!!!

[tambor74]

how much time is in the sky? very good experiment.-

[tony220171]

So that was the 1st sputnic

[jaytjuh575]

next time make fire in it, then it float much longer cus the air gets filled

[V0ree]

Woow, this balloon is very very cool ! :D:D

[MOZZWIGAN]

funny enuf we jus made a mini one it flew for ages lol had a firelighter attached to it, it went out of view

[ffelonyj]

no esta conmadre

[RoboTekno]

that's hilarious!

[closetpunk2006]

I saw a face in that balloon while it was being inflated!

[mophead340]

why don't you put a string on it next time?

then you could control it in the air.

[Anto0044]

It was hot. The warm air from the fire made it fly.

[crossbones64]

it looks like a black ghost lol

[BloodyScreams]

you'd think that the heat of the flames would melt it but that was rather interesting

[cookiebake]

so awesome

we did this in science class and it is really fun

u guys did it really great

[fellowmusic]

Very impressive!! Now how about building one that can lift a person? ;-)

[krukjes]

To lift 1 person of +- 60k, u have to get more than 190 degrees 700L air in it.. Good Luck Lulz.. xD

[skippyriddle]

Good job fellas. That was great. What if you attatched a old camcorder to one.

[Kordakov]

Bra! jeg skal prøve det :)

[gibsonboee]

its the godam aliens

[josephdupont]

you can use aluminum foil and an cloths iron to heat seal plastic film. once cool pull the aluminum foil off

[bigbeefnachosupreme]

could that balloon lift a person?

[Anto0044]

No, it can't lift anybody. You can easily hold the ballon down if you want. To lift a person, you need a balloon that is houndreds of times bigger.

[bigbeefnachosupreme]

thanks

[ded1454]

me and a friend back when i was in school took a trash bag and put helium in it and tied small flash lights to it and launched it at night...we made the front page of the paper they ran a stoy on a strange floting object. was a hoot!

[donarleo1]

Hello, I have a web site with lots of videos os home made hot air balloons.

Can you send me your Embed so I cant put your video in my website?

Take a Look! paperballoon . zip . net

tank you.

[vinnieolle]

just use a sterno (or many) that will give it weight so it doesnt tip and the flame lasts for 2 hours. you can get high heat ones.

[SickNick69]

Aww-it doesnt have its own power source!-In 2days I will post a video on how 2 make the BEST homemade hot air balloon-I will change the way u make these things 4ever

[Anto0044]

Ok, I look forward to that.

[v4viper]

you should do it again and paint a face on it or make it look like an alien then get the locals reactions

[godsdagger]

Nice. Well put together at the start
