[9361463]

And what the hell do you do if it catches a damn tree on fire?

[EMAN58840]

nice

[Jpyromarine]

I made one similar went 400 feet in the air and floated away out of sight

[9003weman91]

the day after this youtube gets 50 new UFO videos

[luvstosp0g3]

Use fire lighters

[robert0joe]

when i tried to make one, it actually burned the plastic.

[jabbawockeezrock101]

dont stand underneath it because the wax will drip down on you lol

[asssface2000]

smokey the bear says only you can prevent forest fires assholes.

[Lovesgoats]

it takes surprisingly little heat to keep the thing in flight so all the flames should be out before it lands

[1enzeder]

@asssface2000

Hooray, the fun police are here!

[asssface2000]

@1enzeder yeah now put your hands on the wall and spread your legs.

[aliferluz]

loool

[Piratewuver]

its a ufo lol

[lover4ev3r]

wah hw did u manage put so many candles on the wood o.O

[candr]

Use to make these years ago, used the stick from a kite to put the candles on and keep it open, unfrotunately when the candles burnt down to the wood it would create a small fire ball for a second or two. Finally one day somebody landed one in the woods, it had been very dry then and caught fire to the woods, they kind of clamped down on them then. Still make them for the grand kids, but make sure I keep an eye on them when they go up.

[epohnopulse]

Because there's so much you can do when they go up?

Pffft.

It is impossible to controll fire.

[harjinder14]

throw rocks at it lol, jk, i put it a string, very thin string

[onlinesniper]

trick candles ....thats a brilliant idea

[onlinesniper]

why is it when i try this i just end up melting the top of the bag even tho its basiclly the same setup? any tips

[harjinder14]

make a few holes at the top of the bag to let out compressed hot air. about 3, or 4 about the width or your thumb nail. it really depends on the size of ur balloon. i might make one of these

[RosiePinkCheeks]

wow i realy want to have these at our summer party, please can you tell me how you made them. thanks!

[PurpleNurple360]

i bet ppl thought it was a UFO

[akonamanliwat]

this is one way of littering the space. LMAO

joke!

it's so nice watching it flew all the way to the sky.

[c9ari]

How far away can you see it at night?

[AUTubeN22]

ive seen a lanter fly straight over my head it was pretty high at more than 150 ft and must have been traveling at 50 knots and i watched it dissapear over 10 kilometres away it was quiyte stable too even thogh there was quite a fast wind in the winter frosty i could see the clouds going north my breath going south but the lantern was heading west in a stable straight line and speed not rocking side to side i looked rite under it and it had two flames

[doctorbrainiac]

Brilliant to see such simplicity have such great results, if you weight the bottom slightly more it will have a more stable flight.

[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.

[damienz007]

SUPER COOL VIDEO, THANX. i tried find this CHEAP homemade balloon .. i will try construct this

[kennlimbhsss]

i always try to make one but my bag always get burnt. even when the candles aint touching the sides of the bag, the top just get burnt...

[AUTubeN22]

i think the rice paper should be treated with flame retardent although its naturaly pretty robust.

[coolbluelights]

Awesome! I made one of those about 10 years ago it flew over the house^^

[BowlingFreak218]

using birthday candles as a heat source.

i bet that after falling acuple hundred feet the candle would go out. lol

[OtakuPraetorius]

Usual fruit plastic bags will do, along with birthday cake candles!

[xramunas13]

this is 12 candles not 6 idiot -.-

[gingerbhoy]

hahaha.. I can't believe you lost the head over such a small matter.

Chill

[aznmore]

okay now count how many flexi-straws he used to make sure its 4.... -.-

[JB9208]

how about you all chill, its a couple of fuckin candles..

[FRANKANDGDOG]

i think its 6 all cut in half

[strecos]

there were some of these going over our house, they nearly set another house on fire !

[eazyone23]

All your girlfriends worried about is burning your fingers ... What about when it lands and burns fields of forest plantation. ....... To play it safe add a bit of fishing line to it so you can enjoy it then pull it down when your finished

[lorenchristopher]

Yeah I'm sure when those tiny B-day candles are shooting back down to the ground they're gonna stay lit....lol.

[eazyone23]

Great ... Bomb fire's hope it blows this way, its getting a bit cold out this way.

[blellblell]

Oh, and sterno isnt a solid. its either glycerin or gelatin with methyl alcohol. liquid fuels are safer because they either burn out or blow out on the long fall down ya see... Drinking straw frames attached to the envelope with aluminum foil tape work great, stuff the inside just past the last candle with recovery wadding for model rockets, or a bit of wool to make it fire resistant. The last thing we need is to set something on fire. Be careful

[blellblell]

using trick candles is a very very very bad idea. They wont go out, thats the problem. if theres a failure, and they hit a house, land in a dry field... its basicly a fire bomb. Regular b day candles mounted on a popsicle stick about 3 mm space between each to maintain liquid wax surface tension on top of each candle... so it burns the wax instead of drip all over...

NEVER ever ever use trick candles. I know, trust me.

[plank0wner]

Works best on a cool night. A good idea is to use those trick candles that re-light themselves if they're blown out.

[bulletisleet]

thanks for the advice.

[ls277jb]

wicked i made 1 last night but it caught on fire and and the captin had to crash land

[outlawedman]

captain crunch?

[unseelieturtle]

i have a friend that makes these all the time. only he uses telephone wire, a basket made of light weight foil, a dry cleaning bag, and sterno... a solid camp fuel. the gases from the sterno tend to flouresce if the conditions are right!!

[dzikiewicz]

nice!

[BowlingFreak218]

the best burnner is get a cotton ball and dip it in vaseline. burns for a long time with a big flame!

[mrclown88]

We use those wax firelighters.

Big flames, and wont go out.

[juseliaaa]

people will say thats a ufo XD

[qarnos]

AWESOME!

[coondogtheman1234]

Thats pretty cool i did something like this but with helium gas and a garbage bag but it was a long time ago and i didnt own a camera that could do video at the time, if i once again have access to helium gas and a garbage bag and my camcorder ill shoot a video of this in action and upload it here maybe as a response to this video

[guypie]

yeah they are just like ,, the fat people of the balloon world! propper old crap and saggy!

god dam, i will post a video showing you guys

[doghead13]

that looks like its had quite a lot of attention paid to making it me and my mate make them and just use 2 straws and they look proper crap but they still fly lol

[chickyonthedash]

Hiya, actually it takes about 20 minutes if you use a soldering iron to attach it all together and make the holes for the candles... and it doesn't add any weight!
