How Do Hot Air Balloons Fly 

Before understanding how hot air balloons fly, let’s first know about the history of the hot air balloon. It was designed and developed in Paris in 1783 by Montgilfier, the two French brothers. The balloon was made up of paper and silk. Later another hot air balloon was designed, which was the giant Cameron Z, the world’s largest hot air balloon. It can carry up to 32 people.

Now, let’s understand the science behind the hot air balloon working principle. We all know that hot air balloons fly through fire’s heat, but there is more to this. The fundamental phenomenon behind the floating of the hot air balloon is buoyancy, which is responsible for generating the lift. Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in water or in another fluid. According to Archimedes’ principle (Buoyancy force), the upward force is exerted on an object by all liquids and gases in the presence of gravity. This upward force is also called upthrust.

The hot air balloon’s working principle, which affects the buoyant force

• The density of the fluid

• The volume of the fluid

 The Role Of The Burner 

Burner, which is also known as the engine of the hot air balloon, converts liquid propane(gas used in the burner) into an intense flame that heats the air inside the envelope. The hotter the air inside the envelope, the stronger the lift would be.
