Hydrogen gas Balloons

Similarities Hot air balloons and hydrogen gas balloons have many similarities. One of them just so happen to be that they look alike. Back long ago Balloons that soared the air were referred as “ships of the air”. Both types of balloons [Hot air balloons & hydrogen gas balloons] function by the same law in science. Both balloons are used for and in recreational purposes. A balloon drifts over the ground without a motor or propulsion of any kind. The balloon travels with the wind, and must follow the wind’s direction and its speed. Therefore the balloon has exactly the same speed and direction over the ground as the wind. During a balloon flight, there appears to be no wind in the basket, the passengers feel no winds in their faces.

Differences In a Hot air balloon Pilots can control their ascent and decent by heating more hot air. Hot air balloons are mostly filled with hot carbon-dioxide and water whereas hydrogen gas balloons are filled with hydrogen. Hot air balloons use a burner to operate while the hydrogen gas makes the hydrogen gas balloon float up. The hot air balloon is pear shaped whereas the hydrogen gas balloon is spherical shape.

    Action Force Vs Closed Balloon Essay

    If it moves along a string it focuses the power from the balloon's air in a single direction, generating more concentrated thrust and helping it travel as far as possible in one direction. For the balloon's velocity, if the balloon is moving rightwards, then the velocity is moving rightwards also. The amount of speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a large distance in a short amount of time. A slow-moving object that has a low speed will cover a small amount of distance in the same amount of time. The force that moves the balloon to create velocity is the thrust when you let go of the balloon's mouth piece. Thrust can be created from your hand or controller. The movement that pushes the balloon forward will make it go farther.The air that shoots out from the balloon's mouth also pushes the balloon forward and creates some velocity.The change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. A force will cause a change in velocity and a change in velocity will generate a force. If there is no force acting on an object then the object will maintain a constant velocity. When velocity is zero the object remains at…

    Hindenburg Research Paper

    One of which was what gas to use. Helium and Hydrogen were the two main elements to choose from. Helium is heavier than Hydrogen but is more practical as far as safety goes. Helium is a non-flammable gas. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is the lightest element on earth and generates more lift than Helium by is highly flammable. . Originally the Hindenburg’s primary lifting gas was Helium because it was safe and a non-flammable gas. Unfortunately, the Zeppelin Company couldn’t use Helium because the United States owned a monopoly on Helium and outlawed its export. Ultimately the decision went to Hydrogen as the primary lifting gas for the Hindenburg.…

    Most balloons are made from natural latex, which is made from rubber trees. The natural latex is highly regarded and biodegradable. Synthetic latex, which is not biodegradable is also used in some circumstances but is more cost effective.

    The purpose of the experiment was to determine the gas law that can be used to calculate the volume of H2 gas at STP and to calculate the volume of a mole of H2 gas at STP. The research hypothesis was if the combined gas law is utilized, then the volume of H2(g) can be determined at STP because it compares the initial pressure, temperature,and volume with the final pressure, temperature, and volume. Also, if the volume at STP was divided by the number of moles of H2(g) used in the experiment then the volume of a mole of H2(g) at STP can be determined. The method included producing hydrogen gas by reacting an active metal, Mg with HCl acid. The results showed that the molar volume can be determined by using the combined gas law and dividing…

    99 Red Balloons

    The song I chose to do my project on is the song 99 Red Balloons, by the artist Gabriel Kerner, also known as Nena. This was one of the songs in the '80s to make the point about how the war really affected the citizens and the countries themselves. The theme of this song is that overreacting right away is a bad thing. It can cause damage to you and to everything else around you. This song is representing the fact that the United States and the Soviet Union were caught up in the Cold War and it caused many problems. The example in this song is that, what if a child let go of a balloon and it went over the Berlin Wall to the Soviet’s side? Without deciding what it was, they blew up the whole country of Germany. This could have happened because of something so silly like a balloon. It also describes how unlucky the citizens of Germany are. They are in the middle of all of this. If something was thrown over the wall, or a balloon floated over it, their lives would have been ruined or they could have died because of it. The Soviet Union and the United States only thought about themselves. They were waiting for some kind of spark in the war so they would know when to fight.…

    <br>Over 60 years ago, airships were the "queens of the skies." In the early 1900s, a stubborn, yet brilliant German count, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, took keen interest in balloon flights and was devoted to the design and construction of airships. At first, he had many difficulties and setbacks but soon his airships were able to accommodate passengers as well. This lighter-than-air vehicle will later be known as a zeppelin.…

    National Football Field Analysis

    A problem emerged in the National Football League when a punter punted a football that “hanged” in the air a little too long. A punt is when a punter of the football team kicks the football to the other team on fourth down to give the team a good field position (Oriard, 2016). On November 13, 1977, Oakland Raiders’ punter Ray Guy punted the football numerous times and the football were just “ hanging” in the air a little too long (Wilkening, 2013). The “hang time” on the punts prompted the National Football League to investigate if the footballs were filled with helium. They experimented with football filled with helium and air to see which one goes farther and the results concluded that helium and air go the same distance (Wikening, 2013). This meant Ray Guy was kicking regular footballs. Since then similar research has been done with the helium football problem. Ohio State University and Carnegie Melon University concluded that “there is not much difference in the results for the two footballs” (“Helium football story”, n.d.). The Mythbusters also experimented with the helium football problem. The results that they collected concluded that the air-filled football flew farther than the helium-filled football (“Football Filled With Helium Will Fly Farther”, 2006). The research in this study does similar experiments as the ones stated above but will provide new…
