(im from scotland) we have a hot air baloon festival every year,it so cool to see them in the sky,i would like to go up in one would you?
I would absolutely do it again. The only reason I don’t do it more is cost. Risks are very low. I enjoy the view from the air, whether it’s a plane, helicopter, balloon, or just a scenic overlook. The pleasure is intensified by being out in the open air. When the gas flame shuts off, there’s no sound.
Many of you will be surprised to know that you can not just have fun with the balloons but can make money out of it. Yes, it is true. Advertising using balloons is a tested marketing strategy and is taking new forms with the passage of time. One main reason is that people can fail to notice everything else but a hot air balloon. Moreover, balloons look big but do not cost a lot, which is the most important factor for their popularity in the advertising circle. Therefore, advertising agencies are trying to woo clients by offering them this marketing strategy, which can work wonders.
You can tap the market of supplying these balloons to advertising agencies to start with. Gradually, you will build good contacts with a number of such advertising and promotions agencies, which will give you regular work or even annual contracts for your balloon delivery services. This will generate regular revenues for your business. The best thing about the business is that you enjoy a lot of flexibility, since you have the choice of working full-time or part-time. If you are already employed somewhere and want to make some extra money, this is the opportunity for you. If you intend to start such a balloon delivery in Philadelphia, it is an ideal choice given the momentum that balloon advertising is acquiring there.
Identify Your Target Market:
To start with, you must know whom will you be selling the balloons to. It is important that you focus on a small segment of the market initially and effectively communicate to them about what you are doing. You can even start with just one client, focusing on giving him your best. After you master all the tricks of the trade, add other clients to your clientele.
Install a Permanent Phone Line:
The nature of the services business is such that you will have to make a number of phone calls to potential clients. You may begin by calling from home but it is advisable that you dedicate a phone line for this purpose. Calling from the residence does not project you as a professional in front of the client. Access to an independent phone line will allow you to install an answering machine facility in it, which will greet the client and take his messages for you in your absence. When you install such an office line, you are also allowed to register in the yellow pages, where people can find you easily.
Moreover, before setting up such a business, take into account all the rules and regulations pertaining to this business and its operations. Maintain records and receipts of all the transactions for the purpose of auditing.

I have been given/ have figured out: the boyant force, the mass of the air in the balloon, the mass of the load, the volume of the balloon, the temperature of the surrounding air, the atmospheric pressure, the density of the air, and air molar mass. but i dont know how to find what the air temperature must be to lift the balloon and load. Help?? her’s the question:
A hot air balloon stays aloft because hot air at atmospheric pressure is less dense than cooler air at the same pressure. If the volume of the balloon is 500m^3 and the surrounding iar is at 15 degrees C, what must the temperature of the air in the balloon be for it to lift the total load of 290 kg(in addition to the mass of the hot air)? The density of air at 15 degrees C and atmpospheric pressure 1.013 x 10^5 Pa is 1.23Kg/m^3. Air molar mass is 29g/mol. Present your answer in Fahrenheits rounded to the whole number.
If the air in the balloon were 15 degrees C it would weigh 500m^3 X 1.23Kg/m^3 = 615Kg. You need 290Kg of lift so you need the balloon to contain 615Kg – 290Kg = 325Kg of air. 325Kg / 500m^3 = 0.65Kg/m^3 So you need to find the temperature that will give you a density of 0.65Kg/m^3.

Is going hot ait ballooning a good way to spend my birthday?
I am turning 15 and I think it would be so cool to ride in a hot air balloon.
It is amazing! My husband proposed to me on a hot air balloon, it was perfect. It is so much fun, you are just gliding along with the wind, it is not scary at all even though you are up so high. We went in Charlottesville VA and had spectacular mountain views as the sun set. I highly recommend it! I think you will love it.
