  • Lanterns from Amazon: amzn.to/2BJ5QSq
    Beautiful sky lanterns, UFO quality, absolutely mesmerizing to watch as sky lanterns float gracefully into the sky. Get ready to launch your own sky lanterns!
    My Amazon store is open! www.amazon.com...
    Buy quality biodegradable sky lanterns from Amazon following these links:
    5 pack: amzn.to/2BJ5QSq
    10 pack: amzn.to/2vZLAXx
    20 pack: amzn.to/2weqGmF
    Light the fire brick with a torch. It's far easier and safer than trying to use matches or a small lighter. The best torch head for propane bottles is the Bernzomatic Trigger Start unit.
    Buy your own Bernzomatic here: amzn.to/2whunbl
    To be real safe, it's good to have a fire extinguisher handy. Not that you'd ever (hopefully) need one, but it can't hurt to be safe. If you need a fire extinguisher you can use for any type of fire, get this one from Kidde: amzn.to/2LaKYCY
    Known as Chinese Lanterns, or Sky Lanterns depending on where you live, these flying lanterns are absolutely beautiful and amazing to watch. People worry about them starting fires, but that just isn't the case if you launch them in appropriate locations -- which is almost anywhere there is no brush or trees or buildings. Many places on planet earth qualify as excellent lantern launching locations.
    Once a lantern is launched, it rises on the hot air trapped within the paper envelope. When the fire source burns out, the lantern falls to earth. So the fire safety of these lanterns is ensured. Only the remains, paper and bamboo, return to earth.
    There are festivals where thousands of lanterns of launched at one time. The site is incredible to behold. New Mexico has a huge lantern festival every year, as do other locations around the world.
    The best place to purchase your lanterns is from Amazon. That's where I buy lanterns, and I specifically use these in the 5 pack amount: amzn.to/2LevxKo
    If you want a larger 10 pack of lanterns, use these: amzn.to/2vZLAXx
    Most of all, have fun with your lantern. They are engaging, beautiful, and very meaningful to many people. Whether you make a wish, reflect on past wins or losses, or just launch to observe their graceful flight, the sky lantern, or Chinese sky lantern, is a thing of beauty to enjoy.

    Sky Lanterns, more commonly known as KongMingDeng was invented by the Chinese as War signals along with the kites. After the warring ages, these lanterns were used during Chinese lantern festivals to carry messages and hopes to the God above. These lanterns spread from China to most of Asia and even to Brazil! These lanterns also than became the prototype of hot air balloons.

    Better to use the ones that are all bamboo (hoop) and string (biodegradable).. the wire one's are an issue for wildlife. just saying. Also, remember physics.. the lift (hot air) has to exceed the weight. The only variable int he equation is the weight of the fuel cake. I find that if you trim a bit off each corner, maybe a 1/4 inch.. it will fly sooner and again, physics.. just as high.

    • @TomGlander
      @TomGlander  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Excellent idea. Trimming the corners to reduce weight. I like that idea.
