  • Get carried away with Solar Energy as Mr. G experiments outside on this Sunny Sunday and takes you on a "high flying" adventure . Finally, a good use for those extremely cheap garbage bags you bought years ago! So hold on to your hats and explore the friendly skies with Mr. G and his Solar Hot Air Balloon!

    Mr G I am extremely grateful for your videos. This is an awesome and simple project that I think would be very fun and easy to perform. I look forward to doing this. Thanks Mr G.

    I made one with only one bag and it lifted off, although for a very little while (the hottest time of the day). But hey it was only one bag!
    Now Im making a large one with 25 bags and will attempt aerial photography with it.
    You are awesome, good job. Im sure many dads/kids find inspiration in your show. When my daughter grows up, this is the kind of stuff we will be doing together. So, thanks!

    Can you keep this balloon in the air for a long time ?? Or it will suffer from the sun ?? How much afford to sunlight

    Looks like a killer way to litter. It's not like everyone who launches a bag in the air goes and picks it up after.

    • @elisadeschepper8651

      True, I mean if the balloon gets stuck in a tree chances are it'll stay there for several years.

    Had one of these that was given to me as a kid. 35 years ago. It was a production thing ,very long and very thin, called solar something or other. Thought it was awesome as a kid. Stared at it for ages till it took off.

    @kismet1337 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember my little brother had such a balloon, but not selfmade. And the first time we tried it was fixed to the ground with a light thread. Somebody stumbled across the thread, it ripped of and the balloon flew away. The only thing we could do was watching it getting smaller and smaller at the horizon. We never saw it again xD
    btw, nice place, nice trees, nice wheather!

    @hock105 Well, Mr. G didn't actually write the comment... it was Mr. G's dog, "Nutmeg".

  • @Mindpaint
    @Mindpaint  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @2009letitrock A lot of places really. Ranging from books I've read to experiments I've performed in classrooms from grade school, high school, and College. I have found ideas from internet searches on "physics experiments", "science experiments at home" and related subject matter. Some of the ideas are more original, while others are common science experiments which have been performed by countless others before me.
    Thanks for the question,

    Sorry to tell you mate.... thats not a balloon that is a garbage bag.

    • @xeric1953
      @xeric1953 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I 〈3 Plebston ;) try this with a garbage bag and it won't work. It's just also black and made of the same kind of material. Once he traps air inside of the bag it is then a balloon. "A balloon is a flexible bag that can be inflated with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or air." -wiki

    cool love ur vids
    do u need to have then all taped together or can u use it in a smaller scale
    or wont it work if it is smaller because you need a certain amount of hot air to lift the bag

  • @inurfac
    @inurfac 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    it's not a down draft that's making your balloon fall.. but a sort of side effect to your idea of this balloon.... you should know that the higher you get from the ground, the colder it gets. so basically, yes your balloon is getting heated and rising but gets colder and colder and the air inside making it drop back down.

  • @Rokethound01

    you know most of the time it was not floating, as in, in comparison to the ambient air, rather in comparison to the cooler air of the grass and the 'balloon's'' negligible warmer convex air. They say stuff like this kills wales..... by the way.

  • @invis648
    @invis648 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Careful. Your son might accidentally hide in there and then you'll have to call the media and have a massive chase after your bag only to find he was really hiding in your attic like you planned the whole time.

  • @Mindpaint
    @Mindpaint  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @RoPWU NO!... STRONG SUNLIGHT is the key here, but actually, cooler morning air is better because the air inside the balloon doesn't have to get as hot to become lighter than the surrounding air.
    Thanks,

  • @Mindpaint

    @Hayesy15 I have made these with just 2 bags, but the 4 to 6 bag ones work better. The square one in the video was a 4 bag model.

  • @Mindpaint
    @Mindpaint  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @braydenflog NEVER... I ALWAYS have retrieved any balloon I've launched. I usually tether these, but the winds on this day caused the balloons to stay rather low, and easy to track. I do suggest tethering these though.

    looked more like the balloon was entering thermals, thats why it was circling when it climbed. you might need a lighter or larger balloon to make it work better.

  • @33200
    @33200 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @followthemoney100 im pretty sure the air doesn't have to leave the balloon to make it rise
    all that matters is that the air inside is hotter than the air outside, which makes it rise. so basically if it was winter outside than normal air at room temperature in the balloon should still rise.

    i have a way to make the hot air ballon but instead u need a candle, a trash bag like mr. g, an old rag, wire cuters, and a old wire hanger. first u cut the wire hang in to four even peices about 5 inches if u dont have enough wire in one get another take the ends of the wires and twist them together and have them pointing north east south and west then u open the bag and atach the wires to the bag and bend the wires down to a point then u light the candle and let a buch of wax build up
