How a Hot Air Balloon Works•The BasketWhere the passengers and pilot stand

•The BurnerThe unit which propels the heat up inside the envelope

•The Envelope The actual fabric balloon which holds the air

First Thing We Did

• Spreading out the balloons tissue paper

Paper + Glue=

After carefully gluing the tissue paper together we had 9 of these colorful strips

Combining the strips

After the glue finished drying, we carefully pile the strips on top of each other to form 3 strips with 3 layers.

Drawing the Template

After making all of the 3x3 tissue paper sheets, Evan draws the template using a ruler and a piece of string*NOTE* he ripped part of the paper that we didn’t use. On accident,

Continuing the Template

This time instead of drawing the top half of the balloon, he prepares to draw the bottom part.

Drawing the bottom half of the balloon, Evan and I hold a ruler so that a straight line can be drawn . Below is just Evan.

Bottom Half

Making a 3D balloon

Evan delicately over folding the balloon to give it a 3 Dimensional body

Test Video Number OneShowcasing the actual jobs of the members, except for Matt, he was the one filming behind the camera.

The 3 Dimensional figure being formed and showcased.

Adjusting Edges

Watch as Matt smoothes the edges of the balloon by cutting them ever so carefully as to not tear the paper

Fixing Holes

Patching up holes in the balloon is no easy job. Sometimes they’re very hard to spot. Evan is like a hawk.

Found some more

We found some more holes that needed patching.OH NO!

How long did it FLY?!

Not very long. But you can see for yourself on the next slides.

Some last minute patching

POOF UP THE BALLOON!!!!!!

This may take awhile…

Inflating the balloon took around 7 or 8 minutes!

Preparing for flight Dos

It was not a very good flight…

Looking Back on the Project

•This project all in all was not very hard•Some problems with building materials, mainly glue•Obstacles in the flight path (Light Post)•Software issues (not having PowerPoint at home)•--------------------------------------------------------•Evan response: It was really fun I really enjoyed seeing our work pay off•---------------------------------------------------------•Couldn’t get Matt’s response because he doesn’t share the same study hall as me and Evan do when we work on the PowerPoint
