Hi friends!
How we love the experience of some processes. How much joy bring ordinary balloons, for example.
At the University, we always gave helium balloons for birthdays. Wrote a lot of wishes, then on the balcony of the birthday boy they were released into the sky. So much joy was have all!
Some tried to take balls home to children in city transport... Looked like so much fun! Today, I watched as women have launched a Chinese lantern. In Istanbul on the evening and night Bosphorus it all looks very romantic with hundreds of lanterns of different colors! At what it is impossible not to get involved in such a process. On such magical little joys and built seconds of our happy life...
How long have people been interested in balls?
Here fashion it is a thing, if it is running, then all want to get into the trend. So in Europe in the 19th century were very fashionable ballooning. All were so absorbed in this process that artists cartoonists and just jokers offered from the usual earthly movement to go to the air.
In the picture we see that the army raised on the balls, riders, dog, carriage with horses, house, even a nanny with a baby, all in the air! In Paris, too, was making fun of air boom. Printed a lot of different comics, for example, the ball crashed due to the fact that some passengers had a tight lunch:) Laughter, but eventually rose into the sky already serious aircraft. Yes that in the sky, in space! And started ancestors fun, not argue...
Looking at the birds, the man waved his wings, but alas... Then I tried to put on the wings and jump down from the mountain to feel the taste of flight. There were many unsuccessful attempts... We continued to think how to conquer the sky in a different way. It really was very interesting. To see from above what is happening on earth. But also to receive new feelings to which we always aspire.
The first balloon rose into the sky on smoke from burning damp straw in 1783. How much smoke we had to deal with it. The balloon lasted 10 minutes in the air with 200 kg of cargo on Board. The Montgolfier brothers took the record in this. It's their ball was officially recognized as the first who conquered the sky. Their balloons were given the name of the montgolfiers, in honor of the brothers of inventors. Here the brothers have done, took the canvas, Wallpaper, straw, wool, and rebus thought the sky:) Only here at the beginning of the experiment, they thought that the Duo of burning straw and wool gives the "electric smoke", which will lift the balloon upwards. Helped to understand false belief the Swiss Saussure Horace.
French scientist Charles went further in the direction of Aeronautics. He suggested that the ball can be filled with gas, which is lighter than air. And voila, the balloons started filling with hydrogen. They were named in honor of Charles charlery. The rebus of heaven Charles was solved with the help of silk, turpentine, rubber, hydrogen. That's where the legs grow hydrogen bomb:). Initially air have conquered balls, and then bombs...
Here to control the balloon was still the same problem. At the end of the 18th century again used the wings. Wings all they save!:)
They even tried to harness the birds to improve the maneuverability of the balloon...
Who were the first in the development of Aeronautics on the balloon?
No, not Swan, crayfish and pike...
Rooster, lamb and duck
And the lamb broke the wing of the wild rooster... But the ancestors decided that the top of such conditions that the bone can withstand, not all:)
So rapidly ballooning into the lives of people.
The English can make a good joke sometimes. At that time, as in the fashion of the burst in charlery, Napoleon is up to them to conquer and to conquer England. Was developed blitzkrieg, which readily ridiculed the British by the figure above.
At that time, the fashion for balloons and mastered pop artists. Obligatory highlight in the songs in other performances was attended by phrase:
Come on, let's go, guys!

- Research and expeditions
- For military purposes

- Gift to a friend or girlfriend, a joint flight (about $ 100 per person)
- Decoration of the area and entertainment in Cappadocia
