The French used the hot air balloon as an observation post.

With all the excitement not everyone was


aware of how dangerous ballooning was, in fact many balloons would catch fire and the passengers
would die. Even De Rozier (1785) tried to cross the English Channel with his brother and they died
because their balloon burst into flames.

The Hot Air Balloon is the oldest successful flight technology that held people. This invention is in a class
of aircraft known as: Balloon Aircraft. Pre-modern & Unmanned hot air balloons were very popular in
Chinese history. It was used in the Three Kingdoms era (220–280 AD). In this time frame these pre-
modern balloons were used as airborne lanterns for military signaling.

When the smoke cooled down the sack would fall, this gave them the idea to make a real balloon in
1783. But before their first tethered balloon flight with humans on October 15, 1783, the Montgolfier
brothers experimented with unmanned balloons and common farm animals. When they that the
balloon was safe enough they launched their first free flight with human passengers on November 21,
1783.

Add 6 tsp of washing detergent into the bottle. (this helps tap the bubble which produce the reaction of
larva. Add 2 tbsp of baking soda to the solution. Slowly add vinegar into the solution and watch it erupt.
Tips: The red larva is the result of the reaction between the baking soda and vinegar. This reaction
produces carbon dioxide gas.

Ballooning was like a fever and it was catching fast. Within the same time frame, two brothers emerged
by the name of Robert. They got help from a physicist named JAC Charles. The Robert brothers coated
the silk balloons with rubber so the gas wouldn’t leak. The physicist wanted to apply his idea of using
hydrogen to make the balloons float.

Colgate also occupies a 26% share (by volume) of the nascent but fast-growing mouthwash category.
The strategy is to phase-out unproductive toothpastes in the baking soda/gel varieties specifically
Colgate Baking Soda & Peroxide Oxygen Whitening Frosty Mint Striped Gel, Colgate 2in1 Oxygen
Whitening and Cavity Protection Winterfresh Gel. The product packaging will be advertising other
Colgate products in an attempt to retain brand loyal users.

In conclusion, it could be said that this aircraft (hot air balloon) lead to many other creations such as the
airplane, helicopter, etc. It proved that humans could soar in the sky with the birds. It was a true
phenomenon. Also here is a picture of the first manned hot air balloon by the Montgolfier brothers:

By October 2011, these varieties of Colgate will no longer be produced for the United States market. In
effect, this will generate more cash flow that can be diverted into the creation of new brands and new
marketing campaigns thereby decreasing stress upon margin levels. The strategy is to phase-out
unproductive toothpastes in the baking soda/gel varieties specifically Colgate Baking Soda & Peroxide
Oxygen Whitening Frosty Mint Striped Gel, Colgate 2in1 Oxygen Whitening and Cavity Protection
Winterfresh Gel.
The first balloon was recorded to be 35 ft in diameter and had a capacity of 23,000 cubic ft, and it was
made of linen lined paper. Within weeks they released a balloon to a height of 6,000 ft and these aircraft
traveled about an estimate of 2 miles. 1783 became the milestone year for aviation; some say that the
dream of flying was finally realized.
