Today all hot air balloon burners have one thing in common. They use liquid propane as their fuel source. When using liquid propane the burner has to serve a dual purpose. First it must convert the liquid propane to a vapor, so it can be burnt at the orifices to produce the heat that makes the balloon fly. Achieving this function is where each balloon manufacturer differs in burner design. If you compare the shape of the Avian burner coils to other manufacturers, you’ll notice it has a larger circular radius with few 90 degree bends in its preheat coils. The reason we design our burner coil this way is to utilize a very basic principle of fuel flow. "The fewer the restrictions to flow, such as tight bends in tubing, in the complete burner system, the greater the pressure will be when it is released at the burner orifices, giving a higher BTU [British thermal unit] output.

Depuis l'avènement du brûleur à propane au début des années soixantes, il n'a pas beaucoup évolué. Le principe est très simple : le propane contenu dans des bouteilles est sous pression donc liquide. Il passe dans un serpentin de vaporisation, dans lequel il est réchauffé et vaporisé, il peut alors être brûlé. L'air de l'enveloppe est ainsi chauffé, jusqu'à une centaine de degrés, et le ballon devient donc plus léger que l'air. Le talent du pilote consiste à chauffer au bon moment. En effet le brûleur n'est pas utilisé de manière continue mais par à-coups et le pilote doit anticiper le refroidissement du ballon car l'action du brûleur n'est ressenti qu'une dizaine de secondes après. 2, record 5, French, - serpentin%20de%20br%C3%BBleur

Les montgolfières à infrarouge. À la fin des années 70, des chercheurs français du CNRS ont imaginé un nouveau type de montgolfière, dite à infrarouge, développé par le CNES. Il s'agit d'un ballon à air chauffé de jour par le soleil et de nuit par le rayonnement tellurique. La partie inférieure de cette montgolfière est en polyéthylène transparente ce qui permet de recevoir le flux venant de la Terre (rayonnement infrarouge), celui-ci est ensuite piégé par le revêtement en polyester aluminisé de la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe. 2, record 6, French, - montgolfi%C3%A8re%20infrarouge

scoop: A specialized-shape skirt which, on American balloons, narrows to an inch or two on one side and widens to extend all the way from the top of the poles to the base of the envelope proper, forming a tilted mouth. The idea of the scoop is to provide better control of the aerostat’s orientation. Ideally, the front (or main part of the scoop) will always be kept in the direction of travel. It may also aid in keeping the envelope full. 5, record 7, English, - pressure%20scoop
