Cameron Balloons is the world ’s largest manufacturer of hot-air balloons. (http://www.cameronballoons.co.uk) On average‚ their factory in the United Kingdom builds one balloon a day but together with their United States factory the company produces on average more than one balloon per day‚ everyday of the year. And in 1996 the company turnover was almost £7‚000‚000. (http://www.bized.co.uk) From the operations manager ’s point of view‚ inventories are a tool which provide efficient operation

Homer Gere Science - Perry 7-3 Kober Balloon Lab Report Problem: The goal of the balloon lab was to get a balloon attached to a line all the way across the room. One limitation was that we could only use one balloon‚ two straws‚ and tape. The circumference of the circle at its largest point couldn’t be larger than 100 cm. Procedure/Results: Trial Number | Distance Traveled (CM) | Time (sec) | Velocity (CM/sec) | 1 | 346 | 1.02 | 339.2 | 2 | 471 | .79 | 596.2 | 3 | 356 | .8 |

was. The government cannot just print out more money for it will drastically affect the balloon economy. For me to further elaborate my point‚ let us imagine a balloon. Not an inflated one‚ but a new one that you just bought from a store. This deflated balloon is still so small that I cannot appreciate its beauty as a balloon. So I put more air in it and it grows to a considerable size. Imagine that the balloon is the economy‚ and the air inside it is the money circulating in the economy. If we put

The Balloon Man In a village long ago and far away‚ but one not so very different from those today‚ lived a group of superstitious people governed by poverty and hunger. Hunger not for food‚ but for money and control over other equally hungry and ruthless people. In this village lived a man‚ a man different from all the others. Every large grouping of people has one‚ no matter the century; the simpleton‚ dreamer‚ the lost. You see them on the street‚ exchanging their pride for a few worthless pieces

Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

Investigatory Projects in Physics | Repulsorlifts as a Method of Stable Magnetic Levitation | Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were

Helium Weather Balloons A weather balloon is a scientific instrument used by meteorologists to measure the activity of the world’s weather. Weather balloons are sent into the air every day‚ all over the world; they are sent up at the same time‚ and they are used to measure a variety of atmospheric pressures‚ temperatures‚ and wind rates. The data collected by weather balloons is saved and transmitted by the radiosonde. Sensors in the radiosonde record data and use a radio transmitter to send

Hot Air Balloon Report Hot air balloons fill up slowly and then rise in the sky. Two important principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes’ principle are the reasons hot air balloons fly. The mathematical relationship between the volume pressure and the temperature of a gas is called the ideal gas law. When a gas is heated‚ as in a hot air balloon‚ then its volume will increase. However‚ there is a heater located in the balloon’s basket that heats the air inside the balloon and blows

clothes mummy wore. She would be like mummy when she was older. “Sweetie‚ do you want a balloon?” She looked at where her mummy was pointing. An old wrinkly man stood there‚ holding a bunch of balloons of all shapes and sizes and colours. He looked like a garden gnome. She smiled and nodded. Her mummy smiled back‚ her teeth all yellow. Teeth were supposed to be white. “Take yourself off and buy a balloon then.” Her mummy gave her a small coin‚ before turning back to her friend. Wrinkling up her
