Balloons

The Balloon projects comes from a description of ballooning that I have now lost.  It described ballooning as absolutely quiet because you are already traveling the speed of the wind.  That sounded nice.   The balloon projects are heavily influenced by the book The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pene du Boism and the idea that  Balloons were the first from of human flight.   My current interest in this project stems from historic balloons, balloon based toys, and the current technologies of hydrogen production.
