The number of persons carried by a hydrogen balloon changes with altitude due to the change in air density. As the balloon rises, the air density decreases, allowing the balloon to lift more weight. However, it is important to note that the maximum weight that a hydrogen balloon can lift is limited by the strength of the balloon and the amount of hydrogen gas it contains.
The maximum number of persons that a hydrogen balloon can carry is determined by several factors, including the size and strength of the balloon, the amount of hydrogen gas it contains, and the weight of the passengers and any additional equipment or supplies on board.
The amount of weight that a hydrogen balloon can lift depends on its size, strength, and the amount of hydrogen gas it contains. On average, a typical hot air balloon can lift around 1,000 pounds, while a large hydrogen balloon can lift up to 10,000 pounds.
Yes, the number of persons carried by a hydrogen balloon can be adjusted by adding or removing weight from the basket. This can include passengers, equipment, or even ballast (such as sandbags) to control the ascent and descent of the balloon.
When operated properly by trained professionals, traveling in a hydrogen balloon can be safe. However, there are risks involved with any form of aviation and it is important to follow all safety guidelines and regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other governing bodies.
