Balloons have been around for centuries.  The modern latex balloon that we are familiar with was invented in New England during the Great Depression. A chemical engineer named Neil Tillotson was attempting to make inner tubes using liquid latex, which was a new product.  He was having no luck.  In his frustration is cut out a cat's head and dipped it in the latex.  When it dried he found that he had a cat head.

You can also use the tongue-twister, "psychoneuroimmunology." He observed that many physical diseases could be directly related to a person's mental attitude.

They are used widely throughout the world. In the past 15 years or so, many new essences companies were founded all over the world.

Hot air balloons operate on the basic principles of gravity and heat transfer. The propane burners warm the air inside the balloon envelope to as much as 250 degrees F, thus allowing the pilot to take the balloon up to whatever altitude he or she desires. Gravity pulls us back to earth as the temperature cools down. Of course the pilot can continue heating the air to prolong the flight or to control the rate of descent.

Several experimenters have reported excellent success with one man hot air balloons and at least on manufacturer offers kits which qualify for operation under FAR103.

Sailing through a fleet of monohull trailer sailers in 1973, while on an early Piver trimaran, it occurred to designer that the trimaran configuration would be ideal for the trailer sailer. It is light for towing, much more stable, totally unsinkable, and it sails much faster. The only problem was how to fold it down for trailering. Several existing systems were investigated, including telescopic beams, straight hinges, and the 'swing wing' system.
