As a North Korean, how can I obtain such a device?
There are a couple of companies in China making 3 / 4 man balloons, but nothing like this, you could always go for building your own playlist on how to build your own

Lol 😂
That's awesome
As a paragliding pilot, this pleases me! ;-)
I had the need for a bit larger balloon. I purchased an Experimental 42cu.ft. racer. I inflate off a spare tank and when I'm ready to fly, I switch to one of 2 tanks in the Ultramagic Tekno CT-01. Great little system
Very nice! the spare tank option sounds like a good idea, buys time on the launch site without the pressure of a fast inflation / lift off, and gives you a longer flight. I'm working on a bigger tank, moving from a 40L to a 60L but making slow progress. - There will be a video when I finally upgrade
There's a racer hot air balloon? As a paramotor pilot, I wanna race it 😊
Clem Cloudiddlehopper.
:-) LOL old school - though I think I might know the guy LOL
Ohhhh man that looks like fun! I'd definitely fly the cloudhopper, the feeling of nothing but air beneath your feet would be incredible
I want a hopper!
This looks like so much fun, but I would add a small, of course gas powered hibachi so I could cook my meals in flight
That sounds 😎 cool, it's like 100 degrees c in the top of the balloon, there is a company I think in Austria that will cook a meal inside the balloon and winch it down for you to eat as you fly across the alps ! #lifegoals
I want the sky chariot.
And.. just where's the speedometer???? 😂😂😂👌👍🤜🤛
😄😁 you don't want it reading double digits, gets the heart ♥️ pumping when you go fast in one of these things #notetoself
@@TheBigBalloonFestival To be honest, the closest I got to your experience was downloading hotair baloon addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator and floating over Split, Dalmatia/Croatia drinking wine and showing our neighbourhood to my (impatient) wife!😂😂😂 I envy you!
(on the other hand I have a sailboat for floating in the fluids so I shouldn't complain😉)
Soft landings!
@@hrvojebartulovic7870 I saw that, I did wonder about making a 'how VR ballooning compares to the real thing' it looked pretty good, I just didn't get round to trying it / making a film
Looking good! did you make the balloon envelopes?
The 1st envelope is a 1982 thunder, the other 2 are homebuilt (or in the u.s. classed as experimental) both built at the site where we were flying - sackville Lodge airfield.
Im scared of heights. 😅
You will be fine 😊 😆 just don't open your eyes
How do you steer a hot air balloon?
only by changing height and using the different layers of wind at different heights, each layer has a subtly different direction, have a look at this video it shows some unusual conditions, but gives an idea of how we can use the winds czcams.com/video/caRAus-UK_w/video.html
@@TheBigBalloonFestival I would love to see a single man thermal airship
Hello my dear friend! do you still have drawings of a single-seat balloon? Can I buy them from you or get them somehow?
I have designed the envelope of a 31Kft balloon, but not made the design widely available or for sale, we are building a 3rd prototype at the moment, so I may make it available after that to download into CAD, would that be of interest to you or would you prefer a set of paper patterns shipped through the post?
I'm wondering if you send in a CAD file with instructions and explanation! when do you plan to finish the project? Do you have a phone that has WhatsApp or Telegram messenger to keep in touch?
It's going to take some time to complete, real life, a CZcams channel and always another design project bubbling in my brain. What I will do however it talk to a friend (we will meet this weekend) who has been down this path before, with his home built designs now flying on 3 continents
