    摘要: An adjustable weight ballast for lighter-than-air balloon with a predetermined lift is disclosed, comprising at least two individual weights. There is a first means on each individual weight for selectively attaching two or more weights to each other to form a composite weight having a total weight at least equal to the predetermined lift of the balloon, and a second means for tethering the lighter-than-air balloon to this composite weight, in which manner a ballast for a balloon can have its weight incrementally adjusted to an amount just greater than the balloon's predetermined lift to thus securely tether the balloon to a surface on which the composite weight is supported without significantly exceeding the lift of the balloon.

    摘要: A method comprises: launching observation means configured to observe upper air environment immediately before launching an airship to acquire ambient air data on the actual conditions of the upper ambient air including altitude, pressure, wind direction, wind speed and temperature; determining an ascension profile for the airship by simulation using the ambient air data on the actual conditions of the ambient air; determining an initial quantity of Helium gas conforming to the actual conditions of the ambient air; and adjusting the quantity of Helium gas in the Helium room to the initial quantity of Helium gas to set an initial buoyancy. The method sets hull parameters for the hull of the airship to provide an ascension profile conforming to the actual conditions of the ambient air.

    摘要: Innovative new methods in connection with lighter-than-air free floating platforms, of facilitating legal transmitter operation, platform flight termination when appropriate, environmentally acceptable landing, and recovery of these devices are provided. Especially, termination of radio transmissions and flight related to regional, governmental and international border requirements, regulations and laws. The new methods comprise specific criteria, detection of the criteria and elements of operation for reducing or preventing illegal transmissions, for producing rapid descend to the ground, for environmentally acceptable landing and for facilitating recovery all with improved safety and enhanced compliance with known regulations.

    摘要: An air floater comprises a balloon body which seals a gas therein and balancing means detachably attached to the balloon body. The balloon body comprises a film composed of a central layer made of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer-resin, an aluminum evaporated layer provided outside the central layer, and a heated adhesive layer provided inside the central layer. The balancing means comprises a plurality of magnetic cards which are attracted by an attraction portion composed of a magnetic body attached to the balloon body. The plurality of magnetic cards includes one card having a reference weight matched with the buoyant force of the balloon body, first weight balancing cards having weight heavier by stages than the reference weight, and second weight balancing cards having weight lighter by stages than the reference weight. The balancing means may comprise sublimate sealed in a bag body. The balancing means also may comprise a balancer cover composed of an adhesive surface portion having a rear surface to be adhered to the balloon body, a cover portion, a folding portion for integrally connecting both the adhesive surface portion and the cover portion, a balancer composed of one sheet and capable of separating into a reference balancer and a regulating balancer, and a both-sided adhesive sheet for rendering the reference balancer to adhere to the surface of the adhesive surface portion. The air floater is adapted for use as a miniature airship.
