A Winter Amid the Ice and Other Thrilling Stories The brothers Montgolfier were men of that vigorous stamp who act promptly on receiving their convictions. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages And all this excitement was because the King had commanded Stephen Montgolfier to send a balloon up from the gardens at Versailles. Chatterbox, 1905. On the Sunday following, which was the 19th, the weather proving favorable, M. Montgolfier employed his machine to make the following experiments. The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 14 "By the way, Montgolfier has sent up a new balloon which has carried four passengers," went on the volatile d'Estaing. The False Chevalier or, The Lifeguard of Marie Antoinette Montgolfier sees a woman’s skirt drying and notices that the hot air fills it and lifts it, and this gives him the idea for a balloon. Germany and the Germans From an American Point of View The great success of the Montgolfier balloons naturally threw the efforts of Monsieur Charles and the brothers Robert into the shade. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages One of the guests was Stephen Montgolfier, for though Charles might add improvements to others' inventions, he always acknowledged to whom the first honour belonged. Chatterbox, 1905. From the fire balloon invented by the Montgolfier Brothers, in 1782, to the superior hydrogen balloon of M.M. Scientific American Supplement, No. 312, December 24, 1881 "Precisely, Madame—the coiffure Montgolfier," Germain at once replied, for he had looked into hat fashions lately.

Round-about Rambles in Lands of Fact and Fancy Tytler’s ascent, however, was almost a failure, by his employing the dangerous and unmanageable Montgolfier principle. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages The rope which controlled it was placed in the hand of Stephen Montgolfier, 'for,' said Professor Charles, 'it was you who first showed us the way to the clouds.' Chatterbox, 1905. Successive improvements made in the Montgolfiers' original invention permitted bold physicists ere long to risk themselves in a vessel attached to the air-machine. A Popular History of France from the Earliest Times, Volume 6 Thus we see how simply the ascent of Montgolfiers, and their motions, are explained. Wonderful Balloon Ascents In these latter the gas escaped, and Cavallo was about to try goldbeaters' skin at the time that the Montgolfiers came into the field with their hot air balloon. A History of Aeronautics The triumph was achieved by Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, sons of a wealthy paper-maker who dwelt at Annonay, on the banks of a rivulet which flows into the Rhone, not far from Lyons. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages At a signal given, M. Montgolfier cut the rope, and for a moment the attention of the spectators was engrossed by this little pioneer as it rose into the blue above them. Chatterbox, 1905. Nadar, Louis Godard, and Montgolfier, the two first against the ground, the third into the water. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation Some days after these experiments the conductors of the Journal de Paris who described them, received a letter from Montgolfier, and also one from Gerond de Villette.

The balloon used was a Montgolfier, or fire balloon, and, in spite of its ready inflation, MM. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation The aim of the experiment proposed by Montgolfier was not the ascent of any human being in the balloon. Wonderful Balloon Ascents The Montgolfier type of balloon, depending on hot air for its lifting power, was soon realised as having dangerous limitations. A History of Aeronautics So memorable a feat lighted up the glow of national vanity, and the two Montgolfiers were hailed and exalted by the spontaneous impulse of their fellow-citizens.” Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages This hasty note was addressed to M. Stephen Montgolfier at Annonay, near Lyons, and never was a request made that was more likely to be carefully and promptly granted. Chatterbox, 1905. Under these conditions it may then be well worth testing whether the primitive form of balloon, the Montgolfier, might not be the most valuable. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation Accordingly the ropes were cut; but at that moment M. Montgolfier and Roziers threw themselves into the gallery. Wonderful Balloon Ascents The matter was taken up on its scientific side very early in America, experiments in Philadelphia being almost simultaneous with those of the Montgolfiers in France. A History of Aeronautics This they did, but instead of applying the Montgolfier motive power—heated air—they used hydrogen gas, procured by the action of diluted sulphuric acid upon iron filings. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages Stephen Montgolfier, like his brother, had busy thoughts concerning means for rising in the air, and when Joseph returned from Avignon, they set to work with stronger hope of realising their dreams. Chatterbox, 1905. M. Montgolfier, entangled in the same manner, was re-seated in time and saved by Louis Godard. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation But a little time afterwards Montgolfier's discoveries quite altered the conditions under which the aerostatic art was to be pursued. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Montgolfier, the inventors; a globe formed of canvas and paper, 105 feet in circumference, filled with heated air, reached an uncalculated height. A History of Aeronautics Their balloon, which was made of thin silk, varnished with a solution of elastic gum, was a much nearer approach to the balloon of modern days than that of Montgolfier. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages Never had the brothers Montgolfier had a busier morning; never had the good people of Annonay seen such excitement in their quiet village. Chatterbox, 1905. Full details have been given in this chapter of the monster balloon constructed by M. Nadar; but in 1864 Eugene Godard built one larger yet of the Montgolfier type. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation Nor can the story of the ovoador, or flying man, a legend very confused, and of which there are many versions, have given to Montgolfier any valuable hints. Wonderful Balloon Ascents The next noteworthy balloon was one by Stephen Montgolfier, designed to take up passengers, and therefore of rather large dimensions, as these things went then. A History of Aeronautics Rozier’s balloon was about forty feet in diameter, and had attached to it, beneath, a smaller balloon on the Montgolfier principle. Up in the Clouds Balloon Voyages The lower section was a large bag to be filled with hot air, after Montgolfier's plan, and round which the platform for the travellers was arranged. Chatterbox, 1905. But he had accomplished no more when, as related, in the autumn of the same year the brothers Montgolfier conceived the notion of making bodies "levitate" by the simpler expedient of filling them with smoke. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation The brothers Montgolfier then made a very large and strong balloon, with which they wished to bring their discovery before the public. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Some time afterwards, about a year before the Montgolfiers commenced their experiments which we have already described, Tiberius Cavallo, an Italian chemist, succeeded in making, with hydrogen gas, soap-bubbles which rose in the air. The Mastery of the Air ‘If we were to fall upon some of them,’ said Montgolfier anxiously.

The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation It reached the ground in safety; and this first attempt, crowned with such decisive success, secured for ever to the brothers Montgolfier the glory of one of the most astonishing discoveries. Wonderful Balloon Ascents It must not be thought that the Montgolfiers experimented solely with hot air in the inflation of their balloons. The Mastery of the Air Although ninety years or so had elapsed since the days of the brothers Montgolfier, aeronautics had really made very little progress. My Days of Adventure The Fall of France, 1870-71 The first suggestion was to copy the process of Montgolfier, but Charles proposed the application of hydrogen gas, which was adopted. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Two young men, Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, the representatives of a firm of paper makers, were sitting together over their parlour fire. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation Etienne Montgolfier has left us a description of this first balloon.

The Mastery of the Air What visions and celestial scenes I filled with aerial machines,-- Montgolfier's and Mr. Green's! East and West Poems But in 1782, the year before the invention of the Montgolfiers, he succeeded in elevating soap-bubbles by inflating them with hydrogen gas. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Madame Belloc has produced, assisted by her friend, Mademoiselle Montgolfier, the best French translation of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Volume 2 Montgolfier temporised, the king forbade it, or rather only gave his permission on the condition that two condemned criminals should be placed in the balloon! Wonderful Balloon Ascents Montgolfier was not a rich man, and to enable him to continue his experiments the society granted him a considerable sum of money. The Mastery of the Air It was in the same year that the Montgolfier brothers of Annonay, near Lyons in France, conceived the idea of using hot air for lifting things into the air. Marvels of Modern Science This little story I have translated from the French of Mademoiselle Montgolfier. Piccolissima In 1783, before the Montgolfier brothers had built their fire-balloon, and Charles, the physician, had devised his first aerostat, a few adventurous spirits had dreamt of the conquest of space by mechanical means. Robur the Conqueror Montgolfier, seemed so little fitted to support them. Wonderful Balloon Ascents It was inflated with hot air over a straw fire, and seven passengers were carried, including Joseph Montgolfier and Pilatre de Rozier. The Mastery of the Air Franklin writes that the competition between Montgolfier and Charles has already resulted in progress in the construction and management of the balloon. The Age of Invention : a chronicle of mechanical conquest It may also interest our young, and, perhaps, our more advanced readers, to know, that Mademoiselle Montgolfier is the daughter of the celebrated Montgolfier who invented balloons, and made the first ascension. Piccolissima What visions and celestial scenes I filled with aerial machines, Montgolfier's and Mr. Green's! Complete Poetical Works It was on these conditions that Montgolfier commenced his balloon of 126 feet high and 100 feet in diameter, made of a double envelope of cotton cloth, with a lining of paper between. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Hitherto we have traced the gradual development of the balloon right from the early days of aeronautics, when the brothers Montgolfier constructed their hot-air balloon, down to the most modern dirigible. The Mastery of the Air One of these courageous philosophers, the Marquis d'Arlandes, did me the honor to call upon me in the evening after the experiment, with Mr. Montgolfier, the very ingenious inventor. The Age of Invention : a chronicle of mechanical conquest In another department there were models of vehicles and vessels worked by steam, and of an air-balloon which might have been constructed by Montgolfier. The Coming Race Alas, it is no Montgolfier rising there to-day; but Drudgery, Rascality and the Suburb that is rising! The French Revolution Roziers placed the crown that had been given to him upon Montgolfier's head. Wonderful Balloon Ascents These young men were brothers, named Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, and their experiments resulted in the invention of the balloon. The Mastery of the Air In the second case, the discovery of Montgolfier is useless; and the question is, to find out a new machine capable of flying in the air, and at the same time heavier than the air. Wonderful Balloon Ascents After special investigation, we find that Joseph Montgolfier was very superior to his brother, and that it is to him principally, if not exclusively, that we owe the invention of aerostation. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Is Sovereignty some poor Montgolfier; which, blown into by the popular wind, grows great and mounts; or sinks flaccid, if the wind be withdrawn? The French Revolution Montgolfier was only too glad of the opportunity—refused up to this time by the king—of going up himself. Wonderful Balloon Ascents And now we must leave the experiments of the Montgolfiers for a moment, and turn to the discovery of hydrogen gas by Henry Cavendish, a well-known London chemist. The Mastery of the Air The Brothers Montgolfier had dreamed of the employment of oars as a means of guidance, but had ultimately rejected the idea. Wonderful Balloon Ascents These experiments had only one aim—the application of Montgolfier's discovery to aerial navigation. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Chemist Charles will himself ascend, from the Tuileries Garden; Montgolfier solemnly cutting the cord. The French Revolution He suggested a number of alterations, which Montgolfier adopted at once. Wonderful Balloon Ascents To the brothers Montgolfier belongs the honour of having given the name to this type of aircraft, which, in the two succeeding centuries, became so popular. The Mastery of the Air As these pages show, the people of Europe seem to have been absolutely intoxicated by the success of the Montgolfiers' discovery. Wonderful Balloon Ascents There are aeronauts, however, who prefer a journey in a Montgolfier to one in a gas-balloon. Wonderful Balloon Ascents By Heaven, answer the spyglasses, it is a Montgolfier, a Balloon, and they are making signals! The French Revolution The structure was so large that it was impossible to get it together and stitch it, except in the open air—in the garden, in fact, where Montgolfier commenced its construction. Wonderful Balloon Ascents At this point we will leave the work of the brothers Montgolfier. The Mastery of the Air We are accustomed to rank the brothers Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier as equally distinguished in the field of science. Wonderful Balloon Ascents The accomplishment of raising oneself in the air, however, had no actual professors in antiquity, and the discovery of Montgolfier seems to have come into the world, so to speak, spontaneously. Wonderful Balloon Ascents By this it is to be understood that, unlike Copernicus and Columbus, Montgolfier could not read in history of any similar discovery, containing the germ of his own feat. Wonderful Balloon Ascents The first balloon, Montgolfier's, was simply filled with hot air; and it was because Montgolfier exclusively made use of hot air that balloons so filled were named Montgolfiers. Wonderful Balloon Ascents It was quickly seen that paper, such as was used by the Montgolfiers, was of little use in the construction of a gas balloon, for the gas escaped. The Mastery of the Air The great desire was to rival Montgolfier, although neither the report nor the letters from Annonay had made mention of the kind of gas used by that experimenter to inflate his balloon. Wonderful Balloon Ascents In reality, however, the 'Geant' was unquestionably the most rebellious and unruly specimen of its class that has been made since the days of Montgolfier. Wonderful Balloon Ascents Immediately the Comte de Laurencin pressed Montgolfier to allow him to go up in the new machine. Wonderful Balloon Ascents At last the brothers Montgolfier commenced their work. Wonderful Balloon Ascents It shot up high in the air much more rapidly than Montgolfier's hot-air balloon had done, and was soon beyond the clouds. The Mastery of the Air My companion was animated with the same sentiments, and more than once we cried out, 'Vive Montgolfier! Wonderful Balloon Ascents The king had addressed letters to the Brothers Montgolfier, and the marvellous invention had become an affair of state. Wonderful Balloon Ascents For nearly a century after the invention of the Montgolfier and Charlier balloons there was not much progress made in the science of aeronautics. The Mastery of the Air |
