A hot air balloon comprises of a bag known as the envelope which is capable of carrying heated air. Suspended under is the wicker basket or gondola which bears the passengers and a generator of heat. In case of some of the high-altitude or long-distance balloons, a capsule is there. The heated air in the envelope causes it buoyant as it is having a very low density than the comparatively cold air out of the envelope. Dissimilar to gas balloons, the envelope does not need to be sealed off at the bottom portion because the hot air which is rising only exercises pressure on the uppermost hemisphere of the balloon to help in a lift. In the sports balloons today, the envelope is usually made up of nylon fabric and the mouth of the balloon which is very close to the burner flame is constructed from fire repellent material like Nomex. Of late, balloon envelopes are found to be made in various delighting shapes, like that of rocket ships, hot dogs and the shapes of a number of commercial products.
