Abstract

The device has a conductor cable associated to a holding cable and connected with France electricity and photovoltaic panels for conveying electricity to the device, where the holding cable permanently connects a hot air balloon to ground. An electrical resistor is placed above a nacelle and powered by the panels to heat air contained in the balloon. The nacelle is permanently connected to the ground by a metal cable such that the balloon is located in a fixed point.

Description

II) Présentation du Proiet - L'idée : ce concept nouveau du Voyage en Montgolfière présente avant tout l'avantage de se situer en un point fixe, car la nacelle est reliée en permanence au sol par un càble métallique de 150 à 200 mètres, Cela permettra d'y effectuer Ascension et Descente au même endroit, sans les inconvénients d'un atterrissage en un lieu non-défini mais lointain du point de départ et incluant un rapatriement. On pourra de plus bénéficier tout autant des points de vue inégalables et de sensations comparables à ce que procurent les Montgolfières classiques. La seconde spécificité de ce concept est un réchauffement de l'air contenu dans le ballon au moyen d'une résistance électrique alimentée par EDF et par des panneaux photovoltaiques basés sur le Parc, ce qui confère à notre Montgolfière un avantage écologique non négligeable puisque une ascension traditionnelle exige de bruler environ 40L de propane. La nuisance sonore des bruleurs à gaz est aussi écartée et la revente à EDF de l'électricité produite par les panneaux P.V. devrait compenser toutes les dépenses énergétiques liées au réchauffement de l'air du ballon et au treuillage de la nacelle. - Caractéristiques techniques : * La Montgolfière proprement dite est de type classique, hormis le système de chauffage de l'air remplacé ici par une résistance électrique réglable en puissance depuis la nacelle et isolée de la toile du ballon par une entretoise en matériau non-conducteur surtout destiné à le protéger lors du gonflage en début de journée. Le ballon comporte une trappe de délestage de l'air chaud dont l'ouverture s'effectue depuis la nacelle par l'aérostier en cas de descente urgente à prévoir. La nacelle, classique elle aussi, pourra emmener 5 à 8 personnes à son bord dont un Aérostier confirmé en charge de réguler la puissance de chauffe de la résistance mais aussi de renseigner les Touristes sur le Panorama offert à leurs yeux, et de répondre aux questions techniques concernant l'ascension... * Le càble reliant la nacelle et finalisé par un système d'enroulement, sera conçu pour résister physiquement aux exigences liées au transport de personnes en altitude, prévoyant notamment de faire face à des levées de vent imprévues ou à des vents chauds ascendants. Le Personnel du Parc restant au sol sera en étroite et régulière relation avec Météo France et l'aérostier en vol, pour éviter par avance tout imprévu de ce genre, le principe de précaution restant prioritaire face à une ascension à risque. Le càble présente alors l'avantage d'une descente plus rapide que prévue par la simple trappe de délestage classique, car ici associée au moteur du treuil. Un amortisseur de tension situé entre la nacelle et le câble évitera de ressentir toutes les secousses liées à la longueur du càble. Quant à l'électricité nécessaire à la résistance, elle sera acheminée par un càble exclusivement destiné à cette fonction, parallèle au câble de maintien, et d'une longueur prévoyant largement le plus grand allongement de l'amortisseur.

We can also benefit from incomparable points of view and sensations comparable to what conventional hot air balloons provide. The second specificity of this concept is a warming of the air contained in the balloon by means of an electrical resistance powered by EDF and photovoltaic panels based on the Park, which gives our Montgolfier a significant ecological advantage since a Traditional ascent requires burning about 40L of propane. The noise nuisance of gas burners is also ruled out and the resale to EDF of the electricity produced by the P.V. panels should compensate for all the energy costs related to the air heating of the balloon and the hoisting of the nacelle. - Technical characteristics: * The hot air balloon itself is of the classic type, except for the air heating system replaced here by an electrical resistance adjustable in power from the nacelle and isolated from the canvas of the balloon by a spacer made of non-conductive material especially intended to protect it during inflation early in the day. The balloon has a hatch for relieving the hot air, which is opened from the nacelle by the ballooner in case of urgent descent to be expected. The nacelle, also classic, can take 5 to 8 people on board including a confirmed Aerosier in charge of regulating the heating power of the resistance but also to inform the tourists on the Panorama offered to them, and to answer questions Climbing techniques ... * The cable connecting the nacelle and finalized by a winding system, will be designed to physically withstand the requirements related to the transport of people at altitude, including to cope with unforeseen wind or with rising hot winds. The Park staff remaining on the ground will be in close and regular relationship with Météo France and the balloonist in flight, to avoid in advance any such unforeseen, the precautionary principle remains a priority in the face of a climb to risk. The cable then has the advantage of a faster descent than expected by the classic hatch of load shedding, because here associated with the winch motor. A voltage damper located between the basket and the cable will avoid feeling any shaking related to the length of the cable. As for the electricity required for the resistance, it will be routed by a cable exclusively for this function, parallel to the holding cable, and a length largely providing for the greater elongation of the damper.
