Balloon is a flexible bag filled with a gas, such as helium,
hydrogen, nitrous oxide or air. Early balloons were made of
dried animal bladders. Modern balloons can be made from
materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene or a nylon
fabric. Some balloons are purely decorative, while others
are used for specific purposes such as meteorology, medical
treatment, military defense, or transportation. A balloon's
properties, including its low density and relatively low
cost, have led to a wide range of applications.
History
The first balloon was invented by Brazilian-born Portuguese
priest, Bartolomeu de Gusmão, and the first public
exhibition was to the Portuguese Court on August 8, 1709, in
the hall of the Casa da India in Lisbon. The rubber balloon
was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824; it was inflated
with hydrogen and used in his experiments with that element.
The more familiar latex balloons of today were first
manufactured in London, 1847, by J.G. Ingram, but mass
production did not occur until the 1930s. |
