BYO lift

September 3rd, 2007

A couple of weekends ago this dude got up at the lake. I like his style.

Anonymous forwarded me the following:

“Check this out. This guy made this hot air balloon out of garbage bags, duct tape and a pedestal fan, and used it at Lake George at the weekend. He managed to get it up to 250m. It’s a solar balloon so you don’t use gas, just the sun heating the air up on the inside of the bag. Pretty crazy, hey!! “
