Back in (I think) 1980, my buddy and I made up about 40 of these using similar methods; balsa wood, shoe box cardboard, aluminum foil, cotton balls and gasoline for fuel. We used extra long garment bags from a dry cleaner (taped closed at the top). We secretly set these off on Halloween night and had the entire neighborhood and surrounding area totally in wonder at what they were. We did catch a couple of tall trees on fire with all the dry leaves (not the most responsible thing to do) but it did work out. That was the time when UFO's where all the rage and we had a lot of people kinda scared. The smoke from the fire box made the bag look really creepy! It was awesome!
I was thinking about creating something like this, but I wondered if it was perhaps dangerous. That's what I came to the comments for. I wanted to see if anyone had anything to say about the possibility of the lanterns getting stuck in the trees or landing in dry grass and starting a fire. Seems kinda irresponsible to play with fire this way.
great way to pollute with plastics. well done. These should be made with paper and non petroleum based products. last thing we all need is more plastics in the watershed
nop, because the lantern stops climbing when it runs out of fuel. And if it falls before running out of fuel the friction of the air during the fall will extinguish the flame. Light a match and open the window of your car while you are driving, what do you think is gonna happen?^^
@UC-I9HVasoafZcvshqfg08Dw you idiot its the alcohol thats on fire. Spray some lighter fluid or barbecue starter in a cup and light it. The open your window and tell me what happens. And i got news for you your car is traveling alot faster creating more wind than this thing would.
people are complaining about the negative impacts on the environment. So to anyone who wants to do this. Use tissue paper instead of a plastic bag so if it ends up in the ocean it’ll dissolve. also they used wooden skewers instead of iron/metal coils which was a great alternative. ☺️
Btw for anyone wondering why they use nail polish remover they probably have alcohol such as rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol banned or hard to get so they use ail polish remover but you can use rubbing alcohol and it'll work great.
Damon Salvatore: "Can you believe that, flying Japanese lanterns. Japanese lanterns are the symbol of letting go past. Well here is the news flash, we're not Japanese" your video just reminded me that scene. :D
Unless you plan on retrieving your lantern, please do not use plastics as they are not bio-degradable. There are plenty of other tutorials for sky lanterns that use paper.
Neuon Au plastic trash bags in the United States now contain cornstarch or similar product to produce a bag that will break down if exposed to uv light or moisture for an extended period. tgese new bags are biodegradable on the surface after a year. in the ground they take 14 months.
I was thinking the same thing. We buy organic ones and let them out over the ocean and going down the Chinese Lantern rabbit hole I found this tidbit: ruclips.net/video/Xx0M2X20fTc/видео.html Unreal. Now I have to build one of these. Searching for ways to do it.
next time you do this project with thousand of people on football field then release all the flying in to the sky at the same time.is that will be wonderful.
I've been lost in this rabbit hole of lanterns for an hour now and found "Chinese lantern gone bad" on youtube. The outcome was exactly as you predicted. Then I found this: ruclips.net/video/Xx0M2X20fTc/видео.html
Dude! Pollution alert! Where the heck do you all think the plastic in the oceans is coming from? It is careless uses like this. This is a bad idea you guys, please don't do this.
How long does it last? I don't want to launch it and then it ends up in plants setting em on fire. Nevermind. Just found out they are banned from California:(

I agree
Shut up
then the paper will get molted plus it will still be polluted cuz its gonna burn up
Thanks bro for the sky lantern idea
I've been looking all over for it
That's a very interesting way to start a fire in the neighborhood!
(Jokes aside, thank you for the video!)
That’s gonna create a forest fire 🔥

sartha what if the plastic catch fire in middle air? It will create a fire plastic ball.
@@felipipi this bitch said plastic fireball 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent way to burn down trees or start a brush fire. So unless you are in the middle of the ocean don’t do this.
Btw for anyone wondering why they use nail polish remover they probably have alcohol such as rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol banned or hard to get so they use ail polish remover but you can use rubbing alcohol and it'll work great.
Alcohol will burn, but hardly create any light.

lol tjat scene was so sad
Looks like a real good way to start brush fires.
So what happens when it lands by accident and is still burning? Cool idea but extremely irresponsible.

Please FUCK OFF!!!
Fuck you, fuck earth
here we can observe the many tracks of the so called party pooper

Yes good point i agree too
When littering the traditional way gets boring..

These are the funniest flipped comments I've seen on a video in a long time totally laughing out loud here reading all these, thanks for the smiles
now that you know how to make a sky lantern: please dont make one.
What's your problem if we make one?
@@farhanaahmed9046 litter from the plastic products
Yeah, the entire house on wich those lantern choose to land is also compostable by fire.
Release it in the sea
Don't worry I bought three ones made out of paper and they landed in the neighbor's fields.
Very nice use of dustbin bag to lantern
In place of nail Polish can we use alcohol
I need to learn this now so I can show my kids a fun time when I have them.
very nice.it,s work 100%.thanks for him.who make this..♣
You must be as thick and stupid as the moron who posted this
next time you do this project with thousand of people on football field then release all the flying in to the sky at the same time.is that will be wonderful.
Yes lets fill the air with plastic bags, goog job
We made those as kids except we used dry cleaner bags and sealed the top in by laying a towel on the bag and ironing the towel to fuse the plastic
and now i Will show you how to start a random fire in the neighbor yard.

Where do you find cheap trash bags like that?They are really thin. I can see why it worked.

Tie a thread to it and another to an anchor so that it stays in sight.
It would be too heavy for the balloon to lift

Osm bdi

ANONYMOUS HACKER Wed cd djz
How can it be that the wood sticks don't flame up immediately? They are set in the middle of the fire..
Looks pretty cool but you are sending a plastic bag into the air and then just not picking it up when you're done
background music is awesome
How is the plastic not catching fire?
Is the green stripe thing a straw?
nice thinking
Best,👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊
Super bro
Nice👌👌
nia sharma
Is this a clean wrap?
How long does it last? I don't want to launch it and then it ends up in plants setting em on fire. Nevermind. Just found out they are banned from California:(
Should be titled "How to fires." (I'm sure many other comments say the same.)
really nice idea..!
nice video not bad
Does the fire go out by itself?
I have now confirmed : flying condoms exists.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant! Like a big, giant, flying condom:)
Owh shit that what I was thinking about it too
