Sky Lanterns, more commonly known as KongMingDeng was invented by the Chinese as War signals along with the kites. After the warring ages, these lanterns were used during Chinese lantern festivals to carry messages and hopes to the God above. These lanterns spread from China to most of Asia and even to Brazil! These lanterns also than became the prototype of hot air balloons.
Jesus Christ I don’t get it... which needs to be pre-heated, the lantern? If so, how do we do that without lighting up the lantern? Sorry, completely new at this... need some tips! :)
Better to use the ones that are all bamboo (hoop) and string (biodegradable).. the wire one's are an issue for wildlife. just saying. Also, remember physics.. the lift (hot air) has to exceed the weight. The only variable int he equation is the weight of the fuel cake. I find that if you trim a bit off each corner, maybe a 1/4 inch.. it will fly sooner and again, physics.. just as high.
+lampshade walker Thanks. I agree. Even if I a bit of a pyro. Love things that burn in the night, in a safe manner, of course. These are awesome to watch when many are launched at the same time.
@PRATHEEMA.B Balu the middle wires support the fire cake -- the square part that you light with the torch is the "cake" in the middle. The round wire is the "hoop" that the paper lantern is glued to.
Nice video. I brought few of them and tried to make them fly, but it's too windy here. I thought I'm doing it wrong. But nope, it's just because of the strong winds my lanterns are not flying
wow....this is great, sir, very much appreciated....the instructions on the package made no sense whatsoever, but had a good laugh reading them. thank you for the video.
Sir I have a project on making sky lantern. I have made it with butter(tracing) paper. Only fuel is needed to make it touch the sky. I just want to know that could I use any other homemade power(fuel) source instead of that which is provided with that of ready-made. Please help me to complete my project. THANK YOU
+Neelam Lal This is a question I don't have an answer to. Maybe someone else knows a good source of fuel? Maybe try looking up "sky lantern fuel source" on RUclips for ideas? Sorry I don't know all the answers.
When I first tries this it got stuck in a tree and it almost set in on fire, I was whipping things at it at around 12 at night trying to get it to leave, I was terrified that I was going to burn everything down, finally I hit it and whipped it down with a mop! Lesson of the day- be patient and careful when using these!
These are illegal in many states and other countries. Please check your local laws and only use these in an open area where there are no trees or buildings. They can also cause harm to animals if not retrieved after they land.
On february this year I gifted around (1500 pieces) my boss MAC candidate for he is elected again for the second term. I still got 3000 pieces at home. Idk how to sell it... I keep on advertising it but i could sell only some. Bought it from China. Me from Assam.

Interesting.
I like kung pow chicken!
Thnks alot
Tejas dhaliwal thanks sir. My pleasure.
We normally let helium balloons go for my son,but recently someone recommend sky lanterns.which drew me to your video,im ready to order some now
Be sure you launch them in a safe place.
Super idea to impress anyone
Finally I got it wright..Thank you so much..
Thank you for posting these instructions as I am going to launch them tonight with my grandkids.
Preheat for a few minutes using the blowtorch before lighting fuel. Lasts longer, goes way higher.
+Jesus Christ Once again, an insightful comment. I'll have to use your technique if I ever launch these things again.
Jesus Chria1st

Very very nice

Excellent idea. Trimming the corners to reduce weight. I like that idea.
Thank you 🙏 ❤

Hi Thanks for all
Preheating is a great idea. I wonder why I didn't think of that. Great tip there, Jesus.
i should have done that too. mine crash landed ontop of my house
+348frank348 did it cause any damage or quickly extinguish itself? I'm so nervous about using on a windy day
itsonlyada it won't fly in the wind. Must be a calm day.

+Lucky wind is the lantern's enemy. They just won't fly in any wind. Need perfect calm.
Lucky hi

Ok
+Neelam Lal Paraffin is used. It is also called paraffin wax and is also used in home canning.
@@Rassettaja *OK*
*I'm replying comment on my comment after 4 years.*
Amazing!!!💕😍 Isn't it?
I'm *Neelam Lal.*
_I just keep changing my ID name._
today i'll try this.
Thanks bro..😂but when i tried the glowing candle falls on ground before flying 😁
Lock the wax square in with the wire loops so it won't fall off.
I love the latest launched sky lanterns a lot more. Thanks for watching latest launched sky lanterns a lot more.
Awesome.... better than those videos of PLASTIC sky lanterns flying everywhere lol
would be faster and better to also use the torch to heat the interior much faster.
Nice Dude
Perfect. .
When I first tries this it got stuck in a tree and it almost set in on fire, I was whipping things at it at around 12 at night trying to get it to leave, I was terrified that I was going to burn everything down, finally I hit it and whipped it down with a mop!
Lesson of the day- be patient and careful when using these!
Maybe don't launch where there are trees and buildings.

Thnks dude

Me from Assam.
I ordered mine off of amazon I got 20 pack creatov sky lanterns you can get 20 sky lanterns for $9.90
i want to know what is the metal wire used here sir and the middle piece kept to light
Rolled homegenous steel. Highly dense steel composite used to as armour on armoured vehicles because of its density and weight
any metal wire can be use dear
Good
This is cool man🤙🤙🤙🤙
Great way to start a wild fire!
Adi Satzinger especially if you launched it in a place where there is stuff that burns.
Thanks mate.. You made my diwali night.. Love from India👍

Kate Kit That option is available.
in india u can get a piece for 0.60 to 0.75 dollars
