Sky lanterns are known under a variety of names; they are popularly referred to as "Chinese" and "wish balls." It is believed that before you let go of the domed structure into the sky, you need to write your desire on it, and then it will certainly come true. But still, about everything in order, and we will begin with detailed instructions on how to start a sky lantern.
Why let your wishes go to heaven, and where did this tradition come from?
Often, sky lanterns are called "Chinese." This is not entirely true since they originally appeared in Thailand. In Russia and Europe, paper lanterns of desires have become popular relatively recently. Today they can be purchased at any holiday store or souvenir shop. These products have a relatively low cost. The answer to the question of whether it is possible to launch sky lanterns is positive. In addition, you can always choose the option that suits you in shape, size and color. The launch of one flashlight looks interesting, and the mass flow into the sky of several units looks especially spectacular.
How to start a sky lantern on your own?
Remember that the ball of desires is not pyrotechnics, and it can be released into the sky without any special skills. But still, you should not trust the launch of small children or disabled citizens. Read the operating instructions on the flashlight packaging. General recommendations for products of all shapes and sizes. The flashlight must be pulled out of the packaging and straightened. The burner can be installed immediately, or it must be fixed on its own. It’s more convenient to run one flashlight together when someone holds the product by the hoop, and his partner lights up. After you set the burner on fire, you need to hold the dome straightened and allow it to fill with hot air. Even if you still do not know how to launch a sky lantern, you should not be afraid - you have at least a minute of time, and until you release the product, it will not fly away. During this period, you can beautifully take a picture. Then you release the flashlight into the sky, and it quickly soars up. However, perhaps for some time you can enjoy his flight.
Where you can launch sky lanterns: secrets and recommendations
It is most convenient to send balls of wishes on a flight outside the city limits. But if you don’t have the opportunity to go to nature, release the flashlights anywhere where there are no houses and other buildings, as well as
power lines and tall trees. What time of year to send your desires to heaven is also unprincipled. But in the summer, the flashlight will start much faster than in the winter. The weather should be calm, otherwise the ball will fly crookedly and ugly or will be completely blown away at launch. Even if you still do not know how to launch a sky lantern, and are going to try to do it for the first time, be sure to inspect the product for damage. If there are holes, they must be sealed with tape. Do not forget that sky balls look much more spectacular in the dark, but in the afternoon their launch is unlikely to impress anyone.
