Hi All
Well yesterday the balloon did not wake up as usual. It had made it clear over a terrible storm in the Midwest Usa and was entering North Dakota when the sunlight and battery ran out ,and it went to sleep.
Unfortunately there is no "Walt Disney Ending" on this flight.
The flight however, was pretty amazing, and averaged 3000km per day and the only fuel used was sunlight and a couple of cubic feet of hydrogen, that could have been produced by some balls of aluminum foil and drain cleaner..
So EEVblog members ... get building....
Thanks for your interest.
Dave
