The information of this brand is filed at the Paris MAE.
From Appendix 10: In the Group of "Burners" for hot air balloons, a modern chapter for those used by Ultramagic balloons has been made.
-We would like to balance it with one of those used in the free and captive Montglofiers of the late nineteenth century and perhaps early twentieth. The ones that are patented by Louis Godard and J. Feuilloud.
“Burners and fuel tank”
-The tank contains liquefied fuel that turns into gas shortly before entering each burner, due to the temperature.
“Details for a single burner”
-The fuel arrives through K from the pressurized tank. In I, we have a manual purge pump, possibly for starting.
-The fuel surrounds the burner body in G and G1. From there it flows to the base where it enters the chamber with the flame leaving through the chimney.
-The author considers the hot-air balloon burners as real "engines" that make a device ascend. Therefore, if they generate a lift, they do a job, etc. etc.
