The easiest way to do Kong Ming lantern in kindergarten

Kong Ming lantern, also known as the sky lantern, is said to have been invented by Zhuge Kong Ming (that is, Zhuge Liang) during the Three Kingdoms. Back then, Zhuge Kongming was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help. Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind, made a floating paper lantern, tied a message for help, and escaped from danger in the future, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kong Ming lantern.

Another theory is that the shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Kongming, hence the name.

Steps to release the Hung Ming lantern.

Kong Ming lantern one, at least two people.

Method steps.

1.Check that the tools are ready. Kong Ming lanterns, candles, lighters, and if necessary, prepare a marker pen to write blessings.

2.Place the wax on the wire underneath the Kong Ming lantern and wrap it around. Be sure to be tangled and strong.

3.Ignition. When lighting the fire, it is best to have two people together, one person holding the Kong Ming lantern and one person lighting it.

4.After lighting the fire, you must wait until the Kong Ming lantern is completely inflated before letting go, so that the Kong Ming lantern will fly well, otherwise it will not fly.

Structure. The structure of Kong Ming lamp can be divided into three parts: the main body, the bottom ring and the fuel, the main body is mostly made of safety flame retardant cotton paper or thickened flame retardant copy paper paste into the lampshade, ordinary paper because of the low ignition point, not resistant to high temperature, so most of the Kong Ming lamps sold in the market are added flame retardant safety flame retardant paper, the bottom of the bracket is made of bamboo grate and iron wire (part of the foreign trade goods exported abroad use the bottom ring made of bamboo strips and high-grade fireproof cotton thread), Most of the oversized Kong Ming lantern bottom ring uses glass fiber reinforced plastic rod and plastic wire as the main production material, and the fuel of Kong Ming lantern is also divided into a variety of kinds, the most common is white small wax block fuel, the main components are asbestos and wax oil, and the slightly more high-grade Kong Ming lantern fuel is generally cardboard and cotton specially customized cotton fuel, and the firepower is greater. Hung Ming lanterns can be large or small, generally oval, heart-shaped, cylindrical or cuboidal shaped.

In recent years, there are also some novel styles in the market, such as four-color models, oval models with floating tails, butterfly models and maple leaf shaped Kong Ming lanterns.

Make. First, prepare the materials.

The materials used to make Kong Ming lanterns include: copy paper, paper knives, scissors, needle-nose pliers, cotton thread, industrial alcohol, glue, wires, cotton, and bamboo strips.

Second, the steps of making Kong Ming lanterns.

1. Cutting bamboo: use a knife to cut the bamboo strips to a thickness of less than three millimeters, and then bend the bamboo strips into a circle and fix them with cotton thread or 502 glue. Bamboo is elastic, and the bamboo ring may not be round, so you can roast it over low heat to fix the bamboo ring into a circle.

2. Twist the copper wire: use needle-nose pliers to remove the insulation layer on the outside of the waste wire to get a fine copper wire. However, the copper wire should not be too thin, otherwise it will be easy to burn, and you can use 3 copper wires to screw together to avoid this problem.

4. Fixed shape: paste the hole above, after drying, inflate the balloon, find a thin and narrow bamboo strip, bend it into a bamboo ring of the same size as the hole below, cross two thin wires perpendicular to each other in the bamboo circle, and tie it firmly on the bamboo circle, and then stick the bamboo ring firmly on the paper edge of the hole below, and the balloon can not leak.

5. Try to fly: tie the copper wire to both ends of the bamboo ring, and then glue the finished lampshade to the bamboo ring. Tie cotton to the copper wire, soak it in alcohol, light it and let it go.

At the same time, it should be noted that Kong Ming lanterns must be released in windless weather and open fields, otherwise they will not only fail to fly into the sky, but may also cause disasters. When flying, you need to work with 2-3 people, and it is strongly recommended that you be accompanied by an adult.

In addition, it can be tied to the bottom of the Kong Ming lantern, so that it can not only be released repeatedly, but also control the take-off height and range to avoid disasters.

Nowadays, the festivals that release Kong Ming lanterns include the Lantern Festival, Tanabata Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., and the release of Kong Ming lanterns entrusts various wishes. People put a lot of wishes in the flying Kong Ming lanterns, looking forward to the day when their dreams come true. The following is an introduction to the production method of Kong Ming lantern, I believe you can also make a good work after watching me.

8. You can color the paper according to your personal preferences, or you can draw simple patterns to add the artistic sense of Kong Ming lanterns.

4. Fixed shape, there is a place to write one more word.

The method of Kong Ming lantern is simple and beautiful as follows:

First of all, prepare three large sheets of tissue paper, one piece of solid alcohol, thin wire, glue, etc.

The steps are as follows: 1. Align three large sheets of tissue paper on top of each other.

2. Fold it vertically in half (fold the width in half) and draw an arc with a pen on both sides.

3. Cut off the leftovers.

4. Glue the cut three sheets of paper into a tricone with paste.

5. Use a vise to cut a piece of thin iron wire out, bend the thin iron wire into a circle, fix it into a cross with iron wire in the middle, and reserve a place to put solid alcohol.

6. Apply paste around the bottom of the finished tripyramidal, fix the round thin wire, and insert the tip of solid alcohol into it.

7. When setting off the Kong Ming lantern, the paper should be propped up first, then the alcohol should be put on, the fire will be ignited, and after more than ten seconds, the hot air will expand the Kong Ming lantern, and the Kong Ming Qin coarse lamp can be released and raised.

Kong Ming lantern, also known as the sky lantern, commonly known as the wishing lantern and the prayer lantern, is an ancient Han handicraft. In ancient times, Kong Ming lanterns were mostly used for military purposes. Modern people put Kong Ming lanterns, mostly for blessings.

Men, women and children write their blessings with their own hands, symbolizing a good harvest and happiness every year.

The drifting direction of Kong Ming lanterns cannot be controlled, so they can only "resign themselves to fate". Once the wind and direction are unstable or improperly set off after liftoff, the Kong Ming lantern will directly threaten the safety of aircraft, high-voltage power supply equipment, communication facilities, mountains and forests, and all kinds of buildings, and pose a great danger to the fire safety on the ground.

Analysis: 1. Selection of materials: Any paper can be used as a material for making Kong Ming lanterns, but it is best to choose materials that are dense, lighter and not easy to catch fire. For example: translucent paper.

2. Design concept (drawing a rough design three-dimensional diagram): The design concept must be taken into account.

1. The position of the center of gravity of the sphere: try to avoid the design of the center of gravity deviating from the vertical center line, so as not to cause the ignition source to burn to the sphere during liftoff.

2. Appearance, beauty, surface processing: If the shape design is an asymmetrical shape, it is necessary to pay attention to the position of the fire source and the center of gravity.

3.Weight of the sphere and the size of the fire source: The weight of the sphere is related to the lift force, and the size of the lift force determines the temperature of the air heated by the ignition source and the size of the sphere. It is not suitable for the sphere to be too heavy and the fire source to be too small.

3. Manufacturing Procedures:

1.Calculate the volume of the lamp body and calculate the size of the division (Fig. 2).

2 Use these dimensions to cut the sample in thick cardboard.

3. Use the sample to cut the skin.

4 Bonding: 1) There are two types of bonding methods:

a) Overlapping adhesive method: After gluing, the adhesive will protrude from the surface of the ball.

b) After gluing, the adhesive is flat to the spherical surface. (Figure 5).

2) Bonding steps:

a) First take two pieces as a unit, glue them and dismantle them.

b) Repeat the gluing step in (a) until the shape is complete.

6.Test its stability: blow the lamp body with a hair dryer to test its stability and check whether there are any holes. (Figure 8).

7.Paint, color. (Figure 9).

Fourth, the lift-off procedure:

The production method of Kong Ming lantern is very simple, but when it is lifted off, it is greatly affected by the venue and weather. When the wind is strong, it is easy to blow the lamp body obliquely and burn the lamp body, and when it rains, it is easy to get wet and cannot fly, so it is best to walk when there is no wind.

1.First, open the lamp body, and tie the control line around and at the bottom. (Figure 10).

2.Refill fuel.

3.After ignition, press the air inlet as low as possible to reduce heat loss, but not too low to avoid insufficient oxygen and stalling. At the same time, the control line around it must be straightened. (Figure 11).

4.After heating until the temperature of the hot air in the lamp body is sufficient, the control line around the lamp is slowly loosened to maintain the stable rise of the lamp body, and the control line at the bottom must control the speed and height of the lamp body. (Figure 12).

5.After the sphere is lifted off, its height and direction can be controlled by the line, or it can be allowed to float freely, so that the liftoff is completed.

The tutorial on how to make Kong Ming lanterns is as follows:

1.Cut 3-4 of the birthday candles in half (6-8 in total) and scrape the wax off the head so that each candle has a long wick.

2.Cut the foil into 12x12cm squares.

3.Fold the foil cube on each side so that the wax does not spill out of the imitation cover.

4.Use a match lighter to melt the ends of the candle and use the melted wax to glue the candle to the metal foil.

5.Take 3 straw connections (place one inside the other) so that the length of the straw is slightly shorter than the width of the bag.

6.Place a huge straw over the opening of the bag and glue it to the edge of the bag.

7.Place another giant straw vertically on top of the other, cross them in the middle and glue them to the edges, making sure the bag is tight.

8.Stick the aluminum foil with the candle to the center of the straw so that the candle is pointing towards the closed end of the bag.

9.Optionally, if you don't want it to float away, tie the rope to one of the straws.

10.Hold the tip of the bag and light the candle.

11.Once completely filled with hot air, loosen the bag.

The lantern floats because of physics. The use of hot air creates buoyancy that causes the fire to rise. The candle on the foil heats the air inside the pouch, and this heated air creates lift through buoyancy.

The density of the air inside the bag is lower than that of the air around the bag. The difference in density due to the buoyancy created by the surrounding air causes the lantern to lift from the ground. This follows Archimedes' principle, which states that any object suspended in a fluid body is subjected to an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The principle also applies to objects in the air.

The production of Kong Ming lantern is divided into eight steps, and the materials need to be prepared: three sheets of large tissue paper, a piece of solid alcohol, thin iron wire, and paste.

1. Stack three large sheets of thin paper up and down (choose translucent tissue paper that is not flammable, the paper is light, and it is easier to fly).

2. Fold it vertically in half (fold the wide side in half), and draw a semicircular arc with a pen on both corners. Disorderly limbs.

3. Cut off the corners with scissors.

4. Use glue to glue the three pieces of cut paper to the opposite sides to form a tricone.

5. Bend the thin iron wire into a circle with a vise, fix the wire into a cross in the middle, and reserve a place for placing solid alcohol.

6. Coat the bottom perimeter of the finished tricone with slurry, fix the round thin wire, and put the tip of the solid alcohol into it (be sure to pay attention to the position of the center of gravity of the sphere, the appearance design is generally symmetrical, so that the center of gravity of the Kong Ming lantern is not easy to deviate).

7. When the glue is dry, open the paper, put alcohol on it, ignite the fire, and after more than ten seconds, the hot air expands the Kong Ming lantern, and the Kong Ming lantern can be let go and rise.

8. You can color the paper according to your personal preferences, or you can draw simple patterns to add a sense of artistry to Kong Ming lanterns.

At the same time as the Kong Ming lantern was released, people placed various wishes. Some people express their thoughts and wishes for their relatives and friends; Some people express their beautiful vision for the future; Some people express their expectations for a beautiful love.

Step 1: Paper selection of lanterns. It is best to choose translucent paper for making Kong Ming lanterns, because this kind of paper is relatively light and easier to fly. In addition, the non-flammable paper is also often used.

Step 2: Design the shape of the Hung Ming lantern. In the design of the shape of the Kong Ming lantern, it is necessary to pay attention to the position of the center of gravity of the sphere.

If the position of the center of gravity is not properly grasped, it is easy to have problems when releasing Kong Ming, and the fire is likely to burn the paper. The design of the lantern is generally symmetrical, so that the center of gravity of the lantern is not easy to deviate.

Step 3: Calculate the volume of the lantern and calculate the size of the paper needed to make the lantern. Then the paper is glued, and when glued, two sheets of paper are glued. Finally, it is flat on the spherical surface.

Step 4: Install the light source. When installing the lamp source base for Kong Ming lanterns, you can use thick cardboard to glue the bottom of the lamp as a base, and then fix the keg that can be used to install fuel on the base.

After such a process is completed, a brand new Kong Ming lantern is ready. However, at this stage of production, you can also color the paper early according to your personal preferences, or you can draw simple patterns to increase the artistic sense of the lantern.
