!±8± KNIXS Himmelslaternen / Skylaternen

Skylaternen haben viele Namen. Sie werden Himmelslaternen, Feuerlaternen oder Fluglaternen genannt. Ihr asiatischer Name Tiang Deng bedeutet „Laterne hergestellt aus Papier". Manchmal werden sie auch Kong Ming nach dem chinesischen Militärführer genannt, der sie bereits vor etwa 2.000 Jahren einsetzte. Diese Himmelslaternen blicken auf eine lange Tradition in der östlichen Welt zurück. Mittlerweile gelten sie als Glücksbringer, ein Symbol für alle guten Wünsche. Deshalb werden sie auch Wunschlaternen genannt. Vor dem Aufsteigen flüstern Sie Ihre guten Wünsche in die KNIXS Skylaterne oder schreiben sie auf das dünne Papier der Glückslaterne. Wenn die KNIXS Skylaternen in den Himmel steigen, sind sie über viele Kilometer sichtbar. Sie steigen maximal 400m in den Himmel und leuchten etwa 5 bis 25 Minuten.

Tinfoil-Garbage Bag Hot Air Balloon

Old Footage from 2004 of some friends in college doing some rather dangerous inventing involving free floating fire... All this balloon/kongming consisted of was a garbage bag stretched out with a heat gun, a tin foil cup then pinned to the bag, and a small ball of cloth soaked in kerosene. The lip of the balloon was protected and formed by tiny wrappings of copper wire. One would fill the bag with hot air using the heat gun, then light the cloth ball to keep it afloat. We tied a long string to the foil so the contraption wouldn't get away and burn the city down... You can probably see that this was a beta test!

History of Kongming Lanterns

!±8± History of Kongming Lanterns

The history of the Kongming Lantern is one that is bewildering to historians here in the West, because in spite of its rather diminutive size, the Kongming Lantern is a product whose background has been muddled by legend, half-truths and historical inconsistencies. Part of the problem stems directly from the Chinese culture itself, whereby traditionally any invention (regardless of the nature of the invention or the field in which it was applicable to) would be accredited to a prominent leader or statesmen rather than the actual inventor of the device. (Whether or not the genuine creators of the inventions were particularly happy with this state of affairs remains to be answered!)

The Kongming Lantern, when originally developed, was intended specifically for military usage, designed as a makeshift aerial spying unit, so as to better keep an eye on the enemy from an aerial vantage point. Whether this was intention ever came to actual fruition remains subject to speculation, and historical records are exceptionally vague and contradictory on this particular matter. A more cynical person would be perhaps inclined to argue that surely these balloons would not be sturdy enough to sufficiently sustain the weight of the soldiers required to properly spy on the enemy.

What we can be certain about however, is that the Kongming Lantern was used as a signalling beacon, in order to provide a critical signal at the appropriate time, and allowed the land based infantry to more effectively communicate with the navy and vice versa. There are countless tales as well of the Kongming Lantern being used as a decoy device, intended to lure unwitting enemy forces to a particular area, only to be subsequently ambushed as they are returned home, tired, weary and utterly demoralised at their futile efforts.

A Brief History of Chinese Lanterns

!±8± A Brief History of Chinese Lanterns

Chinese Lanterns have been around literally for thousands of years. Their use dates back as three hundred years BC, with the invention first being recorded as being used as well as other related experiments being documented around the same time. The invention is attributed to Kongming, who was a well known third century military advisor and strategist but it is likely someone else invented the Chinese lantern and it was later attributed to this popular figure rather than the actual inventor. Either way, these floating paper lanterns have many more uses today than they did when they were originally invented.

First Use of Chinese Lanterns: Military Use

As with many inventions that we see today, the first Chinese Lantern application was a military one. With the invention of the lantern, came an excellent way to signal troop formations during military manoeuvres. Whether doing so as a drill or in the middle of combat, floating lanterns were used to tell the troops what they needed to do. Combining the colour of the lantern with a boldly painted on symbol, each division would know what colour they were to look for and the symbol could indicate anything from attack to retreat to more complex commands such as moving to flank an opposing force. With the help of Chinese Lanterns, the Chinese armies of the day were well respected fighting forces that could easily take on any opposing army.

Civilian Uses

Once these lanterns became more popular, their use in mainstream Chinese culture became more and more common. Soon after they helped the military become successful on the battlefield, they began being used by the common person in a serene and peaceful way. The original way this began was with festivals. These were held both as scheduled events as well as celebrations of victory by the armies. The mass launch of Chinese lanterns during festivals was done frequently but the most common were New Years festivals. During these festivals, messages asking for a good year were written on the lantern as well as hopes, dreams and prayers for the future. In Thailand, these festivals and the Chinese lanterns took on a big part of the festival with incredibly large launches during festivals as well as launches frequently throughout the year on an individual level. They believed the floating lanterns were a direct conduit to the heavens as well as being a symbol of worries, problems and stress floating away.

Uses Today

Today, people around the globe use Chinese Lanterns in the traditional manner but also go far astray from their original uses. Traditional calendar events still get the same attention, especially in countries with large populations from Thailand or China but they are also a common site at other times and without the traditional reason for launch. For example, they have become incredibly popular at festivals around England, to the point where unfortunately they have been on the excluded items list. Chinese lanterns are also a common site on any given night in regions that cater to holiday crowds.
