LED light or heating element?
To generate heat electrically inside a balloon for lift would a 20 watt LED light or a 20 watt heating element make more heat to lift a small closed hot air balloon droid and solar cell?
Having a black balloon would convert the light into heat and a 20 watt LED does get hot and heat-sync would add to the total heat output. I don't know if the balloon and parts being black would matter with a heating element or material would be best to use unlike traditional open hot air balloon material?
In a transparent balloon all the parts of it can be inside of it with the exception of the propellers.
