38-year-old Robert Harrison used a set of affordable and accessible devices to be mounted on a balloon camera, which could rise to 35 km above the Earth's surface. Result - Made a number of shots from a height that can be achieved only rockets and weather balloons.
Contraptions consist of ordinary Canon camera mounted on a balloon. Using software downloaded from the Internet Harrison reprogrammed the camera to include every five minutes, made eight shots, and goes to sleep.
It seems impossible, but a digital camera, GPS unit, tape and a balloon is all that were needed to produce spectacular images of the Earth.
The beginning of a hobby became a desire to take photographs of your home, using a helicopter on the remote control. The experiment failed. Then Harrison used the balloon and began to take pictures from a greater height. The resulting photos were so striking that the Nasa associated with it believed that was used to capture the satellite. NASA experts have recognized that the creation of such images they spend millions.
GPS Module allow him to monitor the movement of the balloon up to 10 meters and found him on his return to Earth.
Both the camera and the GPS device was wrapped in a layer of thermally insulating material torn from their own to maintain the temperature of the attic, which allows the camera to operate in the high atmosphere.
At ground level, the balloon has a diameter of one meter, but with the rise into the stratosphere and reducing the external pressure helium balloons to twenty shell. She finally breaks down and the camera on a small parachute.
