3. Describing positions of assembled components Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305 3 This section further extends the theme of assembled components by dealing with language for describing the positions of components, relative to one another. Students at this level should already know some of the words, such as next to and inside. However, these are covered, as they are useful for teaching new synonyms.

6. more vocabulary Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305 6 cluster = group, situated close together helium (He) = a gas less dense than air In early airships, hydrogen (H) was used but it is highly flammable and explosive when mixed with large amounts of air. Helium has the advantage of being inert i.e. it does not burn or react with other substances and is therefore safer. bumper / fender (American English) = a buffer protecting car bodywork at front or rear makeshift = put together quickly or in an amateur way, often a temporary assembly airgun = a gun that fires pellets propelled by compressed air lift = upward force controlled airspace = areas, mostly around airports, where pilots cannot fly unless they are being directed by air traffic controllers

8. CRAZY BUT TRUE: LARRY WALTERS AND THE FLYING GARDEN CHAIR Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305 8 1. On July 2, 1982, a Californian truck driver named Larry Walters sat outside his house on a garden chair. To say that he was out to get some air is an understatement, for projecting above him a cluster of ropes was tied to 42 helium-filled weather balloons. Anchor ropes, situated underneath the chair, were fastened around the bumper of his car, which was positioned just below the makeshift flying machine. 2. Mr. Walters intended to climb gently to an altitude of a few hundred feet, before drifting slowly out of town and across country. He then planned to use an airgun to shoot some balloons and descend gradually to earth.

Crazy but true: Larry Walters and the flying garden chair … Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305 9 But as the helium gas contained within the balloons warmed up in the summer sun, it progressively generated more lift. Then the anchor ropes were released, the self-assembly airship shot up like a rocket. Too shocked to reach for the pistol inserted in his pocket, the first-time pilot held on for life. In just a few minutes, Larry Walters was 16,000 feet above the ground, floating over the city of Long Beach. A short time later, there were further complications; he suddenly found himself inside controlled airspace, adjacent to Long Beach Airport. The occupants of passing Delta Airlines and TWA aircraft looked on at the

Crazy but true: Larry Walters and the flying garden chair … Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305 10 curious spectacle outside, as wide-eyed as the garden chair pilot hovering beside them. 3. Eventually, after managing to shoot some balloons, Mr. Walters descended safely to earth despite an anchor rope, which was still suspended beneath the chair, getting tangled with a power line located alongside the landing site (in someone's garden). He was immediately arrested by waiting police of6cers, and was later fined for breaking Federal aviation laws. 4. Today, cluster ballooning, while still a fairly marginal sport, is steadily starting to gain in popularity.
