    Abstract: A balloon is provided having a balloon envelope having a top portion and a bottom portion, a payload positioned beneath the balloon envelope, a moveable plate positioned atop the balloon envelope, a line attached to the moveable plate, and a control system configured to cause the line to be pulled to cause the moveable plate to be pulled towards the bottom portion of the balloon envelope such that the top portion of the balloon envelope is moved towards the bottom portion of the balloon envelope forcing gas out of the balloon envelope such that the balloon envelope is collapsed. The balloon may further include a drag plate positioned beneath the balloon envelope that serves to slow the descent of the payload to the earth.

    Abstract: Example embodiments may facilitate altitude control by a balloon in a balloon network in a manner that also can generate power. An example method involves regulating buoyancy of the balloon by solar heating atmospheric air drawn into the balloon through a first opening of an envelope of the balloon and venting heated air in the balloon out through a second opening of the envelope. Atmospheric air heated within the envelope could supply the balloon's buoyancy. The method may further involve capturing a portion of energy of the heated air as it is venting out of the balloon through the second opening, converting a portion of the captured energy into electrical energy, and storing the electrical energy. The balloon could also be configured with a heat engine for converting heat energy into mechanical and/or electrical energy.
