Cable car day- 17 January

On January 17, year 1871, Andrew Smith Hallidie, British-born US resident, registered the first patent of the cable, making the date as of January 17, the cable car.

The design of Hallidie transferring loads generated by cable car came when he tried to pull up the steep Jackson Street in San Francisco. The inspiration came to him from watching the horses who carry loads and falling exertion, sometimes even die.

Fortunately for horses, Hallidie was not just sympathetic for them, but also a talent he executed and used trolleys traveling on long mining cables to carry the load.

Two years after patenting of the cable, Hallidie installed the world's first road used by coach traveling on Clay Street cable. Although his cable car did not survive, the car that fits 8 people kept Mason Street Cable Car Museum in San Francisco.

Hot Air Balloon Day- 5 June

Hot air balloon is the oldest form of flight technology used by humans. The first manned flight was on June 5 in 1783. The balloon envelope itself is used to contain the hot air, and a gondola, which means creating a ride with hot air. The hot air balloon in the casing creates a low density of cold air from outside, which is what makes the balloon rise. Hot Air Balloon Day is an annual celebration that indicates the effect of the hot air balloons flying experience.

Although it is a precious experience, you may want to celebrate the Day balloon ride balloon. While this is not ideal for those with a fear of heights or flying, but if you want, there are companies that offer hot air balloon flights and even coupons to cheapen it.
