 Jacques-Alexandre-César Charles Biography | World of Chemistry
He was the first to use hydrogen ("inflammable air") instead of hot air in an aeronautical balloon, and designed and developed almost all the essential components of a balloon so perfectly that few changes or additions have been made in the ensuing 200 years of ballooning.
Charles was born in Beaugency on November 12, 1746.
Charles' association with ballooning began when, in 1782, Joseph Montgolfier (1740-1810) discovered that hot air entering a paper bag held over an open fire made the bag rise to the ceiling.

Charles was born in Loiret and worked as a clerk at the Ministry of Finance in Paris.
In about 1787 Charles experimented with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and found that a gas expands by 1/273 of its volume at 0°C for each degree rise in temperature.

Two of the prominent french scientists, Jacques Charles and Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, made detailed measurements on how the volume of a gas was affected by the temperature of the gas.
This tube was immersed in a water bath; by changing the temperature of the water, Charles was able to change the temperature of the gas.
The pressure was held constant by adjusting the height of mercury so that the two columns of mercury had equal height, and thus the pressure was always equal to the atmospheric pressure.
