I see airship docking stations in every country.... Starting with the Eiffel tower.

This has all been taken away from us. Hindenburg was a created disaster to take this away.

Airships of the future tho are insane so o also future

@@rebeccaringler1265 lolwut

@@rebeccaringler1265 do you have any links for airship info?

additional Ideas to make hydrogen airships safe: use sensors that would detect a leak. Build the airship in a way leaking Hydrogen can not accumulate. Have infrastructure, that blows away leaking hydrogen. Have a double hull with N2 (or an other innert gas) in the inbetween space.

about the passenger: we don't need airships to transport those. their are better options for passengers.

I agree with you, that we need to get away from using Helium. And that it is possible, to build an airship with hydrogen, that is save. However, you should also consider H20 as lifting gas.

It's already long been built. But they don't have to tell you that.

Are you “they”?

Are you a real human being?

Ya

And it's got no shadow.

These airships existed before oil and gas fueled airplanes became the dominant aircraft following the 1940s. They were called 'zeppelins'. Can you read that word?

@@Loagun I understand what zeppelins are, I was suggesting how every modern airship company does nothing but make fancy CGIs, collect investments, then drop off the face of the Earth without ever having done anything

and there are 3 alternatives. Although I would only seriously consider 2 of them.

huh?

Why it is. The first hot air balloons were invented in the 1800s and the first airship was created 1900 if I remember correctly

Airships have been flying in the arctic for about a100 years. I think those were hydrogen airships, though, but the same principles should still apply. They already have to vary the amount of gas in the bags based on the effects of altitude on air pressure, so it should make sense for them to just be able to put more in when they are in colder temps and just vent some when it warms up.

@@asahearts1 you don't think the Vatican would lie to you ?? No they're scared of hydrogen that stuff will blow up oh look at the Hindenburg.

The guy explained they use compressed tank storage with pumps all each within their respective compartment filling and compressing/pumping back into the tanks . Helium is pricey. Nasa happens to be the biggest consumer . I'm all for hydrogen there nothing really unsafe when using precautions.

your balloons probably lost the Helium due to the material becoming more porös in the cold.

All this meeting dreams 》 american find a better airshipballoom design for him. While american allready founded every limitations of this airshipballoon.

Some idiocracy n hypocrissy frm impotent gangs in europe. Thats all

that always depends on the use case.

Which is fine as long as it doesn't crash or develop a leak. Hydrogen would certainly be extremely useful for these endeavors, but ultimately won't be used because of its reputation and track record. It's just too risky - if something goes wrong, it'll go VERY wrong.

@@kingkea3451 They could avoid cities.

​@@joaodecarvalho7012 regardless, a giant bag full of hydrogen exploding is still risky. It's unlikely they'd do that. On the plus side, we have stronger and lighter materials (e.g. carbon composites) than they had when they made airships back in the day, so we can offset some of the reduced takeoff weight that comes with switching to Helium. Helium quantities and pricing is still an issue, but if they work out fusion energy we should be good on that front too.

@@kingkea3451 I think they should give hydrogen another chance.

@@joaodecarvalho7012 They could but it's just too risky.

Do you have any info on the Lockheed Martins airships in Antarctica ?

Nothing much has been heard about the Turtle airships for the last 6 years, as far as I can see and before that 2009. All very good but it seems pretty much like a lot of hot air - pun intended ... lol

Turtle Airships is a scam...

I had a similar reaction to the compressed helium idea too. I mean, gas cylinders are heavy and how much of the gas you're compressing will be required to lift the stupid things? I can understand the desire to not waste helium, but if compressing lifting gas was a viable method it surely would have been tried before, if memory serves helium used to be far more expensive (back in the 1930s) than it is now and compressing gas into bottles is not advanced tech! Have they investigated liquefying the helium? :D

It makes you wonder how supposed scientific minds come up with this crap. Blimp Technology is out dated, impractical, unreliable and not cost effective. I stole a design concept from my twelve year old Nephew recently, its for a SkyCraft that will change air travel forever. The idea is to design a massive plane shaped like a floating cardboard box, which would be tethered to the ground in Geostationary location by 1,000,000 Gummy Bears all holding a strand of Candy Floss keeping the floating SkyCraft in place. Instead of the plane flying from one destination to another as current out dated technology dictates, the concept of SkyCraft is for the destination to come to you. This will be achieved by a world wide network of Skyway Highways connecting all the Major Capitals of the world along which the Gummy Bears would drag the floating SkyCraft as the world rotated beneath them. The reduction in Green House Gas emissions worldwide this system will generate is expected to exceed any increases caused by the necessary global uptick in Gummy Bear Production required to maintain a regular international service around the world. Passengers would board the SkyCraft at major city SkyPorts and utilising the Earths natural tendency to rotate the Gummy Bears would use the Earths spinning effect to relocate each SkyCraft from one point on the globe to another. Artificially Intelligent Gummy Bears are being developed to enhance the possibility of passengers actually arriving at their preferred destination and it is hoped to have a fully functional Gummy Bear capable of sentient thought by next Wednesday afternoon around 3 o'clock. Passengers would board at Heathrow or any other Major City and as the Earths rotation began, the Gummy Bears would run like fuck along the prepared routes until the Preferred Destination comes around.- longer legged versions of Gummy Bears are in the early stages of development which, when integrated into the system, should cut journey times by about three minutes or so. Passengers would arrive in New York without actually moving at all and disembark with no jet lag or Travel sickness whatsoever. The SkyCraft would be constructed of a material current used in the production of Sainsbury Carrier Bags and finished in a rather nice mustard yellow livery, with sort of blue lightening bolts on the front and back and big pink lettering saying SkyCraft down the side, (Nephew's drawing can be supplied to interested parties) . Each SkyCraft would be capable of carrying over 20,000 passengers, with on board amenities which would include a 1,500 acre park complete with boating lake and ice cream Vendor. There will be an all weather football pitch with facilities to accommodate live musical events for up to 1,231 people. Passengers may make use of the onboard Vehicle Servicing facilities where our skilled mechanics will service your car while you fly. The shopping Plaza will feature various Major Retail Stores and Fast Food Outlets as well as fine dining establishments. Each SkyCraft will feature three homeless vagrants who will wander freely among guests and one of those smelly beggar people you try to avoid on your way to work each day. A disco will allow passengers to dance the night away as they journey to the far flung corners of the globe. I have set up a Consortium (me and my Wife) under the umbrella of Floaty Carboard Box Gummy Bear Travel Inc and am looking for investors.
