tkdguy Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 A few days ago, I looked at the Bay from my backyard and remembered the times I spent watching the Zeppelin flying above it. God, I miss those days! So I hope a bit of thread necromancy will help me feel a little better. Here's a show about airships. It's a few years old, but it has a lot of great footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik6bLSl0UyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I know that it doesn't have anything to do with REAL zeppelins but in 2004 Wheatland Press (I think) published an anthology "All Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories". Might be worth checking out for Zeppelin fans (Yes, I have a copy and no I haven't read it yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 There seem to be a lot of airship projects, but few of them seem to get off the ground, so to speak. Here's to hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Does the helium shortage mean that they will have to go back to using hydrogen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't think people would want that. Even though I can't think of any airship besides the Hindenburg that exploded. There was that Goodyear blimp that caught fire, but the fire had to come from the gondola, since the gasbag was filled with helium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Straight H2, no. But mixes of H2 and a minimum admixture of other stuff to keep the flammability down , yes. Historically that other stuff was helium, and it may still have to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Cool! They were scheduled to replace their blimps with three Zeppelin NT airships this year. Glad to see it's finally becoming a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
