  2. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    Thus helium is almost twice as dense as hydrogen. The lifting power in air of hydrogen and helium can be calculated using the theory of buoyancy. The buoyancy depends upon the difference of the densities (ρ air) − (ρ gas) rather than upon their ratios. The lifting force for a volume of gas is given by the equation: F B = (ρ air - ρ gas ...

  3. Vacuum airship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airship

    Using the molar volume, the mass of 1 liter of helium (at 1 atmospheres of pressure) is found to be 0.178 g. If helium is used instead of vacuum, the lifting power of every litre is reduced by 0.178 g, so the effective lift is reduced by 13.90625%. A 1-litre volume of hydrogen has a mass of 0.090 g, reducing the effective lift by 7.03125%.

  4. Airship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship

    Lifting gas is generally hydrogen, helium or hot air. Hydrogen gives the highest lift 1.1 kg/m 3 (0.069 lb/cu ft) and is inexpensive and easily obtained, but is highly flammable and can detonate if mixed with air. Helium is completely non flammable, but gives lower performance-1.02 kg/m 3 (0.064 lb/cu ft) and is a rare element [33] and much ...

  5. Aerostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerostat

    Helikites are used by telecoms companies to lift 4G and 5G base stations for areas without cellphone coverage. Helikites range in size from 1 metre (gas volume 0.13 m 3) with a pure helium lift of 30g, up to 14 metres (gas volume 250m 3) able to lift 117 kg. Small Helikites can fly up to altitudes of 1,000 ft, and medium-sized Helikites up to ...

  6. Buoyancy compensator (aviation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator...

    A Zeppelin of the size of the LZ 129 Hindenburg on a flight from Frankfurt am Main to Lakehurst consumed approximately 54 tonnes of diesel with a buoyancy equivalent of 48,000 cubic metres of hydrogen, which amounted to about a quarter of the lifting gas used at the start of the flight (200,000 cubic metres). After the landing, the jettisoned ...

  7. Blimp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blimp

    Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e.g. Zeppelins), blimps rely on the pressure of their lifting gas (usually helium, rather than flammable hydrogen) and the strength of the envelope to maintain their shape. Blimps are known for their use in advertising, surveillance, and observation due to their maneuverability, slow speeds and steady ...
