Chemistry: How Do Blimps Work?

In conclusion that’s why I believe that zeppelins will never be added to the 21st century.

Blimps are a source of transportation they are like a plane but they require hot air, the germans mainly used blimps, the blimp has 2 propellers on the bottom middle which can turn but it’s not that good thats why they have fins on the back of the blimp to turn. They are less sturdy than planes from their structure and material because they need to hold air so they combust often. There was a blimp in Hindenburg that killed many people when it combusted, blimps are not that safe like i said before but since they were easier to make they made them a lot so that caused many deaths back then, but the Hindenburg caused the most deaths. Blimps have their structure made out of fixed keel the outside of it is called the envelope. There has been a whole lot more blimp combustions before

During the war some Southern newspapers said that Abraham Lincoln had observed a test of the flamethrower weapon. The first recorded use of hand-held flamethrowers in combat was on February 26, 1915. In the war, if your weapon ran out of ammo or your weapon broke you would have to find one on the battlefield. The German army was the first to use chlorine gas at the battle of Ypres in 1915. Chlorine gas causes a burning feeling in your throat and chest pains. The problem with chlorine gas is that the weather must be right. If the wind is in the wrong direction it could end up killing your own troops rather than the enemy. Mustard gas was the most deadly weapon used. It was fired into the trenches in shells. It has no color and takes 12 hours to take effect. Those gases are the enemies worst nightmares. There is a game called Battlefield 1 that I play the game is based off of WW1. While playing something I saw a cool looking blimp in the air and I wanted to know about it. Apparently it’s called a Zeppelin. The Zeppelin, also known as a blimp, was an airship that was used during the early part of the war in bombing raids by the Germans. They carried machine guns and bombs. However, they were abandoned because they were easy to shoot out of the sky. I got this definition from google. Of course in WW1 they used tanks. Tanks were used for the first time in the First World War at the Battle of the Somme. They were developed to cope with the conditions on the

Hydrogen is very explosive and Since there was so much hydrogen in the hindenburg something bad happened to it on its last flight.

The product's name is Balloon Bonanza. The commercial describes the product as a faster and easier way to fill up water balloons in one preparation. Not only is there a total of forty balloons on one tube, but also is already pre-tied. The Aqua technology automatically ties the balloons before they fall off. Just in a couple seconds you will have perfect balloons sealed and ready to use. Balloon Bonanza does all the work for you; it saves time and protects you from having burns from tying every balloon. The device is supposed to be hooked up to a water hose, so the water can be channeled into separate cylinders attached to each balloon.

Even before the war, tethered observation balloons had been in use by the army in order to provide better vantage points, but this soon proved to be an insufficient source of information once the war began because the balloons were easily shot down. For this reason, commanders seeking advantage turned to aircraft. Eleven years had passed since the Wright brothers had invented and flown the first successful

Frenchman Henri Giffard constructed the first successful airship in 1852. His hydrogen-filled blimp carried a three-horsepower steam engine that turned a large propeller and flew at a speed of six miles per hour. The rigid airship, often known as the “zeppelin” after the last name of its innovator, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, was developed by the Germans in the late 19th century. Unlike French airships, the German ships had a light framework of metal girders that protected a gas-filled interior. However, like Giffard’s airship, they were

He first investigated and wrote about the properties of arsenic and provided his findings to some colleagues. The following year Cavendish experimented with the properties of heat with a focus on the solidification of liquids and the condensation of gases. From these experiments he developed specific heat tables for various elements ("Cavendish, Henry - HowStuffWorks," 2009). Then in 1766, Cavendish won the Royal Society’s Copley Medal for publishing his experiments on factitious airs. Factitious airs, such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases from fermentation and decay, generate from liquids or solids during chemical reactions. Through his extensive experiments with the properties of hydrogen, he named ‘inflammable air,’ gives him credit for the discovery of that element. Additionally, after capturing these gases in glass containers submerged in a bucket of water, he determined if the gases were combustible, water soluble and, he calculated each ones specific gravity. Cavendish determined that hydrogen was approximately eleven times lighter than common air and formed water, a compound, and nitric acid during combustion. Because of his discovery of hydrogen, it allowed Jacques Alexander Cesar Charles to fly his balloon filled with hydrogen on 27 August 1783 (Millbrooke, 2006, p. 1-9). This perpetuated the quest for manned balloon flight in the coming

Have you ever seen a modern-day zeppelin or more commonly known as airships? Probably not. Zeppelins were once very popular. People all over the world wanted to fly on them, until the well-known zeppelin called the Hindenburg went up in flames. Today, there are companies that are trying to bring back the airships that are safer for the world to use. There are many reasons that zeppelins or airships could be very popular again.

The purpose of the experiment was to see whether or not adding mass to a paper airplane would affect its hang time.

Airen (Argon)- Noble Gas. Noble gases have a full valence electron shell, which means they have no reactivity, or need to bond with other elements. It is used when an inert, or not easily reactive to other elements, atmosphere is needed. It is perfect for the character Airen in this story because is the hot dog vender and when his stand gets crushed there is hardly a reaction from

It didn’t look good for a while before the tragedy. The zeppelin was unbalanced, and the pilot was releasing ballasts of water. The ship was slowly looking for a landing spot. The public wasn’t allowed to tour the airship prior to the final flight. The pilot was anxious to land, so he made a sharp turn that overstressed the ship and allowed hydrogen to mix with air.

Helium is combined with oxygen to create a nitrogen free atmosphere for deep sea divers so that they will not suffer from a condition known as nitrogen narcosis. Liquid helium is an important cryogenic material and is used to study superconductivity and to create superconductive magnets.
