If we managed to make baloons holding vacuum instead of needing expensive/explosive hydrogen or helium would blimps make a comeback?
>>65621528How have you not drowned in a glass of water.
>>65621528Hydrogen and helium work literally 95% as well as vaccuum would without having to create a balloon made out of a physically impossible materialThis question could easily have been googled, which is what I did and am summarizing for you. Youre welcome.
>>65621692We're running out of helium.
What is with this zero effort negative IQ frog threads and how are they not deleted on sight?
>>65621711Thats been long debunked.Supply chain issues =/= running out of heliumRegardless, vaccuum balloons are not an alternative, as they physically cannot exist.
>>65621538Vaccum weighs less than helium or hydrogen, dumbass.
>>65621528Your balloon would need to be made of diamond.
>>65621528Balloons can already hold vacuum. You can vacuum the air right the fuck out of a balloon. And it won't float because it isn't buoyant.
>>65621528>helium balloon>perfectly save>truely dysmal volume to lift ratio>hydrogen balloon>might explode >pretty good volume to lift>vacuum balloon>implodes when punctured>needs to be build as a pressure vessleHonestly, retarded as this thread is, now I am kind of curious. Can you actually design a vacuum vessle that is light enough to actually achieve lift off?It should be possible in theory...
>>65621528Next time do the lowest effort google search possilbe and skim the wikipedia article.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airship
>>65623872So use a rigid balloon.
>>65624235Wikipedia is lame and administered by literal faggots.
>>65624308Fugg>administrated
>>65621528...what
>>65621711Just fuse hydrogen. It's not rocket surgery.
>>65621692>Hydrogen and helium work literally 95% as well as vaccuumShow math.
>>65624308Not an argument against a specific article you illiterate nigger.
>>65621711>WE HAVE A HELIUM GAP!!
>>65621747>vaccuum balloons are not an alternative, as they physically cannot exist.>vacuums cannot exist in a balloon any more than balloons can exist in a vacuumThey can, it's just classified.
>>65623638Lead would also work.>t. not pencil lead...
>>65621692>Air - 1.204kg/m3>Hydrogen - 0.0899 kg/m3 - 13.5 times lighter than air>Helium - 0.1785 kg/m3 - 6.7 times lighter than air>Vacuum - 0.00 kg/m3 - INFINITE times lighter than airTell me anon, which is greater? 13.5 or INIFNITY (Assuming structural elements can be ignored :^)
>>65624232>Can you actually design a vacuum vessle that is light enough to actually achieve lift off?>mfw a heavier-than-air balloon floats in Jupiter's atmosphere
It's easy we just need a material that is half the density of diamond while having 50% greater stiffness
>>65624536>which is greater? 13.5 or INIFNITYInfinity minus 1 will always float higher.
>>65624581Like my cock? It literally levitates in your mom's pussy.
