Well,
The discussion's run off into a little blimp ditch it seems; kudos to
our worthy science experts for keeping us on point concerning learning.
We are all still learning after all.
I haven't heard from you guys in a long while (2yrs?) so it comes as
a suprise to hear Reed? discussing many ideas I have also had this past
year concerning innovation and that great old American spirit of
invention. Thanks for throwing your seeds of thought into the fray. Yes
hydrogen seems much more readily available to produce in the "backyard"
(e.i. Joe Cell, Hydroxyl, are you referring to elecrtolysis?) and the
fabrication of a "lighter than air" hull using pvc and plastics. I had
mentioned to Charles Luffman long ago Trivex which maintains its tensile
strength at micro-levels, basicly bullet proof contact lenses,
literally.
And the saucer thing, well I was thinking more of a lighter than air
parafoil which would combine aerostatic and aeronautical principles in
creating lift and stability. Think of a boat upside down but with wings.
Is that what d.g. is pursuing perhaps? the sub theory? Isn't
displacement in the water similiar at least to air in that birds and
fish have found ways to do it in both? Aerodynamics or hydrodynamics
will follow similiar natural laws. It is good to know He and H are
kissing cousins when it comes to aerostatic lift. Their lift quotients
are negligably equal.
Would it not behoove us to work as a team for the benefit of all
humankind? BTW there are grants offerred by the U.S. government (40
million) if you can come up with a flying submergible. There ya go!
mini-blimp-subs....I'll look forward to hearing more. Thanks for keeping
me in the LB list serve.
