being lighter than air, it provides the lifting power
Helium has replace hydrogen in airships
helium, mostly
Yes. Helium isn't flammable, which makes it the safer option.
Helium is used for inflating balloons and dirigible airships.
Airships are usually the shape of a oval. They look like blimps. Airships are usually filled with helium to keep them afloat.
Hydrogen (explosive), Helium (non-explosive).
Hydrogen and helium are two elements that are kinda-sorta interchangeable in airships.
Helium
The gas that helium replaced was Hydrogen
Helium is inert. Will not burn like hydrogen does so well.
helium is used to cool superconducting magnets in mri scanners as helium is lighter then air airships use them as gasses
Helium is a lighter gas than oxygen, ever seen balloons filled with helium? They rise upwards with heat due to a lesser amount of particles. If we used oxygen, the airships wouldn't get off the ground!
