Has helium ever been used in blimps?
Yes, helium has been used in blimps as a lifting gas. Helium is less dense than air, which allows it to provide buoyancy and help the blimps stay afloat. However, today, most blimps use a combination of helium for lift and air for control and propulsion.
Is lithium in blimps?
No, blimps do not contain lithium. All blimps in current service use helium
What is the noble lightweight element used by goodyear?
Goodyear is well known for its blimps. In order for these blimps to float, they contain a lighter than air gas. Hydrogen is to dangerous for this purpose, so helium is used. Thus, helium is the noble gas used by Goodyear.
Do they still use helium in blimps?
Yes they do, as helium is lighter than air and blimps will float.
How do blimps work?
Blimps are filled with Helium which is lighter than air thus causing the blimp to rise like a hot air balloon. Hydrogen used to be used, however Hydrogen is highly flamable resulting in so major accidents.
What are blimps used for?
Modern blimps are used almost exclusively for advertising and/or sightseeing. Historically, blimps have also been used in military reconnaissance roles.

How can blimps of use in scientific studies in the air?
Blimps are used to studie air pollution.
A flammable gas once used to fill blimps?
Hydrogen is not used in blimps any longer because it is flammable and dangerous (see: Hindenberg)
Can blimps be used for goods transportation?
yes
Why were Blimps used in the invasion of Normandy?
The blimps were being used for aerial defenses. They were litterally an obstruction to flying planes trying to attack the landing army.

What gas law is used in flying blimps?
Boyle's Law is used in flying blimps, as it describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. By controlling the pressure of the gas inside the blimp, pilots can adjust the volume and thus control the buoyancy of the blimp.
Is lithium in blimps?
No, blimps do not contain lithium. All blimps in current service use helium
What gas is used in blimps today and why?
To my knowledge helium is the only practical lift element for blimps. Hydrogen actually works better than helium, and it is cheaper, but it is highly combustible and not used anymore.
How are zeppelins used today?
Are now known as blimps, they are more used for advertising purposes.
Can blimps go to the moon?
No. Blimps require atmosphere.
