In 1931, a large passenger dirigible lifted with hydrogen burst into flames while landing in Lakehurst, NJ. Since then, hydrogen has been considered too dangerous to use in airships under normal conditions.
because hydrogen is a very flammable gas and can catch fire easily on an airship.
an example of this is the Hindenburg in 1937
Because Hydrogen is extremely flammable, and it is very dangerous to be used in aircraft's.
Hydrogen isn't used in blimps because it is very flammable.
Because it's considered too flammable.
They Do Not use Hydrogen gas to fill up balloons. People use Helium gas to fill up balloons (ordinary party balloons, and big working balloons such as the one used by Goodyear). Helium is Not Flammable. Hydrogen is Flammable and has as tendency to burst into Flame, similar to the German Blimp/Dirigible Hindenburg. Since the US Navy lost Two Helium Blimps in Bad weather; The Akron and the Shenandoah (with a great loss of lives), the US Navy almost never uses Blimps anymore.
No
hydrogen is used for carsHydrogen is also used for air crafts and to power buildingsAnswer # 2History tells us that Hydrogen gas was used for lifting in balloons, today they are using Nickel hydrogen in batteries.Please see related link below!
Btw
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is used to etch glass.
Hydrogen is not used in blimps any longer because it is flammable and dangerous (see: Hindenberg)
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.
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.
They are filled with helium gas. They used to be filled with hydrogen gas but that proved to be deadly at times.
Blimps use lighter than air gasses namely hydrogen or helium.
Hydrogen is higly explosive ! Remember the Hindenburg disaster.
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.
Modern blimps are used almost exclusively for advertising and/or sightseeing. Historically, blimps have also been used in military reconnaissance roles.
The replacement of hydrogen in blimps with helium is not based on the gas laws but rather on the fact that hydrogen is highly flammable whereas helium is entirely non flammable. In fact based on the gas laws hydrogen would actually be better for blimps because its has lower molecular mass and is therefore less dense than helium.

Blimps began to be used commonly during World War I, and are still in use today.
Helium is much safer, so it is often used in balloons and blimps, not spacecraft.Hydrogen is still used as a fuel. Helium will not burn.
