Is hydrogen is used to fill the bulbs?
hydrogen is not used in bulbs it is usually argon or another noble gas. e.g neon
A flammable gas once used to fill blimps?
Hydrogen is not used in blimps any longer because it is flammable and dangerous (see: Hindenberg)
What type of gas filled the Hindenburg airship?
It was hydrogen. That's why it caught fire. Modern airships use helium.
Why is hydrogen used to fill a blimp?
It is light and dense at the same time. It also burns well and when it burns it propels the basket upward.
How many electrons for hydrogen does it take to fill its outer shell?
Hydrogen can hold only 1 electron.
What gases can be used in an airship?
hydrogen and helium can be used to pprovide lift in an airship.
How much hydrogen was in the Hindenburg airship?
7,062,000 cubic feet
Weather airships and why is it dangerous to fill them with hydrogen?
As hydrogen is highly flammable, when it ignited, the airship was destroyed.
What gases are in an airship?
Helium has replace hydrogen in airships
Is hydrogen is used to fill the bulbs?
hydrogen is not used in bulbs it is usually argon or another noble gas. e.g neon
The density of hydrogen is lower than air and can be used to fill balloonswhy is helium used instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is flammable and explosive.
Why does an airship float in air?
An airship uses helium which weighs less than air, and it cancels out the weight of the airship. Hydrogen weighs even less than helium, but it is combustible, so helium is preferred for use in airships.
A flammable gas once used to fill blimps?
Hydrogen is not used in blimps any longer because it is flammable and dangerous (see: Hindenberg)
What are the uses of airship?
they are used to
Discuss what the airship was filled with and how it worked?
Airships and Zeppelins and Observation balloons were used successfully in WW1. They were filled with Hydrogen which is the lightest gas but is also explosive when ignited. (Later, airships began to use Helium) The airship flew because it was filled with a gas that was lighter than the air so that it "floated" in the sky. This is the same theory that makes boats float. For an airship to fly, the weight of the airship and the hydrogen contained it in has to be less than the weight of the Air it displaces. In other words, the Airship takes up space in the air and if it weighs less than the air, then it will fly. For it to move forward, the airship had propellors to push it forward. It also had control surfaces on the tail to turn it and help it climb or dive.
Are all airship filled with the same kind of gas?
no, not always. there's the choice of hydrogen or helium.
What was the Norge airship used for?
The Norge airship is an Italian built airship that was used to carry out the first verified trip to the North Pole. The trip was carried out in 1926 and funded by the Aero Club of Norway.
