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.
What was used to patrol coastal waters in the United states during the 1920's and 1930's?
A dirigible airship was used to patrol coastal waters in the United States during the 1920's and 1930's.
In 1937 an airship called the Hindenburg which was filled with hydrogen gas was in the news?
In 1937, the Hindenburg, a German passenger airship, was tragically destroyed in a fire while attempting to dock in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The disaster occurred on May 6, when the highly flammable hydrogen gas used to fill the airship ignited, leading to a catastrophic explosion that killed 36 people. This event marked the end of the airship era and raised significant concerns about the safety of hydrogen as a lifting gas. The Hindenburg disaster was widely covered in the media, significantly impacting public perception of air travel.
How was powdered aluminum used on the Hindenburg airship?
Powdered aluminum was used on the Hindenburg airship primarily as a component in its outer skin coating. This aluminum powder provided a lightweight and reflective surface, which helped protect the fabric from UV damage and contributed to the airship's overall aesthetics. However, the use of aluminum also played a role in the flammability of the airship, particularly when combined with the highly flammable hydrogen gas used for lift. Ultimately, the combination of materials contributed to the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.
Why did the Hidenberg blow up?
The Hindenburg disaster occurred on May 6, 1937, when the German passenger airship caught fire while attempting to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The cause of the explosion is widely attributed to a combination of static electricity igniting the hydrogen gas used for buoyancy, although other factors like flammable materials in the airship's skin and weather conditions may have contributed. The disaster led to the end of the airship era and raised serious concerns about the safety of hydrogen-filled airships.

When to use observation self-reports?
Observation and self-reports can be used in things that allow the insertion of an opinion. An example where both would be used is during a psychological evaluation.
