What element was once used in the Hindenberg?

Answer 1

The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas. (At the time the USA was the only country that could produce helium in the amounts required.) The Germans had considerable experience with using hydrogen and implemented necessary safety measures to preempt an accident. Prior to the Hindenburg disaster, their safety record was impressive.

Answer 2

Hydrogen.

There is some dispute as to whether and to what degree the hydrogen caused and/or contributed to the Hindenburg disaster. The paint coating the outer skin of the airship was also highly flammable, containing powdered aluminum. Powdered aluminum is a major component of solid rocket fuel.And aslo i think that when hte hydrogen leeked the skin caught on fire and thts wat caught the Hindenburg on fire that was a horrible tradgey

Answer 3

The element that was inside the Hindenburg was H (Hydrogen).
