Okay, what’s the alternative scenario and how do we ensure that doesn’t happen?
- elliottkember 5y agoRips along the seams of the fabric siding causing large surface areas of hydrogen to be mixed, I think?
- m4rtink 5y agoIIRC something about the pain used on the aerodynamic outer shell (the gas cells inside were separate gas tight balloons made from processed cattle stomach tissue (!)). This paint apparently turned out to be highly flammable and/or explosive and could be activated by dischrges of static electricity.
- ant6n 5y agoI think there was static discharge involved, and thermite paint. And of course a giant bag filled with hydrogen, surrounded by oxygen.
- max-ibel 5y agoIirc there is a great YouTube video with Bill Hammack about this. Highly recommended. https://youtu.be/ixxXhZVFXxQ https://youtu.be/ixxXhZVFXxQ He also wrote a book.
