Step 1: Put the helium in a blimp
Step 2: Fly around the straight and over to Taiwan
Step 3: Pump it into the chip factory
There you go, solved it.
- sieep 7mo agoZeppelins are back, baby!
- fnord77 7mo agoput the chip factory on the blimp
- jayd16 7mo agoHow do you get the blimp back?
- adamwong246 7mo agoeasy problem to solve- single use zepplins.
- 3842056935870 7mo agoHydrogen
- csullivannet 7mo agoWhat do you do with the hydrogen once you're back
- anabab 7mo agofresh water
- jonplackett 7mo agoExplode it
- xuki 7mo agoSend it to the sun to get more helium!
- naruhodo 7mo agoFill it with hydrogen and just squeeze really hard.
- badc0ffee 7mo agoFold it up and ship it.
- WJW 7mo agoShip it through the Straight of Hormuz?
- whatsupdog 7mo agoI think bigger question is, how do you bring the blimp down without dumping out helium?
- numpad0 7mo agoAirships have air bags inside. Same deals as submarines. They take in and out ambient stuff into the bags to control buoyancy.
- dotancohen 7mo agoWhat ambient stuff is available at the altitude where a zeppelin typically flies?
- Retr0id 7mo agothere is generally plenty of ambient air in the earth's atmosphere
- dotancohen 7mo agoAnd how can that ambient air be stuffed into bags to control buoyancy?
- Retr0id 7mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pump
- dotancohen 7mo agoAn air pump will not compress the air such that it becomes dense enough to overcome the buoyancy of the helium. The idea is ridiculous.
- Retr0id 7mo ago
- randomNumber7 7mo agoShoot it down with a F22.
- fuddle 7mo agoAn easy target for a drone!
- darknavi 7mo agoAt least it'd be non-flammable helium!
- xg15 7mo agoThe Hindenburg wants to know your location Edit: oh right, know your chemistry...
- oefrha 7mo agoYou do realize helium is a byproduct of LNG production and if you’re not pumping gas you’re not getting helium? It’s not a transportation issue.
- fwipsy 7mo agoYes, except for this one flaw it's a perfect plan which would have worked perfectly.
- b00ty4breakfast 7mo agoI always thought the socially inept computer enthusiast who can't detect social cues was an anachronism by this point in history but then I started visiting hackernews.
- behehebd 7mo agoBut that isn't even the issue. Drone attack on the plant that produces it. So even with the input materials. No dice for now.
- oefrha 7mo agoThat's only one part of it. Even if the plant isn't attacked, they're not gonna be pumping gas when storage is full and LNG can't be shipped out.
- hedora 7mo agoNonsense. Deploy the SLS. Use the hydrogen tanks. If the seals can hold hydrogen, helium should be easy for them. /s
- dotancohen 7mo agoIf only the SLS seals would actually hold the hydrogen!
- adverbly 7mo agoStep 1B: load up all the tanker vessels carrying the oil onto the helium blimp Two birds, one stone baby! Just hopefully it doesn't get hit by a bird or something...
- behehebd 7mo agoWhat helium?
