Pretty cool, the following link at slashdot.org:
http://science.slashdot.org/article....23&mode=thread http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/27/1837223&mode=thread reads as follows: *from the in-this-house,-we-obey-the-laws-of-thermodynamics dept.* An anonymous reader writes /"Using the same physics principles as submarines, a new company is planning a fuelless air ship http://www.fuellessflight.com/. Recent advances in ultra light and strong materials are making this concept a practical reality http://www.machinedesign.com/ASP/viewSelectedArticle.asp?strArticleId=56635&strSite =MDSite&Screen=AEROSPACE&catId=379."/ There's no question that changes in buoyancy can be used to propel a vehicle http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/24/0438213&tid=126, but "fuelless" is going to be tricky. The original article above at slashdot references the an article from Machine Design Magazine as described below... http://www.machinedesign.com/ASP/vie...PACE&catId=379 Tim |
