@@santiagoperez2094 I dont get your point. To fully understand mine I recommend you to read my answer on quora. When I said that if the hindenburg would not be able to keep the range it had even with zero payload (no cabins, no passengers, no bed, nothing), I am just taking into account common sense in airships operation. All the lift that is lost due 12% less buoyancy, plus the lift lost due to start with lower inflation because you can not vent helium because is expensive, not being able to counter all the weight lost of the fuel mass consumed meanwhile you are in travel or inject hydrogen into the engines to extend range and other helium drawbacks. Is not just a matter that "it would not be so rentable", it can not cross the ocean so it would not be rentable at all unless it would be used just for short range trips, but what is the point to travel on land? for that you used a car or something similar. At those times the benefic was the speed of airships vs ships. About cross winds not sure what you mean, Zeppelings (from the zeppeling brand), had a lot of experience and they was well constructed (mostly due the extra buoyancy margin you get with hydrogen that can be used for reinforcements), they were in many storms and no passenger die.

Makes me wonder, if we could make the hazards irrelevant when constructing an explosion and fire proof passenger cabin with todays materials (aerogel-coat for fireproofing, carbon fibre for the walls etc.) and adding sensors and other preventive measures. A few autonomous cargo airships are currently in operation, but I think airships have a so bad image, that they wont be re-adopted for passenger transport anytime soon. And helium is not future proof because of rising prices due to it's supply being limited.

The reason the fire started from the back was because the captain was pushing the Airship to its limits. That caused one of the control cables to snap and puncture the body of the airship. This combined with the static electricity phenomenon described in this video is what led to the spark that ignited the Hindenburg.

No, the static electricity built up between a hydrogen vent flap and the hull. Venting hydrogen was part of the docking procedure, but there was not supposed to be any static electricity. Someone must have used unsafe paint.

@denniskrenz2080 12 күн бұрын
That is a good possibility, but the theory has its errors and thats part of the mystery. The ship was already heavy in the rear (lost more hydrogen there than further forward) and had to drop more aft ballast than usual before the radical maneuvers for the urgent landing took place. So the damage must already have happened while the ship was flying over the USA and waited for the thunderstorms to pass. None of the witnesses mentioned any hard maneuvers before and also the captain was not handling the wheel, as usual (since the bridge crew operated on their own without many commands by the captain during a landing). But a snapped tensioner cable is the most likely culprit anyway. This had happened before, since these piano wires actually made the aircraft rigid and are under heavy stress during turbulence and maneuvers.
@denniskrenz2080

@@davidwuhrer6704 The hydrogen, that gets vented controlled or from overpressure valves also goes into the vent shafts and not into the hull itself. This venting is actually even a safety measure, since the venting ensured that the gas cells only contain hydrogen and no oxygen needed for a combustion. But some amount of leakage happened anyway, a zeppelin needs some airflow through its hull all the time to remove the hydrogen gathering at the top. The slower the airship travels, the harder it gets to remove all the leaked hydrogen from its hull.

I recall that a member of the Crew was trapped by the conflagration and had resigned himself to dying, when he was suddenly drenched by a veritable waterfall that came from a water ballast tank above him which fractured! The flames around him were extinguished and so he was able to safely escape! When I first read about his escape I was really happy for him, and how from facing a truly horrific death he was suddenly saved by a freak occurrence of the only possible means for his survival.

Matthew Morycinski Until we start running fusion reactors, then we’ll have heaps of helium. But weight will always be the issue with airships. Another disadvantage, they operate at levels that subject them to a lot of weather, whereas modern aircraft cruise well above the weather. They could probably use dehumidifiers to capture water. Like you, I don’t think they’d be suitable as cruise liners, but maybe some billionaire might like a private Airyacht. Great platform for viewing things like the America’s Cup, or F1 Grand Prix. I’m afraid they’re always going to be unwieldy things, close to the ground, in turbulent weather. Severe wind shear could spin one out of control, though modern vectored thrust would help mitigate this. Sorry, just rambling. Must be time for bed.

actually the Hindenburg made a round the world trip and yes Brazil too. There are photos that had been taken over Rio, visible at the Zeppelin Museum in Zeppelinheim near Frankfurt. Actually a village which was created just for all the employees at the Zeppelin company, as it was just at almost waking distance of the airport. You can look at it on google maps.

Here is a plausible hypothesis I read about. The Hindenburg may have steered too aggressively on approach which caused some structural damage that ruptured a hydrogen cell. When the mooring lines made contact with the ground it may have discharged some static electricity since everything was soaked from the rain. It would have just taken one small spark in the area with the leak to ignite.

It really is amazing when you look at how fast technology grew throughout the 20th century and compare that throughout the rest of history and so much of it came from Germany.

I don't think a static discharge would be strong enough to conduct that far. Rope is a very poor conductor, even when wet. It would require a fairly high voltage jolt to travel the length of the hemp rope. My speculation is that the ropes were dry, but served as a ground wire. The hemp ropes would've been anchored to something metal at both ends, and the ship-end would've connected to the metal frame somehow, which is far more conductive than than ship's skin. The rain in the storm(s) are probably what caused it to be positively charged inside and out. That's the thing -- just like if you were to stand on a power line, you wouldn't know there's a massive charge passing through you until you grounded yourself. The second the hemp ropes hit the ground, the charge has a pathway to the ground.

It also shows that Helium filled air ships with modern safety features like parachutes would actually be a very good idea for future travel. Also, something not mentioned...The Hindenburg gas bladders were made of animal skins glued together. Modern materials would be waaaay better at preventing leaks.

Mostly for scientific (or military) purposes, transporting mastly cargo and not people, but there are plans to use them as cheap telephone/internet stations or to transport people and cargo to areas where it would he impossible to build a conventional airfield.

It didn’t explode so much as the covering was super flammable. The ship also had fuel for the engines and that could be what burnt through to the hydrogen cells which don’t burn very dangerously compared to petroleum fuel but caused lost of lift which allowed many to escape.

He just took their money, and I think had a regret for that, and was extremely confident in the design and originally really just couldn’t figure out what it happened and why it happened because of all the risk mitigation in the many many trips that it had taken. Not helpful that I can’t remember the name of it, but it was extremely good. Excellent, EXCELLENT video here as always!!

@Zan People were gonna smoke onboard regardless of whether there was a dedicated smoking room or not. It's better to have all your smokers in a single controlled area instead of hiding in various places. It's why airline toilets still have ashtrays, the designers know people will smoke in the toilets and putting ashes in the bin is a fire hazard.

The hydrogen was not compressed. Airships such as these rely entirely on being lighter than the volume of air that they displace (same principles as a boat or submarine). Compressing hydrogen would make it denser, and completely defeat its function as a lifting gas. Not to mention pressure vessels for any substantial amount of hydrogen would be quite heavy.

If you're here to find out a more detailed reason, it's highly likely that when turning in the stormy conditions, a cable detached and hit a hydrogen storage area. This would leak the gas, explaining the dip of the Hindenburg, and leak highly flammable gas. The Hindenburg was also, you guessed it, flammable. When the Hindenburg had a conductive cable touch the ground, literally grounding the ship. You have metal jumping across gaps of air to reach the conductive cable, so you get arcs of electricity. You know, the things we use to ignite gas in barbeque lighters. I don't know for sure this happened, but I found it in a documentary and given the evidence it seems very likely.

Possibly. The most accepted theory is that it was due to electrostatic arcing in front of the top tail fin and exposed wire reinforcement ties sewn through the skin sparked. The landing had been delayed due to an electrical storm and the airship developed a difference in voltage potential between the ship and ground. The most accepted theory is the spark was triggered when the first mooring ropes were dropped and touched the ground, allowing an electrical current path to ground passing through the frayed, exposed wiring. However, the ballast water theory has never been completely ruled out as a grounding source. The problem is the conflicting eye-witness accounts and the timing of the film.

Hi Jared. A few tears ago the PBS show Nova did a episode about this. They pointed out that the Hindenburg had been painted in an aluminum oxide based paint, which is so flammable it's now used in rocket boosters. They made a good case that it was the outside paint that had burned first, them they hydrogen second. So many people surveyed because heat rises. It's an interesting point of view. Tom

I'm not convinced by the random spark hypothesis as the cause of the fire. This video alluded to the fact that the rear of the ship was low on approach, but fails to mention that this was a serious issue, causing the pilot to make several approaches and having to continually dump water ballast from the rear tanks - way more than had ever been necessary before. but all to no avail, the craft could not be brought level prior to landing. Given that it was at the back end that the fire started, one has to think it's not mere coincidence that the rear end could not be raised. The video does briefly suggest possible leakage from this area, but I feel this needed to be highlighted more.
