Sure it's off topic, but it's a GOOD off topic. Very interesting concept but 

probably doomed for all of the reasons lighter-than-air forever remains a 

kind of footnote in aviation.



Thanks for the post.

I don't think it's a viable way to power an airship.  Just one of those

things like screws being better in water than paddles.  



But  (I always seem to have a "but")



I think it could go a long way to turning the airships during landing,

especially in a bit of wind.   Any one on the group have any experience with

airships??
