  2. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    Thus hydrogen's additional buoyancy compared to helium is: 11.8 / 10.9 ≈ 1.08, or approximately 8.0%. This calculation is at sea level at 0 °C. For higher altitudes, or higher temperatures, the amount of lift will decrease proportionally to the air density, but the ratio of the lifting capability of hydrogen to that of helium will remain the ...

  3. Aerostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerostat

    Helium is the only lifting gas which is both non-flammable and non-toxic, and it has almost as much (about 92%) lifting power as hydrogen. It was not discovered in quantity until early in the twentieth century, and for many years only the United States had enough to use in airships.

  4. Helium Act of 1925 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_Act_of_1925

    It banned the export of helium, for which the US was the only important source, thus forcing foreign airships to use hydrogen lift gas. [1] The Act empowered the United States Department of the Interior and United States Bureau of Mines with the jurisdiction for the experimentation, production , repurification, and research of the lighter than ...

  5. Helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium

    All heavier elements (including those necessary for rocky planets like the Earth, and for carbon-based or other life) have thus been created since the Big Bang in stars which were hot enough to fuse helium itself. All elements other than hydrogen and helium today account for only 2% of the mass of atomic matter in the universe.

  6. Airship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship

    Lifting gas is generally hydrogen, helium or hot air. Hydrogen gives the highest lift 1.1 kg/m 3 (0.069 lb/cu ft) and is inexpensive and easily obtained, but is highly flammable and can detonate if mixed with air.

  7. Helium production in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_production_in_the...

    Map showing helium-rich gas fields and helium processing plants in the United States, 2012. From USGS. Helium production in the United States totaled 73 million cubic meters in 2014. The US was the world's largest helium producer, providing 40 percent of world supply. In addition, the US federal government sold 30 million cubic meters from storage.
