Hydrogen, Reducing Fire “Hazard, Strongly Urged. e wrecking of the United States v dirigible, the ZR-2, over Hull, Eagland, with its heavy loss of life, emphasizes anew the danger in the use of an inflammable gas like hydro- en in balloons and the advantages | when the supply makes its use prac- ticable, according to a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society. Quoting from a communication to the society by the late G. Sherburne Rogers, the bulletin says: 15 “The qualities of helium that make | 1t so valuable for use in balloons are its lightness and its incombustibility. Helium is the lightest of the so-called inert gases. which do not combine With oxygen or any other substance and therefore cannot explode or burn. Dangers Enumerated. “Hydrogen, the gas commonly used in filling balloons, is. on the other hand, highly inflammable. Many & zreat balloon, or rigid airship. cost- ing hundreds of thousands of dollars 1o constfuct, has been destroyed by tire in a few minutes—some by light- ning, some by sparks from the motor. und others by any one of .the numer- ous aceidents that may happen even when the craft is in its hangar. “In military balloons or airships the fire hazard is, of course, greatly in- creased, a single well placed ince diary bullet being sufficient to tran: form the whole costly structure into 2 mass of flames: and in this event the fate of the crew is practically sealed. This weakness, inherent in only a potent factor in the practical failure of the German Zeppelin pro- #ram, but has always been a draw- Vack to the development of the lighter-than-air craft. 1 “With the fire hazard completely | eliminated by the use’of helium. how ever, the risks of ballooning are greatly decreased and many new pos- f the airship may be placed as close desired to the great gas bag w it fear of sparks, and by thus mak- ing the design more compact. and so reducing the wind resistance, the speed and cruising radius of the craft | may be materially increased. i Sparks Harmless With Hel n_military airships machine guns be mounted directly on the en- velope instead of being tucked away in the gondolas., as far as possible from the dangerous gas; and, on the other hand, all danger of attack with fncendiary bullets disappears. Thi 18 not simply theory; testshave been | nducted oh mode oons filled with helium, and all efforts to ex- plode them or bring them down with incendiary bullets failed. “There is always chance in a thousand that an an craft shell might explode ectly within the en- velope and it might also be possible to bring down a helium-filled balloon «$uy driving an airplane through Todily. “The only appafent disadvantage .of Fellum is the fact that it is about twice as heavy as hydrogen, 100 cubie 7eet of helium$ weighing ounces nd the same volume of hydrogen nly 9 ounces.. Both gases, however, so exceedingly light in comparison fswith air (which weighs $ pounds per 100 cubic feet) that this i{s of little practical importance, the buoyancy or lifting power of helium being 93 per cent m&or hydrogen. More- this gi¥ater wefght has jtef ompensation, for.’'hydrogen Is “sb light that it passes through the walls of the gas bag and escapes.at a far more rapid rate than helium.” Helium Discovered on the Sun. By means of the spectroscope, the bulletin points out, helium was dis- overed on the sun in 1868. It was ot until 1895, however, that it was own to exist on the earth, and it was then believed to be a very rare ~lement.
