hi!
i had this idea to use a big zeppelin to move heavy objects from a to b.
this helium ballon ought to be able to lift an average removable house and for example heavy mining machinery. this post ought to aswell serve as a time stamp, to make this idea my intelectual property.
if other people thought the same before me, fair enough.
i think the zeppelin has to be re instated,because it can move objects for a low cost, and much faster, than a truck which needs a lot of road preparation. initial building cost might be extreemly high, but large cargo plains are very expensive too.
the idea came to me, watching those moster movers shows, and moving houses on a street, looks to me to be the worst methode (powerlines, hills, uneven terrain, high labour cost because of large stuff nummbers, fuel cost are high because gravity sucks, and so on) to do it.
i believe the zeppelin idea only died because, the yanks, would not sell any helium to the germans (and the hydrogen they used instead went boom), but i'm sure they would sell it to me.
so what to you think? feasable or not?
how big would that zeppelin have to be, how much weight could a zeppelin carry?
