My physics intuition always cringes when seeing obviously too small balloons for obviosuly too large and heavy airships, even fi they’re pretty. A Helium based airship might lift 300 grams per cubic meter, so, volume escalates wildly. The only advantage is that since buoyancy depends upon enclosing a volume with a surface, in the fight between higher volume for higher buoyancy and higher mass to hold that volume, volume wins, and the larger an airship is, the more efficient it is -exactly the opposite of flying machines heavier than air.
On the other hand, larger airships also are more sensitive to wind and their inertia is also large, so they’re very clumsy generally speaking… it’s a tricky thing to balance performance. And not the least, hydrogen is the optimal lift gas, but it’s got a moslty undeserved bad reputation, forcing to use heavier and way, way, way more expensive Helium.

That one is filled with Buoancium, gas made out of baloons cooked with feathers and then extract vaporized by electrolysis with energy from rubbing woolly socks on smooth, bald heads of very light-headed people.

I have an old house. So running new wires anywhere is a huge task. But I have succeeded. Just had to will it into existence.

The land is moving constantly, earth changing shape, if we could see our planet back in time, it looked nothing like what we see today. In future it will look very diferently also.

I know. One day, in several hundred million years, we’ll probably have Pangaea again.
