It may be problematic. Also, diferrent shapes make need for       big structural strenght,        I am not sure how would it work out.       > Eripe - that's what I thought about steam, it just sound to good to just put       hot steam in here :v       > Thanks for the link, seems that foam can be much closer than my novel       airship gas... Damn, I really prefer flying sausages and cigars :v       > Today I am gonna check orientational specifications of my airship if it was       filled with vacuum (sounds strange) in this foam.                     How about this idea; you could fill it with photons. If you have a perfectly       reflective inner side, the pressure from the light would keep it inflated with       a vacuum inside.               Radiation P = p*c       P = 1E5 Pa * 3E8 m/s = 3E13 or 30 TW/m2.               Im not sure how to calculate how much energy must be fed in there to build       that pressure up. Say the mirror is 99,999999999 % reflective, then you have       to supply 30 W/m2 to make up for the losses at 30 TW/m2. I suppose that much       light would inflate it        then, but how long would it take?               Diz iz Zuper Nutz              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
