ZEPPELIN TO FLY WITH
HYDROGEN AGAIN
"
Attempts To Perfect
Invention
Undeterred by the refusal of the American Government to sup ply hellam for their new dirizìbis 1Z130, the German Zeppelin Com- any intend to undertake a trial flight this month with hydrogen as
the lifting medium.
After the disaster to the Hindenburg at Lakehurst last year the company decided never again to fly with hydrogen, but it is now claimed that hydrogen has been made almost as safe as the non- inflammable, hellum, through an invention by the company's en- gineers.
די
The chief danger of hydrogen hitherto has Jain in the necessity of releasing gas at high altitudes, when its pressure increased in re-
lation to that of the atmosphere GUIDE TO THE NEWS
there was always a danger that a chance spark from 'the engines or elsewhere might ignite it.
