I heard about an experimental concept that does not use a gas for lift,
but vacuum! Very fascinating!

 More theoretical than experimental - the materials might be
possible but I don't think anyone can make them yet.

   Um, no, CAN'T be made. Ever SEEN any kind of vac

   I think the trick is to cleverly combine hydrogen
