Zeps are technically "better", but the framework

Hmmmm ... maybe a 'hybrid' is possible now -
a blimp, but 'stiffened' a bit with like
graphite ribs so it's not SO floppy ?

More theoretical than experimental - the materials might be

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

CRUSH. Maybe an unobtanium sphere .....

Ever seen electrical bulbs? Some are vacuum filled.
There were also electronic valves, CRT tubes...
Well, as an experiment, WEIGH the glass envelope
on those vac tubes ... then extrapolate that for
a 200-foot flying vessel.
Oh, both valves and old light-bulbs BREAK very
easily.
Modern incandescent bulbs are filled with argon.
This is better and the gas/pressure helps suppress
filament boil-off.
I know. I happen to have one vacuum bulb at hand reach, and the bottom part (the part facing the floor) is darkened by evaporated metal deposits.
Anyway, sorry, I just CAN'T see any sort of useful
and safe vacuum blimp. One goose bumps into the
thing and it will all implode in an instant.
Oh, I know that vacuum filled blimps are impossible.
Hmmm ... MAYbe there can be a 'gas' lighter than
hydrogen - some kind of exotic matter ? Perhaps
some high electrostatic charge - center electrode
and envelope both negatively charged, then the
vacuum would not SEEM to be a vacuum so far as
the structural components are concerned. Sounds
kinda sparky alas.
Force fields :-)
