@SGD2718 it does not escape very much at all. They add helium approximately every 9 months. We did purify it as moisture grew inside the envelope which causes the ship to get heavier and heavier.
@@sai63836 True but that's not a huge factor. The actual factors are the electricity, buoyancy regulator (which releases Helium to adjust altitude and land), maintenance, crew(it's difficult to find one, so they are paid a lot), etc..

@@incognit01233 Also, Aircraft disasters have been much worse and both these technologies were in their very early stage, it's just that the Airships were the big player back then and so the aircraft failures didn't get much attention to the point that lawmakers would literally nerf it to ground.
@@jorgecastellanos4156 Except, it did. It got way too much media attention and the govt(being a reactionary institution) immediately banned most airships by banning hydrogen use for airships.
It's not that, this guy didn't explain things correctly.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information about the exact number of blimps in the world, as it can change over time. The number of blimps in operation is influenced by various factors, including technological advancements, economic considerations, and specific use cases. Blimps, or non-rigid airships, have been used for various purposes, such as advertising, surveillance, and as passenger airships. The decline in the use of traditional blimps can be attributed to several factors: 1. **Technological Advancements:** The development of more advanced and versatile aircraft, such as helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes, has reduced the demand for blimps in certain roles. 2. **Safety Concerns:** Historical incidents involving airships, such as the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, raised safety concerns and impacted the public perception of blimps. 3. **Operating Costs:** Blimps can be expensive to operate and maintain compared to other types of aircraft. This has limited their adoption, especially in commercial applications. 4. **Limited Payload Capacity:** Blimps typically have lower payload capacities compared to other aircraft, making them less suitable for certain applications. 5. **Weather Limitations:** Blimps are more susceptible to weather conditions than some other aircraft, which can limit their operational flexibility. It's worth noting that there are still companies and organizations that use blimps for specific purposes, such as aerial advertising, surveillance, and broadcasting. Advances in technology, materials, and design may impact the future use and popularity of blimps in various industries. For the most up-to-date information on the number of blimps in the world and their current applications, you may want to check recent sources or industry reports.
The reason for the lack of blimps/airships is because of their lack of versatility in war compared to convential planes as they were well-documented of futility to withstand or evade catapulted rocks scatter, or outrun the Rumbling (an almost-complete genocide attack lead by the neo-fascist war extremist, Eren Yeager, that aimed to eradicate all of humanity outside of Paradis island. The results of the attack shrunk humanity to 20% of its overall inhabitants). Humanity quickly disbanded the wide-scale commercialisation of blimps in fear of an attack similar to the scale of the Rumbling.
@@jgrab1 Not hiddenburg it's hindenburg. It is a zeppelin airship. Made by Nazi Germany. It used Helium to float but only USA made Helium that time. And America refused to sell Helium to Germany. So they used Hydrogen instead of Helium. And Hydrogen is a flammable gas.
@@jgrab1 It's an airship from the 3rd reich Germany which is the most biggest aircraft had ever made, it uses hydrogen gas to float to the skies and got on fire when docking to New Jersey airship Airport. I prefer a helium airship as its safer and non flammable
Using helium is expensive but if the US didn’t ban hydrogen ( The original fuel used to power blimps ) for being “Flammable “ yet everything we use for transportation is flammable or worse, which is also very inexpensive & easily obtainable, blimps would be massively abundant & common. Blimps should be normal & greatly used but it’s too cheap & easy to make which isn’t profitable for big corporations. They can’t make enough money making you reliable on them
Yep, plus they’re driving up the cost of helium like they did with gold/diamonds/oil which are all abundant natural resources that Mother Nature consistently produces. Large corporations cashing in on things that are unlimited resources, making everyone believe they’re running out and rare. Insanity
Blah blah blah. Always the evil greedy corporations enslaving the people. There’s a big difference between the way gasoline burns in an auto accident and what happened with the Hindenburg. The entire ship was consumed in flame in roughly 30 seconds. THIRTY SECONDS. That means that everyone on board was dead in under one minute. Before it even hit the ground. There ARE better ways to fuel airships these days (and they should and are being brought back) but hydrogen is still complete and totally off the table. Go ahead and put hydrogen in your car or to heat your home if you wanna stick it to the man.

Expensive for a reason too. It's where they can go ... where most cant.
I'm slow lol.......why are blimps so expensive to build? It's literally just a big balloon you fill with helium no?
@@Scooby1984 More importantly than cost , is the view and the accessibility it affords.
I haven’t seen blimps since the 2000s
Just seen one fly over Houston Tx
Michigan has one flying around during college football season lol
i just saw one a couple of days ago in la
Sports stadiums as adverts
I see it almost every wk here in Carson CA
$100,000 OF HELIUM FOR ONE TRIP?🤣 Do you think they expel it all then refill it after each trip?🤣🤣
They do? Do you not know that helium doesn’t work after a while?
It’s not that helium expires, it’s that it escapes. Helium doesn’t just get heavier and less buoyant after a while
@@SGD2718exactly, if that were the case it would never have been able to be extracted from gas pockets deep within the earth
I use to work for Goodyear Blimp. They never expell it.
@SGD2718 it does not escape very much at all. They add helium approximately every 9 months. We did purify it as moisture grew inside the envelope which causes the ship to get heavier and heavier.
Source: trust me bro
What did the battery tell chip?
Nah bro his source is the first link on google , he literally read it word for word.
Fym it's literally true
Um, they don't deflate and refill the fucking thing every time they land. There's no way 100k is accurate
@Whistle Pig After years.
The helium slowly leaks, the molecules are so small they phase through the solid material
@@sai63836
True but that's not a huge factor. The actual factors are the electricity, buoyancy regulator (which releases Helium to adjust altitude and land), maintenance, crew(it's difficult to find one, so they are paid a lot), etc..

I live right by a tiny airport in Texas an I used to see these things all the timr
WW1 Cannons: AIRSHIP IN THE SKY!
Biggest factor is that Helium is a finite resource. We cannot make Helium.
There’s no shot there’s only 25 blimps left in the world
It’s because of the 1937 zeppelin disaster, the Hindenburg. After that, people didn’t feel safe traveling on zeppelins and blimps. That’s why :/
@@FrankSinatrqEver since Final Fantasy popped off, and steampunk became a thing.
I seriously doubt people would or want to fly in an airship

Trump says Rosie O Doneld is one, so that’s 26. He also said the ladies of the View produce so much hot gas in one episode it could fill the blimp up.
I used to see these all of the time in Dallas. That was around 8 years ago though. Rarely seen them sense
I looooovveeee bllliiiiimmpppss I’ll 3d build one and name it Shane
Thats sounds like a lot but compared to the cost of planes without subsidies
Its far cheaper
Blimps look like spaceships. Epic.
Today at school I saw a blimp.
Never relized there was only 25
Hindenburg is the reason
It used hydrogen and a simple crash won't end something
Hindenburg was clear sabotage.
Lastly 99.9% of the people looking at this never even heard of the Hindenburg nor even cares.
@@jorgecastellanos4156
Except, it did. It got way too much media attention and the govt(being a reactionary institution) immediately banned most airships by banning hydrogen use for airships.
Nah bro these were so fun to look at for me I would always tell my dad or my mom that there was one in the air
I worked for Goodyear Blimp Carson California for 8 years. Was a great experience.
Does helium degread or something?
Helium has a tendency to leak from whatever container its in over timer. Plus it is also a non renewable gas
100,000 dollars per trip... And every 1000 trips after too
It's not that, this guy didn't explain things correctly.
The actual reasons are:
1) Salaries of crew(obviously, there aren't many people who know how to ride this and so they are paid a lot)
2) Repair(since there are so few, the repair is expensive)
3) Helium release (Helium is released to control altitude)
4) Helium is extremely expensive
5) Leakage
Hydrogen, although deadly, is practically free. You can extract it from water.
That's not free tho
He is not talking about price, he’s talking about how it’s common
There is a blimp flying over NYC RN!
The Zeppelin:im a waste of helium and my very venerable 💀.
No one can stop the German blimp in the 30s
I seen one in Augusta ga a few weeks qgo

How.about Hindenburg?
Who gave you that number?
He owns one

I saw one today actually
Probably because people use they are used as speed run strategies *Davey*

I mean, there is hydrogen, but everyone's like: ooh no it'll blow up! l:(
Even know that is, I still saw a blimp😊
