Had the Americans removed their embargo on Nazi Germany, the Hindenburg would have used Helium, and Helium would not have burned, how tragic that many deaths could have been prevented
@MrWLangers nope, the hindenburg would have burned anyway, because it was not the hydrogen that burned first, but the outer layer painted with the thermit like paint. And since thermite burns with several thousand degrees celsius it would surely have caused enough damage that also a helium lifted blimp would have crashed.
@MrWLangers Sorry didn't you read my response properly? First the paint caught fire because of the static, which was estimated with several thousand volts, the paint caught fire like tinder and because of this fire the hydrogen cells inside the Hindenburg started burning

The Hindenburg, Skin did not cause the ship to burn, But was what started the fire in combination with a spark from static electricity jumping from the frame to one of the panels. Panels that were coated with a new dope,(then), and had shrunk leaving gaps between them and the frame. This dope today is used in soled rocket fuel.

There is an episode of Secrets of the Dead that went through the entire deals with the Hindenburg crash. They even whent back to the Zepplin facility and found the exact compound that they used. I am wondering if the Mythbusters looked at that??
@Lonewolfmike yes but they ONLY listened to Addison Bain's side of the argument. He cheated by using a continuous electric current to ignite the fabric, which was very dry and old (not a remade skin, but an original Hindenburg skin). He destroyed an artifact!
The way they tested the second zeppelin, which was "filled" with hydrogen sucked. What was the point in lighting the zeppelin when it only had air inside and afterwards just turning on the hydrogen valve? It would definately not have been able to lift off in the first place. The Hindenburg zeppelin was completely filled with hydrogen when it caught fire. Nevertheless, I believe the Hindenburg zeppelin would have been blown to pieces in a split second if it had been filled with pure hydrogen.

They should have used helium in one of their tests to see how it would have burned or not.
How many people died from the fall versus died from burns or smoke inhalation and if the ship had helium in it would there have been people who died from asphyxiation?
nirvanafan is right, helium doesnt burn, because its got a full ring of valence electrons, ie, its really stable for yall who didnt take/cant remember chem.
In the second which was the most realistic they should have had some fuel and oil there as well for the "engines". Also they could have used hydrogen filled balloons to simulate the hydrogen tanks.
ok people who dont know how to make thermite....its a mixture of rust powder and aluminum powder lit by a magnesium strip and a blow torch. look it up on wiki for more info. 2500 degrees celcius!
yes, but there is nothing holding the thermite to the metal bars so it just falls away onto the floor not giving it enough contact time to melt the bars.
Their experiment was misleading. I liked the episode but they should have ignited it with an electrical spark not an open flame, in order to know whether the skin could even be ignited with a spark! Although the conditions of the day of the disaster cannot be simulated exactly, experiments suggest that the skin could not be ignited by a spark. Hydrogen can definitely be ignited with even the smallest spark.
the real reason why the hindenburg buned to smitherenes was pausibly the skin but what caused it was because a cable in the zepplin snapped and ricoched and created a spark
yes, it could be. there are relevant points in which it could be thermite. the buildings melt in minutes, mmmmh too strange, could only be thermite. there is nothing hotter than thermite, and nothing could melt down the towers so easily and fast.
plus the fact that once thermite is lit it become liquid steel about 4000 deg kelvin (probably the hottest thing man made that can get close to the heat of a sun) I wonder if idle burn =/
Dream on. If that was so why did they have to crash plane into it and why did the tower fell apart where the plane crashed. Stop listening to pseudo science from Steven who no true expert would perr review his findings and no structural engineer would agree with his half baked theory.
Hindenburg was painted with shining silver colour paint that was really inflammable, the engineers did not realise that before accident. It was just that paint that caused the fire after electric erruption when Hindenburg connected to landing tower. I have seen the document where Zeppelin familys menbers confirms that. Their engineers knew the real reason immediadely after accident but did not want to tell it publicly becouse feared NSDAP governments sanctions.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This "test" is a big joke in funny TV show. It does not achieve any kind of scientifical criterions. The modells structure is not real, only some kind of toy airship without real airships structure and engineering and testing is in some kind of industrial hall. Besides they started fire on area where the first and actually only real gas explosion was. The problem with the real accident film is that the it shows the fire after that first gas explosion becouse the cameras position/angle:)
on mythbusters, they try to REPLICATE the RL circumstances. the test they did for this particular myth was as close as possible to what really happened as they could possibly get without buying a zepplin just like the hindenburg and burning that! also, they based the test on the work done on the real hindenburg, not modern airships, so the results aren't going to be completely accurate by completely current airship standards..
exactly a quick blue flash hydrogen doesnt burn than anything else than blue and archival documents some of the engineers later tested the materials themselves and the skin burned and look at what materials the skin is made of and what rocket fuels is made of then u guys give me hands down and hydrogen burns quickly and straigt up while the hindenburg skin burned out explain that people and if u wondering how could the skin catch on fire easy there was a electrical storm earlier that day bammmmm
you have no clue what you're talking about in regards to the flame color of burning hydrogen... they show it on an earlier section of this mythbusters episode and it was definitely red-orange, not blue
if you know so much "rugbysk8er" you would know that hydrogen burns red-orange, that's on the opposite end of the color spectrum buddy. plus eye-witnesses who saw a blue glow just before the flames where seeing what is known as St. Elmo's Fire, a meterological pheomena often seen on ship masts during storms.
Thermite - highly flammable solid which can be easily made from two or three components and is usually used in underwater welding. Do not play around with - can go through metal easily.
can anyone help me i made thermite but i cant get it to light i made a homemade magnisum ribbion with a magnisum fire starter and hacksaw but it still wont ignite can anyone help

since I can't post links, google "wtc civil airplane collision" and click on the first link. then scroll to the bottom and click the link that says 'view collisiom project'. then click on the first big picture, and you'll see irrefutable proof that you are retarded. And I'm just as WASPy as you, I just haven't failed at life.
alright let's make a much more accurate comparison. Let's say I have a peanut. Your skull is much stronger than a pencil, right?
Ok if I accelerated the pencil up to mach 5 or so (very generous estimate considering the momentum of the airplane), what do you think would happen to your skull? You can fire pencils straight through 6" of plywood given enough speed.
For the record, your hundred yard dash scenario has a ridiculous amount of variability. How much of the 2x4 is planted in the ground and how much sticks out? how high does the runner hit the beam (makes the most difference). What kind of wood? does he hit it on the 4" face or the 2"?
I'm 180lb, and I could break that beam given the right conditions.
Where is the variability? Does not matter if the 2x4 is planted 1 ft, 2ft or 5ft in the ground. The result is the same. A stationary object is just that: stationary, and it will stop whatever it is hit by and it does not matter what kind of wood.
This is proof.
A 10 lb 2x4 will always stop a 180 lb runner just as a building will always stop a "massive airplane jet laden with fuel" speeding at "500 mph". The Laws of Physics can never, ever, be beaten.
It matters a lot. A ten pound beam is a certain length, given the density function. Have you ever heard of a moment arm? Or a lever? Let's assume the beam is 1lb/foot. if you buried 4ft and left 6ft in the air, and I applied a force 6' above the ground, the moment arm is 6x what it would be if I applied it 1' off the ground. Making my effective momentum 6x as much. Snapping that 2x4 would be very simple in that case
the narrator sounds like that because mythbusters is only shown on two shows, mythbusters (obviosly) and beyond tommorow and the narrator on this one is the host on beyond tommorow.
It covers all of the british isles, if scotland had a narrator of their own, english would be used to refer to the narrator. Since it's the same narrator all accross the UK, it's british.
The voice over dude on the British version has actually got a lot to his tone than most British voice overs. He's a lot like Richard Hammond with his expressions.
Methane Gas does not have a smell. Farts smell because of the hydrogen sulfide given off. They also add it to propane and other natural gases so people can smell a gas leak. Pure CH4 does not smell.
zacharyworr-- canaries were used because they are very sensitive to flamable gas, they could die if they inhale methane. and dead canaries are the first and last warning for miners to get out and duck!!! please get your facts right, stupid bastard!
"Nah, methane smells terrible and doesn't float as good."
Methane doesn't smell anything. Coal miners used to use canary birds in cages to detect it(if the bird dies or faints, you get the hell out of there NOW!).
No airship company would put heavy iron based doping onto something they are trying to get into the air. Thermite would serve no purpose on an airship envelope coating. :o§
There was no "thermite" in the dope. The Germans made the compound nearly non-flamable. There's a PDF available online that easily refutes the "incendiary paint" theory.
How absurd, to even think that the Germans, masters of technical detail, and of vast (thirty+years of zeppelin developement) would coat a ship with a paint that would ignite if struck by, say, a lightning bolt.
ummm, ooops ?

Where is the variability? Does not matter if the 2x4 is planted 1 ft, 2ft or 5ft in the ground. The result is the same. A stationary object is just that: stationary, and it will stop whatever it is hit by and it does not matter what kind of wood.
This is proof.
A 10 lb 2x4 will always stop a 180 lb runner just as a building will always stop a "massive airplane jet laden with fuel" speeding at "500 mph". The Laws of Physics can never, ever, be beaten.

It matters a lot. A ten pound beam is a certain length, given the density function. Have you ever heard of a moment arm? Or a lever? Let's assume the beam is 1lb/foot. if you buried 4ft and left 6ft in the air, and I applied a force 6' above the ground, the moment arm is 6x what it would be if I applied it 1' off the ground. Making my effective momentum 6x as much. Snapping that 2x4 would be very simple in that case

the narrator sounds like that because mythbusters is only shown on two shows, mythbusters (obviosly) and beyond tommorow and the narrator on this one is the host on beyond tommorow.

It covers all of the british isles, if scotland had a narrator of their own, english would be used to refer to the narrator. Since it's the same narrator all accross the UK, it's british.

Why do they dub over the american narrarator?
MonkeyOctober 4 years ago
Because, americans use the word "gasoline" instead of petrol, used by the british, and other words are different in britain.

The voice over dude on the British version has actually got a lot to his tone than most British voice overs. He's a lot like Richard Hammond with his expressions.

The British narrator on MythBusters is surprisingly flat toned in comparison to the American narrator.

Well, canaries weren't used to chack for methane, they detected other unsmellable gases. and Methane does have a smell, it is fairly bad.
zacharyworr 4 years ago
Methane Gas does not have a smell. Farts smell because of the hydrogen sulfide given off. They also add it to propane and other natural gases so people can smell a gas leak. Pure CH4 does not smell.
jmrdelorean 4 years ago 3
zacharyworr-- canaries were used because they are very sensitive to flamable gas, they could die if they inhale methane. and dead canaries are the first and last warning for miners to get out and duck!!! please get your facts right, stupid bastard!

"Nah, methane smells terrible and doesn't float as good."
Methane doesn't smell anything. Coal miners used to use canary birds in cages to detect it(if the bird dies or faints, you get the hell out of there NOW!).
soylentgreenb 4 years ago
Oh. Well, like most people, I associated methane with the smell of farts.
ThePsychoReturns 4 years ago
Any methane you buy nowadays has additives to make it smell horrible in order to avoid that same predicament.

The birdies was there to detect if the air ran low in the mines. not to detect methane fumes. (or so my school teatcher tells me)

No airship company would put heavy iron based doping onto something they are trying to get into the air. Thermite would serve no purpose on an airship envelope coating. :o§
digitalbroadcaster 4 years ago
There was no "thermite" in the dope. The Germans made the compound nearly non-flamable. There's a PDF available online that easily refutes the "incendiary paint" theory.
How absurd, to even think that the Germans, masters of technical detail, and of vast (thirty+years of zeppelin developement) would coat a ship with a paint that would ignite if struck by, say, a lightning bolt.
Baloney to the theory
