| 42 | Gas Barrier Material with Atomic Sheet | US14045368 | 2013-10-03 | US20160046795A1 | 2016-02-18 | Steven Edward Bullock; Jaime Ballester |
| A gas barrier material includes an atomic sheet, such as graphene and/or an analog of graphene. The gas barrier material can be arranged as part of a component, such as a container or other vessel, to limit the flow or permeation of gas through the component. Where the component is a container or part of a container, the gas barrier material may be formulated and arranged to limit or prevent gas ingress or egress with respect to the internal volume of the container. The atomic sheet offers improved gas barrier properties compared to traditional polymeric barrier materials and is particularly useful in applications where it is desired to limit permeation of small gas molecules such as helium, such as airships or other lighter than air vehicles. | ||||||

| 56 | Gas balloon having floating height control ability | US10613045 | 2003-07-07 | US20050009439A1 | 2005-01-13 | Byung-Ock Ahn |
| The present invention relates to a gas balloon with floating height control ability, more particularly, a gas balloon 1 capable of floating in air by static buoyancy of gas, comprising balloon member 2 and weight control member 4 of the balloon; wherein the balloon member 2 comprises reinforcement coating layer 6, silver coating layer 7 and outer surface fabric cloth 8 while said handle part 2a has magnetic plate 3 therein to control the weight of the balloon 1, having large and small piece 5, 5a.

| An airship has a generally spherical shape and has an internal envelope for containing a lifting gas such as Helium or Hydrogen. The airship has a propulsion and control system that permits it to be flown to a desired loitering location, and to be maintained in that location for a period of time. In one embodiment the airship may achieve neutral buoyancy when the internal envelope is as little as 7% fall of lifting gas, and may have a service ceiling of about 60,000 ft. The airship has an equipment module that can include either communications equipment, or monitoring equipment, or both. The airship can be remotely controlled from a ground station. The airship has a solar cell array and electric motors of the propulsion and control system are driven by power obtained from the array. The airship also has an auxiliary power unit that can be used to drive the electric motors. The airship can have a pusher propeller that assists in driving the airship and also moves the point of flow separation of the spherical airship further aft. In one embodiment the airship can be refuelled at altitude to permit extended loitering. | ||||||
