I dont get what this has to do with conspiracy theories, HNM?

Anyways, in case someone is thinking this - that engine is nothing like a "free energy engine", it just uses a different fuel source, that of course also has to be produced by investing energy into it. Of course that energy could then be from renewable sources.

It is interesting how some of the technologies developed in the first half of the 20th century especially in Germany are having a revival nowadays. The reason IMO is that at that time, there was a need for the develeopment of renewable energy and highly efficient engines because oil and gasoline was still not as abundant as later on and especially Germany did not have much oil at all. That situation now repeats itself globally as oil prices explode, supplies are drying up and "unconventional oil" is not regarded very highly by most people, is expensive and goes against all desires to stop climate change. So technologies like letting cars run with extracts from wood (wood gasification or wood ethanol), Sterling engines and even airships are again on the table.

Niri Te - if you build your airship, take a trip to Europe for a visit, will you? I want to see that . I somehow want to build a model airship, but I have not the knowledge and capacities to build one that could actually carry a payload . The materials needed are prohibitively expensive. Lightweigt materials for a cabin and supporting structures (though that could be reduced if it really was a blimp and no zeppelin), gas tight stable lightweight weather- and tear-resistant foil and a filling of Helium... Helium is expensive and some of it is lost with time through tiny leaks and diffusion. Hydrogen is cheaper but the Hindenburg showed how that does not really work out so well (Our bathroom also still shows the signs of what happens if hydrogen from electrolysis burns with oxygen - remains of a teenage experiment of mine). But I really hope you will be able to build this, it would be awesome
