How did the Hindenburg explode?
The Hindenburg was filled with the element Hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. A spark ignited the hydrogen, which caused the skin of the zeppelin to burn furiously. The hydrogen fueled the inferno.
What was the Hindenburg that exploded over Lakehurst May 6 1937?
It was a dirigible- a lighter-than-air airship with a rigid frame. It was lighter than air since it was filled with hydrogen gas. Unfortunately hydrogen is also extremely flammable.
What are two differences between the good blimps of today and the airships Hindenburg?
Today's blimps are not filled with flammable hydrogen gas like Hindenburg was, but normally the non-flammable helium.
How large was the air ship Hindenburg?
The Hindenburg was 804 feet long and could go as fast as 84 miles per hour. It was originally designed to only use helium gas but on the day of the disaster, it was filled with hydrogen which is highly flammable. it exploded in flames as it was trying to land in Lakehurst, NJ on May 6, 1937.
What characteristic of hydrogen caused the Hindenburg disaster?
Although hydrogen is an explosively flammable gas, indications are that the fact that the baloon was filled with hydrogen was not really much of a factor in the Hindenburg crash. Hydrogen burns very rapidly, and because of its density, flames would travel upwards, and be very short-lived. Most of the deaths from fire have been subsequently attributed to the aluminum paint used on the balloon.
Would a balloon exploded filled with gas?
A balloon filled with hydrogen can explode.
Is the Hindenburg a blimp?
No it was not a blimp. It was a Zeppelin. A zeppelin is much bigger and is a frame work filled with a bunch of bladders when a Blimp is a single balloon filled with gas.

What is placed inside the balloon that form its shape?
The balloon is filled with a gas.
How did hydrogen make the Hindenburg rise?
The Hindenburg was a giant balloon airship filled with hydrogen gas for buoyancy.Hydrogen is the lightest of all gasses and has a mass of only half the mass of helium gas, so it worked well to lift the mass of the airship. The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, and part of the disaster was due to the hydrogen gas catching fire. Helium would not catch fire since it is an inert gas.
How can you add a gas to another gas?
I captured hydrogen through a tube in a balloon. Then, with the balloon not all the way blown up, I put some oxygen in it. When I lit the balloon with a lighted punk it exploded with more heat and force than just a balloon with hydrogen. when the two gases were in the same balloon and not exploded they were added but not combined. When they exploded they became combined. Please, do not do this unless you have an experienced lab tech helping you.
Which gas would be more suitable for the Hindenburg?
Helium was more suitable but not available in Germany before the war.
What gas filled the hindenburg?
The HIndenberg was filled with highly flamable Hydrogen.Hydrogen is lighter than air so it rises.

What gas filled the Hindenburg airship?
The HIndenberg was filled with highly flamable Hydrogen.Hydrogen is lighter than air so it rises.
If you push on the sides of a filled balloon how does the gas pressure inside the balloon change?
Calucus
If a balloon filled with an unknown gas floats in the air then what can be said about the gas in the balloon?
The gas in the balloon is lighter than air. It has a specific gravity relative to air of less tha one.
