Why? The added air has the same density of the outside air.

Interesting stuff, although I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Is

something
like this even practical?


A similar technique that's been around quite a while is an internal air

bladder
for LTA craft that use helium and hydrogen. Pump the bladder full of air,

and
the buoyancy of the craft changes.
