I personally think a huge low pressure H2 fuel tank might provide
zero cost lift, so H2 might yet be more efficient than even our
wildest imaginings, so long as we use anti static plastic film tanks
and squeezable bouyancy bladders, like fish do.

I believe there was an attempt to use hydrogen fuel in a Zeppelin. The fuel
was free, since you have to vent hydrogen as you burn fuel anyway to keep from
going up. They found that hydrogen was a very poor fuel, and their 400 hp
diesel engines only produced 50 hp on hydrogen.



Much is to come in the future.
