Episode 24 - Dirigibles
Manage episode 330393164 series 3300315
From the retro-futurism of steampunk and dieselpunk to the dreams and fertile imaginations of the whistfully minded creatives the world over, the concept of the airship seems destined never to die. Both imposing and somehow gentle, they loom overhead and sail through the clouds like quiet whales in an areal sea.
It has become taken as common knowledge in modern society that the actual use of airships has gone the way of countless other antiquated technologies deigned too inappropriate for our current lifestyle, yet it may be that there is more benefit to be found among these forgotten beasts than we may imagine.
In this episode, we explore the curious nature of the airship. You may be surprised to find that many assumptions we all know are less than correct, and even more intrigued to find the truly remarkable possibilities that could lie within the bones of these forgotten dinosaurs.
