Spring 2005
(If our next round of
testing goes any better) |
California Zeppelin service is funded through
a partnership between Amtrek and the Hydrogen Manufacturers Council.
"Hydrogen. It's the other gas."

Hydrogen-filled dirigibles are
back,
and Amtrek's done it! |
Not since
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin pioneered lighter-than-air ships way back in 1900 has there
been such excitement over the dirigible. Amtrek is re-launching this classic mode of
transport for the new millennium. And, we're bypassing helium in favor of
that old favorite, hydrogen. You see, at Amtrek,
we think that hydrogen deserves another chance. It's better than helium in
almost every way. And it doesn't seem fair that this fine and very efficient gas fell into disfavor
just because of that one little incident so many years ago. |
