Abstract:

A high speed airship () with multiple inflatable chambers () arranged in a multiplicity of tubular clusters to enhance structural strength and to create a centrally located passenger or cargo tunnel () to increase passenger safety. A conical shaped rigid frame front cabin () attached to the front end of the airship, and a conical shape rigid frame aft cabin () attached to the aft end of the airship, designed to reduce aerodynamic drag, to achieve high speed, and to be able to land on water. Specially designed multiple sections with multiple inner tubes to increase safety. Helium recovery system to control balance and buoyancy without the loss of helium and to eliminate the use of ballast, which otherwise would reduce lifting capacity. Independently rotateable propulsion units () for rapid balance and buoyancy control in emergency and to provide high maneuverability to eliminate the need of ground crew.

Abstract:

A container seal and siphon tube outlet combination where a sealing bias is provided by a ported leaf type spring which is also oppositely reacting against and biasing closed a manually operated poppet valve. The leaf spring is generally concave circular disk with a non-circular port in the center. The port is shaped to include fingers extending axially and radially inward, tending to keep the port open. The siphon tube is also sealed by the bottle cap seal. The manual actuation is accomplish by a lever applying force to the poppet against the spring bias.
