Engine Specifications:

Hybrid propulsion system and conventional internal ballast gas balloon. Propulsion unit is powered by combustion engine via ceruleum fuel cells located in the engine room. The balloon is an altitude controller and vessel stabilizer located within the engine room at the lower deck. Internally, its comprised of aft and fore air ballonets to adjust altitude as needed from wheelhouse on deck. The balloon is inflated through a controlled 7:3 mixture of hydrogen and ceruleum. To maximum storage space, hydrogen is produced in biofuel tanks via two-stage process in single-cell green algae reproduction system, and the ceruleum is rerouted as gaseous byproduct from combustion engine.

R&D Prototype Technology

Aether-Netting

The ship has a full array of aether sensors installed around the entirety of the vessel. Powered exclusively by aether, the autonomous shielding system assesses and draws power from aether traces in the air. Certain air currents create strong flow of aether, and therefore pilots employing this technology may need to route specifically to air currents. When capable of extracting and converting enough power, the sensors create a ‘netting’ shield around the ship that acts as tough as reinforced, tempered steel. Coupled with an integrated on-board shrouding mechanism, it is nearly transparent, allowing ease of navigation and piloting.

 

Lift Stabilizers

Two dozen units are installed on the hull of the ship. Compact and lightweight, these units are comprised of connected lightning and wind crystals that are charged using a fraction of ceruleum byproduct from the engine room. The charged lightning and wind crystals are considered highly unstable during this nycleosynthesis process. The traces emitted from the two respective crystals create energy from the fusion. This potent energy creates a ‘lifting’ or aerial propulsion force. The force isn’t significant enough to maintain altitude of an entire airship for prolonged periods of time, but the units are used to stabilize an airship faster and better when changing altitude and providing a smoother ride.
