THERMOBALANCED DIRIGIBLE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B64B1/06 B64B1/62 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aeronautics. Dirigible contains rigid shell filled with helium, cruise engine-propeller, gondola, solar batteries on top heat-conducting shell which is from below separated by elastic heat-conducting baffle from bottom soft elastic shell filled with heated air at atmospheric pressure. Lifting force creation system includes top shell, receiver-heat exchanger, thermal pump, compressor and gas-expansion machine which form closed circuit. The receiver-heat exchanger is located inside bottom shell. Common shaft of compressor, gas-expansion machine and power drive is connected with outer propeller of cruise engine-propeller via clutch coupling. Power drive is made as combined motor-generating unit or radiative-magnetic engine which has ferromagnetic rotor shaft connected with common shaft of compressor, gas-expansion machine and clutch coupling and stator thermally connected with cooling radiator.

EFFECT: higher speed of lifting force creation system.
