Refers to recent experimental use of so-called medium-weight hydrocarbon gas of approximately same specific weight as air; with this system, lifting power and load are equalized to certain extent and consumption of gas causes neither reduction of weight nor reduction of supporting power of airship, because in place of consumed gas, same quantity of air enters automatically.
