01- Introduction- CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A HYBRID ELECTRIC BLIMP WITH COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM Currently with the growing demand for energy, but with pespectivas of declining fossil fuels, the world turns to alternative renewable sources, mainly derived from sunlight, both in the use of wind technologies, and photovoltaic cells or tidal waves. It comes to concern for the environment, constantentemente deteriorating due to the use of energy derived from fossil sources like oil and coal. In the area of ​​air transport, where the predominant use of fossil fuels used in aircraft, there is a tendency for the world to turn to old technologies that utizam less fossil fuel and hence less polluting, airships. In this sense, I developed a conceptual design of an airship with an innovative propulsion system, combining compressed air with normal temperature with hot air, and the use of two types of gas: helium and hot air. It is a hybrid airship for several reasons: First, because it uses two kinds of gases helium and hot air. Second, because the engine has to be hybrid, conventional and electric. Also the design of the airship, as it has wings, like an airplane. Is therefore a conceptual design, drawings were made freely without calculations or detailing. Only the exposure of an idea in 3D drawings, to be examined for their viability. In addition, other innovations have been incorporated as a system of maneuverability, allowing the airship back, move forward or laterally, turning on itself horizontally. For the production of compressed air, has a main hybrid engine that captures the air through an opening on the front of the ship. The wings are located electric motors that produce hot and turbines, horizontal and vertical air. The intention is to coat the top of the plates photovoltaic flexible nature in order to produce electrical energy to power the engines, and wings at the top, to produce hot air to be mixed with air at normal temperature in the turbines. The load module, located on the underside of the ship, has four ramps that also function as complementary lower wings, which theoretically help stabilize the ship. Moreover, they have the function of fixing the airship on track. This module may have the option to passengers, like a flying bus. Images its shape can be seen in figures 1 to 4. 02-Overview of the distribution of gases in the hybrid airship (Image5-CorteGeral) Are two types of gases used in drigível: Helium and hot air. Helium gas is distributed think-and four pockets: In front, behind, above and below the body of the ship. Already warm air located in a pocket in the center of the nave. Helium always keep the amount constant, while the hot air temperature would vary according to the convenience. For example: being empty the load module, the air would have to room temperature, and when the load module, the pocket would with lighter warm air, contributing to the ship rise more easily. 03- Scheme of the main module (Image6-General Scheme) compressed air - The main system air intake located on the front of the ship (01). Inside is a chamber (05) where there are two sets of systems so as to produce the compressed air for heating the air, which feed the central pocket of warm air (02) located over the load module (03). 04- Scheme of distribution of the compressed air chamber for the wings (Image7-Scheme-General Picture1) Main motor hybrid (conventional fuel and electric) (06) follows the compressed air for the four wings (04) where there are the vertical (09) and horizontal (10) turbines. 05-General view of the distribution of compressed air and hot air (Image7-Scheme-General Picture1) schemes From the central cabin (05), the compressed air goes to the wings (04), front, and rear wings, the pipe (13). The wings (04) are other systems such as hot air to produce (08) and the other for maneuvering the ship (12). It is also lying on the vertical (09) and horizontal turbine (10) receiving the compressed air passing through another discharge through the system (11). 06- central hall of the main processing systems for air (05) - (Image8-Camara-Picture1) It is located on the front of the ship, and is divided into two parts: At the bottom are the two compressed air cylinders (6.6), and on the upper floor, hybrid electric and (6.1) engines, in addition to the system heating of air (07). Access to this cubicle is through an opening in the floor (6.9) via a cage (6.10). 6.1-The main engine of the hybrid nature (6.1) - It finds itself coupled centrifugal pump (6.2) that sucks air atravéz channel (6.3) connecting the front of the ship. The air is directed to two cylinders (6.6), sendos before last for a settlement through an auxiliary electric boma (6.4). Hence the first cylinder distributes compressed air to the two front wings, and the second to rear (6.7). 07- Heating the air that feeds the central pocket (02). (Image8-Camara-Picture2) Is located on the second floor level of the chamber. It consists of an electric pump (07
