  • Logo Maybach-Motorenbau
    La storia del logo Maybach-Motorenbau Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH Nazione Germania Tipologia GmbH Division of Daimler AG Fondazione 1909 Fondata da Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin Karl Maybach Sede principale Friedrichshafen Prodotti autovetture Sito web http://www.maybach-manufaktur.com La Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH è un'azienda meccanica tedesca, produttrice di automobili di lusso e in passato di motori per dirigibili e carri armati, nonché di automobili e rotabili ferroviari. Dal 2002 la ragione sociale è mutata in Maybach-Motorenbau. Le origini di quello che in seguito sarebbe stato considerato il più rappresentativo costruttore di motori per dirigibili (ed in seguito uno dei più rappresentativi nel campo della auto di lusso), per ironia della sorte, ebbe inizio da uno spaventoso incidente occorso ad un dirigibile. Costruire dirigibili, infatti, non era una novità assoluta: già negli ultimi anni del XIX secolo, il conte Ferdinand von Zeppelin cominciò ad occuparsi di dirigibili, cercando di studiare dei metodi per risolvere alcuni problemi, tra cui quello della direzionalità degli aerostati. Nel 1898 riuscì ad ottenere un brevetto con cui proteggere in maniera retroattiva un suo progetto risalente a tre anni prima: nel 1899 cominciò la costruzione di un dirigibile rigido (lo Zeppelin LZ 1) con cui avrebbe compiuto i primi giri di prova l'anno seguente. I motori utilizzati erano costruiti dalla Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, che di lì a pochissimo sarebbe rimasta orfana del suo fondatore, Gottlieb Daimler. Il suo più fido collaboratore, Wilhelm Maybach, era il principale artefice dei motori che la DMG applicava in praticamente tutti i campi, dalle automobili alle imbarcazioni e fino agli aerostati.

  • How Can Network Effects Explain the Failure of Airship-Technology?
    Lighter-than-air vs. Heavier-than-air: How Can Network Effects Explain the Failure of Airship-Technology? ∗ Helmut Braun Abstract: Airships run the first commercial but rudimentary air transportation services. The airplane conquered this business more and more in the course of time. As the main reason for this development the paper identifies a much more rapid growing net of airfields affiliated with a service network for airplanes in comparison to airships. Huge rigid airships needed a different net with more expensive equipment and therefore this net grew much slower along with the affiliated service network. Thus, airplane networks surpassed a critical mass of net-building much earlier and displaced the airship in spite of the fact that in civil areas it was technologically advantageous. Keywords Airship lines, airplane lines, critical mass, growth of networks. 1 Outline of the problem When German rigid airship LZ 129 Hindenburg exploded over U.S. Airship Base Lakehurst, New Jersey, on 6 May 1937 the sole operating commercial airship transportation service was abandoned totally (Bauer and Duggan 1999; de Syon 2002). This accident marked the end of the commercial airship era. This development appeared in outlines for a long period of time and was ignored by the main actors in this field. Usually the modern economic theory of the struggle between competing technologies and net effects is a useful tool to analyze this question. Therefore, any appreciable attempt to build a net or network by establishing operating bases and service routes in the United States, in Germany, and in intercontinental traveling both by airships and by air-planes had to be reconstructed.

  • Balloons and Airships.Pdf
    BALLOONS AND AIRSHIPS A talk by Mr. R. A. Rostron Prepared for printing by Mr John Cardona (Given to the members of the Malta Philatelic Society on 1st December, 2010) This is a follow-up to my earlier talk titled "Early Powered Flight" given to the members ofthe Malta Philatelic Society on 3'ct November, 2010. My interest in the subject of "flight" came from making model aeroplanes as a schoolboy. To embrace the subject comprehensively, it is necessary to include balloons and airships, and there is an overlap with "powered flight", particularly with regard to Airships. General factors that restricted development and progress were:­ the difficulty in steering, the sheer size of the airbags, the nature of the "lighter than air" gases required; the limitations of engine designs, and the major influence I uncertainty of winds and the mooring problems. Much has been written on the subject but perhaps not so often with interpretations of a philatelic nature. BALLOONS I intend to ignore the Chinese developments and concentrate on European progress. Once more, as in Powered Flight, the French were in the forefront, with people like Montgolfier. The first couple of pictures are taken from literature to "set the scene". They include an explanation of how hydrogen was made (Fig 1) and the Montgolfier balloon (Fig 2). Fig 1 - How hydrogen was made. Hydrogen was far lighter and, though inherently volatile, relatively safer than hot air, which required an open fire. Nevertheless it had two drawbacks as a lifting agent for early balloons. It was expensive to produce and the process was tediously time consuming.
