YouTube footage of what a solar airship looks like when you obey the instructions and wait for better weather conditions … !

Click on the picture to see Airship Versus Rocket, a short short film, editied down from footage of our scientific experiment conducted in Port Meadow last weekend. This was recorded on my pocket camera (Fujifilm Finepix Z2 Zoom), which will happily record VGA-sized video for 12-13 minutes. The edited version is a hopefully less tedious 2:49.

Thanks to Dad & Josie, who gave me the airship for my birthday. Hope you’re not too horrified by the terrible things we did to it!

tinyjo has a clip taken from a different angle.
