I remember once reading a book about dragons when I was little. It tried to explain “scientifically” on how they would exist if they were real.
The excuse for the wings was that dragons were actually full of gas when they flew, making them light enough to use those little wings. Breathing fire was a way to expel gas and control their altitude.
I always liked the idea of dragons just being big balloons :)

That's still bullshit. Assuming it's methane, ~~the gas is 1.1kg/m3. Where air is 1.2kg/m3.~~ You will need a really big volume of methane, like a Zeppelin or an hot air balloon.

Those quotes were there for a reason :)
Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but according to this, methane is 0.668 kg/m3?
If I remember correctly, the author was hypothesizing that dragons would create hydrogen from water somehow. That would put it at 0.0899 kg/m3. Would that make it more feasible?

You are right I had the numbers wrong.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

the audacity to call dragons being big balloons a bullshit idea 🤣

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Let's assume it is hydrogen 0.0899 kg/m3, then there could be more lifting (dragons electrolysis water inside). Ignition is via electric sparks (same system)
