The storm also sent water from the Hudson River pouring into the unfinished World Trade Center site a factor that led FEMA to include the area around the complex in the zone considered likely to flood at least once a century.
Airships demonstrate a law of increasing returns: doubling the length increases the surface area (and hence weight) by a factor of four while the volume (and hence lifting capacity) goes up by a factor of eight.
Essentially a network of tiny wires, it features a larger surface area than flat electrodes, giving it the leverage it needs to convert more electricity in a smaller form factor.
