兴登堡号飞艇爆炸之迷

1. What Caused The Hindenburg Explosion

1. 兴登堡号爆炸之迷

The promise of the Hindenburg, a hydrogen-filled airship that could cross the Atlantic in half the time of a ship at sea, exploded along with the craft itself as it prepared to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey in May 1937. Of the 100 people on board that day, 35 died.

兴登堡号是一艘充满氢气的飞艇。在当时，它穿过大西洋所需的时间只是普通轮船的一半。然而，1937年5月，正当兴登堡号准备在新泽西的莱克赫斯特海军航空总站着陆时，发生了爆炸。当时，兴登堡号上有100人，35人遇难。

Scientists have debated the reason for the explosion for decades. They knew that a spark ignited leaking hydrogen, but they differed on the reason for the spark and the leaking gas. Theories included lightning, explosive properties in paint, and a bomb.

科学家们为其爆炸原因争论了几十年。他们认为，是火花引燃了泄露的氢气。但是，科学家们对火花和泄漏的氢气的原因的看法产生了分歧。可能的原因包括闪电、油漆上的易爆物质或者炸弹引发了爆炸。

However, in 2013, a team of experts ruled out the other theories and determined that the Hindenburg had become charged with static electricity from a thunderstorm. Either a faulty gas valve or broken wire caused hydrogen to leak into the ventilation shafts. A spark of static electricity ignited the hydrogen, which started the fire in the tail section and led to the explosion.

然而，在2013年，一个专家团队排除了其他可能的原因，认为兴登堡号爆炸的原因是由于大雷雨所产生的静电所致。气体阀泄漏或者线路损坏，导致了氢气进入到通风装置中。在飞艇尾翼，静电产生的火花引燃了氢气，导致爆炸。

"I think the most likely mechanism for providing the spark is electrostatic," said British aeronautical engineer Jem Stansfield. "That starts at the top, then the flames from our experiments [blowing up or setting fire to scale models of the airship] would've probably tracked down to the center. With an explosive mixture of gas, that gave the whoomph when it got to the bottom."

英国航空工程师杰姆·斯坦斯菲尔德（Jem Stansfield）表示，“我认为，产生火花最可能的原因是静电。”实验用发泡类物质制作了一个同比例飞艇模型。在实验初始阶段，火焰在飞艇的顶部燃烧，进而燃烧到了飞艇中心。混合的爆炸性气体进入到飞船底部的时候，飞船发生了剧烈爆炸。
