I wonder what would happen if they used heated helium?

The MythBusters had a great show on the Hindenburg and possible production of thermite in the coating.
Which at some other less litigious time might encourage the re-evaluation of hydrogen blimps. With new materials for the cells and possible mixtures with modern retardents it might be a low energy (warming) mode of transportation.
