I've revised the cost of my generator up to $400, rounding off the  
calculated VE version. But I have firm historical sources for weight,  
somewhat firm sources for volume ("about the size of an Electrolux  
canister vacuum sweeper).

Apparently 4+4+4=16 to me. Which is why I need an editor.

I have a crew assignment list from the Hindenburg's inaugural flight,  
and made up my Bodensee list from that.

I have one source that lists the crew as 16, and the crew areas on the  
ship suggest that to me. The 12 may be normal crew, but with the  
capacity of up to 16.

I have a revised design that I'll send in a different mail, since I've  
modified it so often.
