Vacua Buoyancy Is Provided by a Vacuum Bag Comprising a Vacuum Membrane Film Wrapped Around a Three-Dimensional (3D) Frame to Displace Air, on Which 3D Graphene “Floats” a First Stack of Two-Dimensional Planer Sheets of Six-Member Carbon Atoms Within the Same 3D Space as a Second Stack of Graphene Oriented at a 90-Degree Angle

In a new airship, a Vacua Dirigible, vacuum bags displace air with a vacuum more buoyant than helium or hydrogen dirigibles. New graphite ultrathin nanomembranes made of layered graphene make vacuum bags gastight. An electric swing cycle is applied across nanomembranes to reduce air density on selected outside dirigible surfaces to gracefully control buoyancy. A vacuum bag comprises a gastight nanomembrane film wrapped around a three-dimensional (3D) frame to displace air. At rest, the partial vacuum "vacua" is air buoyant and will remain an airship. Air buoyancy is an instant on or off state controlled by reducing air density on the outside of the dirigible surface by applying electricity to surface electric swing circuits. Complete control of buoyancy, altitude, and orientation, including free fall, is provided by electrically flashing xenon from small voltage inputs within each vacuum bag surface.
