The video airship is a lighter-than-air airship, preferably spherical, including a video display disposed with substantially all of the craft's outer surface, a nearly invisible computerized electric propulsion-control system, speakers, microphones, video cameras, communications systems, and extendible landing gear. A power generation system contained within the airship's interior supplies the energy for it's display, propulsion, flight control and other onboard devices.

A reversible garment has two overlying generally co-extensive sheet members, each having two opposite generally co-extensive surfaces, the sheet members having a plurality of corresponding edge pairs, the two edges of each pair of a subset of the edge pairs being parallel and proximate, and strips or other couplers pivotably coupling the two edges of at least one edge pair of such subset of edge pairs. This allows reversal and/or pivoting of the sheet members to expose any one of four surfaces as the outer surface.

A synchronous world clock which allows a user to determine the exact time at any location on earth is disclosed. The clock is comprised of a planisphere of the earth, a time scale surrounding the planisphere and a drive for rotating the planisphere counterclockwise relative to the time scale once every twenty-four hours in synchrony with the rotation of the earth with respect to the sun. The planisphere is a two-dimensional map of the earth which includes an accurate north polar projection of all the earth's inhabited continents. It is divided into a plurality of time zones corresponding to the earth's twenty-four standard time zones. The time zones are marked by a plurality of corresponding time zone indicators equally spaced along the circumference of the planisphere and numbered counterclockwise from 1 to 24. Coinciding with the division of the planisphere, the continents of the map are also divided into twenty-four corresponding conformal time zones which are the twenty-four standard time zones modified according to political boundaries. The time scale is graduated with a series of time marks which cooperate with the circumferential time zone indicators of the planisphere to display the time in their corresponding time zones as the planisphere is rotated relative to the time scale.
