Smart Dust in Balloons and Blimps

Balloons and Blimps are lighter-than-air aircraft, which float in the sky. Inside the balloon compartment is a lighter-than-air gas such as helium or hydrogen. Due to the fact that hydrogen is lighter than air and the combinations of gases including oxygen in the atmosphere, the hydrogen wishes to rise and in doing so floats the balloon upward. By heating the gas inside the gas expands and fills up all the interior cavity of the balloon, simulating higher volumes.

I propose we stick smart dust inside balloons and blimps which will hold the heat temperature inside for longer and well as coating the inside of the balloon with heat reflective material which also absorbs and holds in the heat. These small smart dust particles will remain red hot for hours and as the atoms bounce off of them they will keep the gas inside warm. I propose that these smart dust particles have a certain temperature, which they will not exceed which would be about 5-8 degrees under the temperature from igniting the gas.

Additionally I propose that these particles remain on top of the balloon in a compartment which heats them and then releases them into the balloon as needed and as the fall and cool collects them at the bottom and vacuums them back to the top for heating to maintain buoyancy. I propose that this technique be used to maintain heavy loads over longer distances. Think on this.
