Came across some info similar to the above......

......by passing steam through a bed of glowing coal a mixture of 50-50
carbon monoxide and hydrogen will result, both of which are lighter than
air, and both of will burn as a fuel source. Also the lifting forces of
these gases will increase when they are heated......
