Methods and manufactures disclosed herein generally relate to a cannular composite (ITC) structure composed of multiple layers of sealing, reinforcement, sensing, protection, and interspatial injected materials.

The invention relates to a pressurized fluid storage and dispensing assembly (1) for a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of pressurized fluid reservoirs (3), each reservoir (3) comprising a first end piece (13) provided with at least one fluid passage duct configured for dispensing fluid from the reservoir (3) and for filling the reservoir (3), a use collector duct (5) which comprises an opening (19) for supplying and/or dispensing fluid and a plurality of orifices, each orifice being configured to be fluidically connected to a reservoir (3) via its fluid passage duct, and an electrically operated valve (7) which is arranged at one end of the use collector duct (5) and selectively closes or opens the fluid passage through the opening (19).

The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a storage and dispensing assembly (1).

Systems and methods for storing materials, such as cryogenic materials, with inner and outer vessels of a storage tank that mutually support each other. An inner vessel may also have a webbing, such as a rope lattice, that provides additional support for the storage tank.

A module includes a first member that is a battery or a gas tank in which pressure fluctuation happens along one axis direction, a pair of second members, the second members being arranged on end portions of the first member in the one axis direction, respectively, and a binding member binding the first member and the second members while pressurizing them. The binding member is formed as fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) containing fiber and resin is revolved. The FRP includes a base fiber layer with a fiber direction along a revolution direction, and a reinforcing fiber layer with a fiber direction different from that of the base fiber layer. The reinforcing fiber layer has a non-overlapping portion between both end portions in a revolved state. The non-overlapping portion is positioned in a region facing the first member.

Provided is an X-beam structure including: a plurality of beams extending in X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions and formed in a lattice pattern and a plurality of cross intersections at which an X-axis beam, a Y-axis beam, and a Z-axis beam meet one another, wherein in the X-beam structure in which a cross section of each beam has the geometry of a right-angled X, and the beam intersections are formed with one continuous beam and the two other joining beams are attached and welded onto the continuous beam.

An orientation independent delivery device. The delivery device includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.

In order to enlarge a tank volume of a hydrogen powered aircraft, an aircraft tank for storing cryogenic H.sub.2 is configured as a non-circular dorsal tank. The aircraft tank may be configured as a conformal fuel tank fitted to an outer contour of an aircraft fuselage. Further, an aircraft is provided with such an aircraft tank.

An array of pressure vessels for storage of a compressed gas includes at least one Type 4 pressure vessel and at least one Type 1 pressure vessel. The Type 1 pressure vessel is in fluid communication with the at least one Type 4 pressure vessel. A metal wall of the at least one Type 1 pressure vessel has a Type 1 thermal conductance that is greater than a Type 4 thermal conductance of the at least one Type 4 pressure vessel.

For improving storage of hydrogen in a vehicle, a hydrogen tank assembly is provided for a vehicle. The hydrogen tank assembly includes an inner tank wall defining a hydrogen tank volume configured for storing liquid hydrogen; and an outer hydrogen collector defining, together with the inner tank wall, at least one cavity outside of the hydrogen tank volume and including at least one hydrogen outlet for leading gaseous hydrogen which leaks from the hydrogen tank through the inner tank wall into the at least one cavity to a hydrogen storage or a hydrogen consumer.
