Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. A first pipe may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to. The captured exhaust may be at least temporarily stored in an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the first pipe.

The present disclosure discloses a high-pressure gas storage and supply device. The disclosed high-pressure gas storage and supply device includes a plurality of gas storage tanks that store a high-pressure gas therein and selectively discharge the stored gas, and a gas transport pipe including tank inlet/outlet lines respectively connected to the plurality of gas storage tanks to fill the gas in the gas storage tanks or discharge the gas stored in the gas storage tanks. Thus, in the present disclosure, the gas may be filled in or discharged from the gas storage tanks by the same one tank inlet/outlet line, and thus a structure for filling or discharging the high-pressure gas can be simplified.

A compressed gas energy storage system may include an accumulator for containing a layer of compressed gas atop a layer of liquid. A gas conduit may have an upper end in communication with a gas compressor/expander subsystem and a lower end in communication with accumulator interior for conveying compressed gas into the compressed gas layer of the accumulator when in use. A shaft may have an interior for containing a quantity of a liquid and may be fluidly connectable to a liquid source/sink via a liquid supply conduit. A partition may cover may separate the accumulator interior from the shaft interior. An internal accumulator force may act on the inner surface of the partition and the liquid within the shaft may exert an external counter force on the outer surface of the partition, whereby a net force acting on the partition is less than the accumulator force.

A method for automatically opening or closing a gas barrel valve, includes: loading and aligning a gas barrel in a cabinet; separating an end cap from the gas barrel; screw-coupling a connector holder to a gas spray nozzle, from which the ends cap has been removed; winding a spring around a first shaft by enabling forward rotation of the first shaft while suppressing reverse rotation of the first shaft, which is installed in a valve handle holder so as to idle; opening a valve by enabling reverse rotation of a valve handle of the gas barrel while preventing forward rotation of the valve handle holder; and automatically closing the valve at the time of replacement of the gas barrel or when a gas leak is detected.

An energy storage assembly for a motor vehicle, including a traction battery for storing electrical energy. A flexible pressure element, which is filled with gas or liquid is disposed on the outside of the traction battery or on the inside of a covering component for the traction battery, the gas or the liquid is contained at atmospheric pressure within the flexible pressure element. A pressure sensor is connected to the flexible pressure element, and by which collision-induced pressure fluctuations in the flexible pressure element can be sensed.

To provide a safety joint that can immediately shut off a hydrogen gas flow path at the initial stage when a plug (nozzle side member) comes out of a socket (fueling apparatus side member) to prevent release of outgas. A safety joint (100, 100-1) of the present invention includes: a plug (10) with a flow path (1A) formed inside, a shutoff valve (5) of the plug (10) opens when connected to a socket (20); and the socket (20), a flow path (21A) in communication with the flow path (1A) is formed when connected to the plug (10); and when the plug (10) is disconnected from the socket (20), the flow paths (1A, 21A) of the plug (10) and the socket (20) are shut off, wherein the socket has an opening (21C) that communicates with the flow path (21A) and extends orthogonally to the flow path (21A); when the plug and the socket are connected, a protruding portion (3) of the plug is inserted into the opening; and a socket flow path blocking mechanism (30, 31) is provided to instantly close the flow path (21A) at an initial stage when the plug is disconnected from the socket.
