Abstract:
An illustrative example container includes a plurality of internal support members having a surface contour that at least approximates a minimum surface. The plurality of internal support members collectively provide structural support for carrying loads on the container. The plurality of internal support members collectively establish a plurality of cavities for at least temporarily containing fluid. An outer shell is connected with at least some of the internal support members. The outer shell includes a plurality of curved surfaces. The outer shell encloses the cavities.
Abstract:
A Hydrogen storage system comprising storage elements coupled to each other to form one or more containers disposed in a space having a volume V where the volume of each of the storage elements is much smaller than the volume V resulting in the storage elements experiencing reduced stress at their inner surfaces. Thus, Hydrogen can be stored at relatively high pressure within these storage elements due to the reduced stress experienced by their inner surfaces. Consequently, materials having relatively lower tensile strength and stiffness can be used to construct the storage elements of the Hydrogen storage system. Further, the storage elements can be shaped and sized to conform to a volume of space having an arbitrary shape and dimensions.
Abstract:
A marine vessel, and a system and method of using the marine vessel, to facilitate the introduction of bulk liquid commodities, such as LNG, into the established and extensive worldwide intermodal transportation system, which is based on containerized shipments. The marine vessel is a specialized vessel, of either ship or barge form, that is capable of holding a large number of ISO-sized intermodal LNG tanks and is configured so as to have at one and the same time characteristics of both a tanker vessel (e.g., a gas carrier) and a container vessel. The intermodal LNG tanks connect to a piping system of the marine vessel and are thereby interconnected in such a manner that allows the interconnected intermodal LNG tanks to behave as if they constitute a typical LNG vessel bulk liquid tank to facilitate efficient loading at a typical marine LNG terminal.
