Abstract: Devices and methods for storing hydrogen fuels or other gaseous fuels (e.g. hydrogen). One embodiment of a container (20) for storing gaseous fuels in accordance with an aspect of the invention comprises a high-pressure vessel (22) configured to contain the gas in a high-pressure zone at a pressure significantly above atmospheric pressure (e.g. 300-10,000 psi). The container (20) can also include a storing medium (40) in the vessel (22) and an inlet/outlet line (50) extending through the vessel (22). The storing medium (40) can have a plurality of storage spaces (28) configured to physically bind molecules of the gas to the storing medium (40), and the inlet/outlet line (50) can be a tube (52) extending through the vessel (22) in fluid communication with the storing medium (40). The molecules of the gaseous fuel bind to the storing medium (40), and the pressure in the vessel drives additional molecules of the fuel into vacant spaces within the storing medium . A heater (60) is used to release hydrogen from the medium (40).

Abstract translation: 用于储存氢燃料或其他气体燃料（例如氢）的装置和方法。 根据本发明的一个方面的用于储存气体燃料的容器（20）的一个实施方案包括高压容器（22），其构造成将所述气体在显着高于大气压力的压力下（例如300 -10,000 psi）。 容器（20）还可以包括在容器（22）中的存储介质（40）和延伸穿过容器（22）的入口/出口管线（50）。 存储介质（40）可以具有多个存储空间（28），其构造成将气体的分子物理地结合到存储介质（40），并且入口/出口管线（50）可以是延伸穿过的管（52） 所述容器（22）与所述存储介质（40）流体连通。 气体燃料的分子与存储介质（40）结合，并且容器中的压力驱动燃料的附加分子进入存储介质内的空闲空间。 加热器（60）用于从介质（40）释放氢。
