    Abstract: A fuel oxidation system including an inlet in fluid communication with an interior of a sealed container, and the sealed container is holding permeated gas released from a pressure vessel within the sealed container. Another inlet is in fluid communication with an environment surrounding the sealed container, and the environment includes oxygen gas (O2). An oxidation module is in fluid communication with the inlet and the other inlet, and the oxidation module is combining the permeated gas received by the inlet with the oxygen gas (O2) received by the other inlet to form a preferred substance.

    Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly includes one or more pressure elements configured to store compressed gas and an end fitting that extends from an internal cavity of the one or more pressure elements. The pressure vessel assembly includes a retention component configured to sustain engagement of the end fitting with at least one of the pressure elements below a predetermined pressure threshold. The retention component includes a plug connected with the end fitting so that the end fitting does not slide through a distal opening of the one or more pressure element or an anchor connected with the end fitting and comprising arms that are configured to sustain engagement of the end fitting with the at least one of the pressure elements.

    Abstract: A compressed gas storage system that includes a pressure vessel. The pressure vessel includes a first vessel portion and a second vessel portion in fluid communication with the first vessel portion. The pressure vessel includes a third vessel portion in fluid communication with the second vessel portion. The compressed gas storage system includes a first valve positioned between the first vessel portion and the second vessel portion and a second valve positioned between the second vessel portion and the third vessel portion. The first valve allows and impedes fluid flow between the first and the second vessel portions. The second valve allows and impedes fluid flow between the second and the third vessel portions.

    Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly includes a pressure element storing compressed gas and a shell enclosing the pressure element and capture the compressed gas that permeates from the pressure element. The pressure vessel assembly includes an end fitting extending into a cavity of the pressure element and from the pressure element through the shell. The end fitting includes a stem that extends out from the shell in one direction and into the cavity of the pressure element in an opposite direction and a cap that surrounds the pressure element and the stem at a location external to the pressure element. The pressure vessel assembly includes a retention component sustaining engagement of the end fitting with at least one of the pressure element or the shell below a predetermined pressure threshold.

    Abstract: A conformable pressure vessel including pressure vessel segments defined by a cavity disposed within a liner. The pressure vessel segments receive and store a gas in a compressed state. Each of the pressure vessel segments includes a first section of the liner having a first diameter and a second section of the liner having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The conformable pressure vessel includes a reinforcement layer surrounding the liner, and an inlet in fluid communication with the cavity of the liner. The inlet receives the gas from a gas source. The conformable pressure vessel includes an outlet in fluid communication with the cavity of the liner. The outlet outputs the gas from the pressure vessel segments. The conformable pressure vessel includes a connecting tube in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The connecting tube receives the gas from the outlet.
