Abstract
A tank for storing a pressurized gas including walls of a layered material 15 and continuous fibrous bundles of fibers (16) woven through the walls of layered material (15). The continuous fibrous bundles (16 and FIG. 8) have first ends (17) that extend over a first wall of material (15), pass through the first wall of material (15), extend through the interior of the tank (11 ), pass through another wall of the material (15) and have second ends (17) that extend over the other wall of the material (15). Other bundles of fibers (18, 20) can be woven between different walls of the tank (11) in a similar pattern to produce complex three dimensional shapes (FIGS. 3-8).
