Patent Abstract

High pressure storing of hydrogen gas, comprises storing the hydrogen gas in glass monocapillaries, which are wound into ring coil (2), discs or cylinders. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for high-pressure storage of hydrogen gas, comprising glass monocapillaries, which are sealed on at least one end, and wound into the ring coil, where the open end of a valve (7) is arranged for the controlled supply and removal of hydrogen gas.
