Reverse egg storage tank

Abstract

Imitating forms in nature can produce storage tanks of exquisite structure that can hold substances at very high pressures, but weighing very little. Examples are Euplectella Aspergillum and the chicken egg. They are marvelously created to withstand extreme pressures with an extremely thin and light structure. These pressures come from outside their structures to enter inward. Storage tanks may hold substances that exert pressures in the opposite direction, that is from the inside pushing out. To imitate the egg and aspergillum , the curves of the form would need to be reversed. This may produce a structure that instead of curving inward, as a sphere or oval shape, curves outward to present an arch against the outwardly expanding substance the tank is holding on the inside to effectively redistribute the forces. Also, the amount of curvature of the tank can vary as it curves outward and the sides can curve outward reversing the sides of an egg, or like an egg curve inward or have different angles of curvature but having at least one side, whether curved and curving inward or concave or a flat facet or side angled to project inward, thus presenting a curved or pointed arch pointed inward against the outwardly expanding substances held inside the tank. This is the opposite of an egg presenting an arch against the weight of a hen. Also, the tanks with at least one side or facet curved outward away from the interior of the tank or with facets or faceted away from the interior of the tank can have different shapes or geometries and or endpoints. Again, the purpose is to form a storage tank to efficiently hold the most amount of a substance with a minimum of weight and or space.

1 ) I claim a reversed egg shaped storage tank with concave sides that arch inward having a bow tie shape. Many storage tanks that have to do with high internal pressures loosely copy the spherical shape of an egg. However, this is a misunderstanding of God's miraculous design of an egg. Egg shells were partly created to distribute forces from the outside applied inwardly as, for example, when a mother hen sits on her eggs to hatch them. Tanks built to handle high pressure have forces that are being exerted in the opposite direction, that is from the inside out. Thus, a tank holding high pressure substances that imitates the principle of the design of an egg would actually have oppositely shaped curves. This results in and comprises a “bow tie” shape, and like an egg would present arches, whether curved or angular, to the forces being applied, and then evenly redistribute them to perfectly utilize the strength of the entire structure and so efficiently use a minimum amount of material to contain the stored substance. This is the prefered embodiment. This design is not utilized anywhere else because of the misunderstanding of the spherical shape of an egg. Other designs are cylindrical presenting flat sides with no arch shape against expanding forces and a spherical top that presents the weak inside of an arch to the expanding substances and not the top of the arch itself. 
   
   
       2 ) This claimed design for further maximum strengthening with a minimum of material used for weight savings can comprise God's wonderfull creation of  Euplectella aspergillum's  flexible glass structure of horizontal and vertical gridwork with every second resulting square having two diagonal beams, and with every third set having criscrossed beams that are thick enough to stand out of the plane, can be used. This beautiful design helps make the creature's outer very light structure almost impossible to crush.
