Abstract

Described herein is a portable storage device that stores a hydrogen fuel source. The storage device includes a bladder that contains the hydrogen fuel source and conforms to the volume of the hydrogen fuel source. A housing provides mechanical protection for the bladder. The storage device also includes a connector that interfaces with a mating connector to permit transfer of the fuel source between the bladder and a device that includes the mating connector.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A storage device for storing a hydrogen fuel source, the storage device comprising:
 a bladder configured to contain the hydrogen fuel source;   a housing having an internal cavity that includes the bladder;   a connector that interfaces with a mating connector to permit transfer of the fuel source between the bladder and a device that includes the mating connector;   a vent that allows air to enter and exit the internal cavity;   a gas permeable filter configured to intercept air entering or exiting the housing through the vent.   a mechanical shield configured to prevent a foreign object from reaching the gas permeable filter.   
     
     
         2 . A storage device for storing a hydrogen fuel source, the storage device comprising:
 a bladder configured to contain the hydrogen fuel source;   a housing having an internal cavity that includes the bladder;   a connector that interfaces with a mating connector to permit transfer of the fuel source between the bladder and a device that includes the mating connector;   a vent that allows air to enter and exit the internal cavity;   a mechanical shield configured to prevent a foreign object from reaching the vent.
