350 to 700 bar) storage vessels are constructed using expensive high-strength carbon fiber, such as Toray T700S, in a composite matrix as an overwrap to contain the stress. An example of a possible solution is using fibers with mechanical strengths matching or exceeding the properties of aerospace quality carbon fiber (e.g.
