Title: Innovations of John D Bennett
Introduction
John D Bennett is an accomplished inventor based in Brigham City, Utah. He is known for his innovative contributions to the field of pressure vessels, particularly in the design and functionality of composite conformable pressure vessels.
Latest Patents
One of his notable patents is for a Composite Conformable Pressure Vessel. This invention is designed to hold pressurized fluids, such as compressed natural gas (CNG). The pressure vessel consists of two end cells and zero or more interior cells, with a unique cell geometry that ensures the cells meet at tangential circular surfaces. This design reduces the tendency of adjacent cells to peel apart. Additionally, a web secured around the cells includes two sheets that are tangent to the cells. The unused volumes between the cells and the web contain wedges of foam or rubber. A valve provides fluid communication between the interior of the pressure vessel and a pressurized fluid line. Remarkably, the filled weight of this pressure vessel does not exceed that of a conventional gasoline tank occupying the same space. The design also allows for exterior recesses to engage conventional gasoline tank straps.
