==How much steel: Estimating the ''absolute bare minimum'' required==
==How much material for the container: Estimating the ''absolute bare minimum'' required==


In physics, there is a general formula to estimate the theoretical minimum material-to-gas ratio, for ''any material'' containing ''any gas'' at high pressure.
Using physics, there is a general formula to estimate the theoretical minimum material-to-gas ratio, for ''any material'' containing ''any gas'' at high pressure.
