Blitzkrieg

I'm not currently building it,so there is not danger currently present... yet and 20,000 psi would just be the most 'efficient' in terms of size for the type of element that it is being used in accordance with. It could operate with lower pressures but the lower the pressure the larger it would be and more materials would have to be used, not only making it heavier but making it so it occupies more space. I have thought of a design around that is A LOT more complicated but still functions the same and does operate at a much lower pressure, but would take much more time to build. and probably result in higher manufacturing costs. Sorry for the lack of information I am giving, this project is kind of secret to me and I feel like I've already given too much information. Does anyone know of the highest PSI pressure vessel ever created for curiosities sake? I read the link you posted endy0816 and in the history part it does make it appear that even making a 10,000 psi vessel is a bit too dangerous. I guess I will ultimately have to do the design around, mathematically it would run more smoothly anyways. Thanks guys. @enthalpy Thanks for the additional information as well, you posted while i was writing this. It seems my design around is most necessary.

Hello everyone, I am doing research in an attempt to build something that I had thought of. And one of the things that is troubling me is the pressures the system is going to have to endure. The operating pressures are around 10,000 psi but if it is shut down pressures will accumulate to slightly over 20,000 psi and it should be able to do this safetly. The only problem is I can't find any information on air tanks that have operating pressures of over 6,000 psi. I've concluded that I will most likely have to build the "containers" myself. But I still often ask myself is 20,000 psi too much to handle? I want this thing to be able to last a long time, but with moving mechanical parts and that much pressure pushing on everything from the inside is that even possible? I'd like your thoughts and oppinions if you were trying to accomplish the same feat. I was thinking of tig welding thick high strength steel together, and just hoping it will hold together. But I don't think I really want this thing blowing up in my face when I put it into action. I don't think safety glasses or a face shield will protect you from that. Lol Thanks everyone Blitz
