A vessel for storing pressurized gas. The storage vessel may be manufactured in a variety of predetermined shapes. Plural frame members are interconnected with each other, collectively forming a lattice frame. A network of internal supports is disposed within the interior of the lattice frame, the internal supports being made of a carbon-reinforced composite material. The storage vessel has an outer shell made up of layers of carbon-reinforced composite material sheets enveloping the exterior of the lattice frame.

1. A method of making a gas storage vessel, comprising the steps of: providing a lattice frame defining a hollow carcass of the gas storage vessel, the lattice frame having a plurality of interconnected elongated lattice frame members, wherein adjacent lattice frame members define openings therebetween;infiltrating a first plurality and a second plurality of fiber reinforcing base fabric strips with a matrix resin, wherein a width of each of the first plurality of infiltrated strips is substantially greater than its thickness;affixing an end of a first infiltrated strip to one of the lattice frame members and extending the first infiltrated strip between at least two non-adjacent lattice frame members thereby disposing the first plurality of infiltrated strips within the lattice frame, the first plurality of infiltrated strips forming internal supports traversing an interior of the lattice frame, wherein at least two internal supports are in a non-parallel alignment with one another;wrapping the second plurality of infiltrated strips around exterior of the lattice frame to create an exterior shell impermeable to fluids; andcuring the first and the second pluralities of infiltrated strips at a predetermined temperature and pressure. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising disposing one or more additional layers of a predetermined material in sandwiched relationship between layers of the second plurality of infiltrated strips. 3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising integrating a valve module into the exterior shell, the valve module configured for charging and discharging the gas storage vessel. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some of the second plurality of infiltrated strips have different orientations with one another. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein an autoclave is used to cure the fiber-reinforced composite material. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least some of the first plurality of infiltrated strips are twisted or tapered. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the lattice frame is made of steel, titanium, an alloy thereof, or fiber-reinforced composite material. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the reinforcing base fabric is selected from the group consisting of carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, para-aramid synthetic fiber, aramid fiber, vinylon fiber, and polyester fiber fabrics. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the matrix resin is selected from the group consisting of epoxy resin, vinyl ester resin, polyester resin, phenolic resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyimide resin, polyetheretherketone resin, and bis-maleimide resin. 10. A method of making a gas storage vessel, comprising the steps of: providing a lattice frame having a plurality of interconnected elongated lattice frame members, wherein adjacent lattice frame members define openings therebetween, the lattice frame being hollow and partially enclosing an interior space;infiltrating a first plurality and a second plurality of fiber reinforcing base fabric strips with a matrix resin to form a fiber-reinforced composite material, wherein a width of each of the first plurality of infiltrated strips is substantially greater than its thickness;disposing the first plurality of infiltrated strips within the lattice frame by affixing an end of a first infiltrated strip to one of the lattice frame members and extending the first infiltrated strip between at least two non-adjacent lattice frame members so that the first plurality of infiltrated strips traverses the interior space of the lattice frame, each of the first plurality of infiltrated strips being supported by at least two frame members, wherein at least two of the first plurality of infiltrated strips are in a non-parallel alignment with one another;wrapping the second plurality of infiltrated strips around exterior of the lattice frame to create an exterior shell impermeable to fluids; andcuring the first and the second pluralities of infiltrated strips at a predetermined temperature and pressure. 11. The method according to claim 10, further comprising disposing one or more additional layers of a predetermined material in sandwiched relationship between layers of the second plurality of infiltrated strips. 12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising integrating a valve module into the outer shell, the valve configured for charging and discharging the gas storage vessel. 13. The method according to claim 10, wherein an autoclave is used to cure the fiber-reinforced composite material. 14. The method according to claim 10, wherein at least some of the first plurality of infiltrated strips are twisted or tapered. 15. The method according to claim 10, wherein the lattice frame is made of steel, titanium, an alloy thereof, or fiber-reinforced composite material. 16. The method according to claim 10, wherein the reinforcing base fabric is selected from the group consisting of carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, para-aramid synthetic fiber, aramid fiber, vinylon fiber, and polyester fiber fabrics. 17. The method according to claim 10, wherein the matrix resin is selected from the group consisting of epoxy resin, vinyl ester resin, polyester resin, phenolic resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyimide resin, polyetheretherketone resin, and bis-maleimide resin.
