Did anyone ever find out what the things are made of?   After a while,
I started to want to know out of sheer curiosity!

Dave, have you checked into this?   That's the course of action
I'd prefer.    (At some point, I'm going to ask someone.   As soon
as I find someone to ask.   What kind of comapny makes pressure
vessels?    Would I approach a boiler-maker?)

Building one's own pressure hull might certainly bring new
meaning to the term "rolling your own."
