High Pressure Hydrogen Tanks

Description
A simple mod to add a large grid and small grid hydrogen tank with almost double the capacity of vanilla tanks. Vanilla tanks are not replaced by this mod, this just adds an option for those who want to spend more to gain additional use from hydrogen.


●  Adjusted component requirements to increase base construction cost
    ◦   Both tanks require power cells and metal grids

● Increased power consumption slightly
    ◦   Small tank has 50kW constant draw
    ◦   Large tank has 1MW constant draw

●  Models and textures of block are still vanilla - construction models now fixed

●  GUI has unique icon based on vanilla icon

●  Listed in G menu under "Pressurized H2 Tank"

--UPDATE 11 May, 2019--
Fixed SBC file to use construction models correctly

The only custom asset in this mod is the GUI icon, which is just shapes laid over the Keen icon in their DDS. Everything else comes from Keen or is simple SBC edits. Redistribute, edit, alter and upload to your own workshop to your heart's content.

This mod tank is high pressure relative to the original, but it is low pressure relative to the current earth use.
The hydrogen used in the current rocket is liquid and has a density of 70 kilograms per cubic meter.
The internal volume of the 3x3x3 tank is approximately 250 cubic meters, which can be loaded with 17.5 tons of liquid hydrogen.
17.5 tons of liquid hydrogen is 196 million liters of gaseous hydrogen in the standard state.
In other words, the storage capacity of the original tank is only 2 % of that of the real world tank.
Your modified tank storage capacity is only 4 % of that of a real-world hydrogen tank.
The density of hydrogen stored in civilian hydrogen cylinders is also 13.5 kilograms per cubic meter, and the pressure inside is five times higher than that of this mod tank.
