Claim 4:
5. A method for using the apparatus of claim 1 to create solid methane, the steps comprising:
(1) making the solid methane bed complex;
(2) opening the base of said chamber;
(3) placing the solid methane bed complex into the base of said chamber;
(4) closing the base of said chamber;
(5) creating a vacuum in the chamber by removing air from the chamber;
(6) running the coolant from the coolant cavity through the gas storage cryogenic jacket and the chamber cryogenic jacket;
(7) allowing the gaseous methane to flow from the drum into the pipe within the cooling case to make liquid methane;
(8) allowing the liquid methane to flow into the gas storage container to maintain liquid methane;
(9) allowing the liquid methane to flow into the chamber to be further cooled into cooled liquid methane,
(10) mixing the cooled liquid methane with the solid methane bed complex contained in the chamber; and
(11) removing the resulting solid methane from the chamber.
