There's a movie called Steamboy whose premise is the creation of a device that can store steam at nearly infinite pressure

So with a device like that, you might not need coal for your flying machine =)

I feel like storing steam at nearly infinite pressure is easier than getting steam to nearly infinite pressure

That's actually covered in the movie as well! They needed to find special water to make infinitely-pressurizable steam =)

I think It's, like, a Bag of Holding, but for steam.
