I know someone who managed to make gas filled shocks years ago, he never opened them up either to show mw how it was done.

Was the gas 80% nitrogen 20% oxygen?
Upside down shocks will also add significantly to unsprung weight which is not generally a desirable thing, will make the car a lot less responsive.
