Method and apparatus for generating oxygen
A method and apparatus are provided for generating Oxygen. Water-soluble chemicals are mixed in water, and the result is medically pure Oxygen. The water-soluble chemicals have long shelf-lives and are non-toxic, not an environmental hazard, not a fire hazard, and not an explosive hazard. Once the reaction is complete, the remaining waste solution can be disposed of in a conventional waste disposal system with no adverse affects. All of these attributes contribute to a safe, compact, and easily usable Oxygen generation system.
