Electrolytic Oxygen?

Punk - 2-7-2007 at 15:24

I want to safely and cheaply raise the oxygen level in my room from the natural %20 to around %50 like the casinos do.

Any ideas?

Thanks

:(

Oxygen Generators on Ebay

You too can "Flame On!!"

Or just have a historical reenactment of the Apollo 1 disaster. :o

You must have missed the part whare I said cheap, I already searched ebay before making this thread.

I do not plan on getting the concentration high enough to cause any problems.

Any real chemists left on this site willing to guide a lazy noob?

:mad:

That contradicts your original statement:

Which actually is self-contradictory as concentrations of oxygen above 30% lead to fierce fires, about 35% wet plant matter will burn. At 50% O2 it would be rather difficult to extinguish any fire.

The main methods of producing oxygen enriched air use semi-permeable membranes or pressure swing absorption., as these are the most efficient on a medium scale. Cheap you ain't going to get, unless you stumble over a used unit.

buy a packet of seeds, a bag of compost and some plant pots.
it doesn`t get much cheaper than that!
and it looks nice:)

We don't have much use for LAZY noob Punks here.

If you can be bothered to actually READ through ALL the links you are given, you might learn something.
