Development of a new oxygen generator

The need for medical oxygen is ever-increasing due to increasing air pollution, environmental pollution, fossil-based dirty fuels, pandemics, etc. Although using oxygen cylinders is the common practice for meeting oxygen demands for patients who need oxygen, this approach is not a permanent solution and is associated with numerous complications. There is a certain need for proper and affordable solutions for meeting the oxygen demand constantly for the patients since they need it constantly. Conversely, while there are oxygen generators available in the market, they have certain shortcomings that necessitate resolution in order to facilitate optimal operation and affordability. Hence, the present project aims to develop a novel and mobile oxygen generator for medical purposes. The following novelties and innovations will be developed and included in the device to be developed: (i) The device will be fully mobile with a size of backpack. (ii) The thermally managed battery pack will be developed and included. (iii) The device will be operated silently. (iv) An automatic control system will be included for better operation.
