Abstract
A vehicle oxygen generating system includes a heat source, a power source, a vehicle air handling assembly of a vehicle air conditioning system, an H2O source and an electrochemical oxygen producing device. The oxygen producing device is connected to the H2O source receiving H2O therefrom. The oxygen producing device uses heat from the heat source and electricity from the power source to produce H2 and O2 from H2O. The O2 produced by the oxygen producing device is directed to the vehicle air handling assembly and moved into a passenger compartment of a vehicle.
Claims19
A vehicle oxygen generating system, comprising:
