Abstract
Described are oxygen enrichment systems that allow combustion powered vehicles to operate in reduced oxygen environments.
Claims16
An oxygen supplementation system for a combustion engine powered vehicle, the system comprising:
- (a) an oxygen source coupled to the vehicle;
- (b) a regulator fluidically coupled to the oxygen source;
- (c) a flow meter fluidically coupled to the regulator and an intake of the vehicle;
- (d) an ambient air sensor measuring at least an oxygen content of air outside the vehicle;
- and
- (e) a control unit comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an application comprising:
- (i) a flow module receiving a flow rate from the flow meter;
- (ii) an ambient module receiving the oxygen content;
- and
- (iii) a regulating module controlling an output pressure of the regulator based on the flow rate, the oxygen content, or both.

A computer-implemented method of supplementing oxygen to a combustion engine powered vehicle, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving, by a computer, a flow rate of oxygen exiting an oxygen source from an oxygen meter;
- (b) receiving, by the computer, an ambient oxygen content;
- and
- (c) controlling, by the computer, an output pressure of a regulator based on the flow rate, the oxygen content, or both;
- wherein the regulator is fluidically coupled to the oxygen meter, the oxygen source, and an intake of the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an application comprising:
- (a) a flow module receiving a flow rate from a flow meter;
- (b) an ambient module receiving any oxygen content from an ambient air sensor;
- and
- (c) a regulating module controlling an output pressure of a regulator based on the flow rate, the oxygen content, or both.
