A vast percentage of the oxygen we breathe is created by algae, so the 'Summit' oxygen generator is designed to utilize this natural oxygen source to keep it on-hand.
Designed by Evan McDougall, the 'Summit' generator works by being filled with algae water that can provide up to 600-liters of fresh oxygen. This makes it ideal for those that are heading out on a hiking trek to effectively ensure that oxygen is always available when users reach altitudes where it's scarce.
The 'Summit' oxygen generator utilizes LEDs on the interior to mimic the effect of sunlight on the algae to convert CO2 to oxygen. This allows the unit to be a much more natural alternative to traditional oxygen tanks and is inherently more lightweight to carry.
