The solar-powered oxygen delivery (SPO2) system consists of a commercially-available oxygen concentrator, charge controller, battery bank, and solar panels to provide medical-grade oxygen from ambient air without the need for reliable grid access. . Powering oxygen Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) plants with solar energy addresses the common challenge of unreliable or absent grid power in low-resource settings. The systems are custom designed by Dr. Michael. . A 2023 World Health Organization report noted that fewer than half of healthcare facilities in sub-Saharan Africa have access to reliable electricity. This single vulnerability can render life-saving equipment useless. Is the introduction of SPO2. . Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in collaboration with the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC) and Orbital Technologies Corporation (Orbitec), proposes to develop the multi-use solar thermal system for oxygen production from lunar regolith. Life supporting oxygen is abundantly available and the cost savings can be re-invested in. .
