smiles Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I see a machine used to create oxygen with high concentration, means larger than 21%, I just want to ask what is its utility in hospital, why need high concentration, and why they let oxygen flow into a bottle with some water in it ? Thanks !
insane_alien Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 well, it is possible to have a condition which makes it harder for you to get oxygen(through decreased absorbtion rate, fluid in the lungs, shallow breathing, etc. etc.) so the easiest way to counter this is to use higher concentrations of O2 in the air they breathe. the oxygen bubbles through water so it picks up a moisture content. if you have ever breathed a dessicated atmosphere you will know why this is done. it is horrible to breathe a completely dry gas. your mouth is constantly dry and it can adversely affect your lungs. seeing as there is a problem with the lungs in the use case of high O2 concentrations, you definately don't want them also breathing a dry atmosphere. 1
smiles Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks !!! I will ask if I have any questions related to it
Seadragons Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 There are ways to create oxygen by separating Hydrogen from Oxygen in H2O by using wire and two nine volt batteries stuck together in one side and wires on the other. Then you put a balloon on the water bottle top.

John Cuthber Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 The other merit of bubbling the air through water is that you can see that the gas is flowing.
