How many times have you thought to yourself how great it would be if
you had some spare oxygen in a bag? Perhaps you found yourself in a room of smokers or at the top of a tall mountain (or both?) and thought to yourself: “Gosh, my brain cells sure could use some of the good stuff!”
Well, Ymup, a Japanese company has developed technology that will allow you to have just that, in the form of the oxygen-generating (oxygenerating?) Oxycool 32–a somewhat diminutive little box that can sit on a desk, countertop, or just about anywhere else.
The device, itself, is small enough to fit on a desk or in a backpack.
There have been reports that Ymup plans a battery operated version that will put this device inside a backpack, allowing you to get 30% oxygenated air flowing into your nose on-the-go. This version comes with a remote so you don’t have to take the pack off to control what you’re breathing.
According to the official details page for the Oxycool 32 (translated
here by Yahoo’s BabelFish) it’s possible to get oxygen out of the thing for an hour straight, on batteries, one assumes. Meanwhile, it also makes the claim that it can be run continuously. There is also an version that allows you to charge for specific lengths of time for it to run, assuming you want to charge for, you know, air.
Regular flavored oxygen just not interesting enough for you? Ymup also has perfumes available for the Oxycool 32, allowing you to liven your air flow up a bit.
You can expect to get 3 liters of oxygen per minute out of the thing
depending on temperature and atmospheric pressure (again, according to the official details page). It weighs just
shy of nine pounds and there are no details on their site regarding
how the portable, battery-operated version will differ. One assumes
the only change will be the weight of the battery.
So, if you’re finding that you’re just not getting enough oxygen in your diet, and you live in Japan, consider the Oxycool 32.
