It creates oxygen by removing the nitrogen. It uses zircon. Under pressure it absorbs nitrogen. When the pressure gets to high it drops the pressure and the nitrogen goes back into the room. The oxygen level in the house does not really change.
Thank you. Really interesting technology. I thought only legumes were able to take nitrogen out of the air! ;-)
your description was so real i heard the generator my dad had to use the last years of his life
Yttria stabilized Zirconium Oxide is an oxygen ion-transport electrolyte when heated (600 C), as used in an engine exhaust oxygen sensor, in which a difference in oxygen content creates a voltage. Conversely, applying a voltage across the ceramic membrane will cause oxygen to migrate and concentrate.
Nernst’s ceramic lamp “Glower” was the original challenger to Edison’s carbon filament electric lamp. Nernst’s student “Langmuir” in turn, developed the tungsten filament for Edision, which eventually led to vacuum tube electronics.
