Letter Re: Portable Oxygen Condensers
James,
I recently installed an AuraGen
system similar
to the current listing on eBay (#330329068735) onto a customer's Bug Out Vehicle
(BOV), a 1986 Chevrolet Suburban 1 ton (modified
with some parts that were originally incorporated in the M1008 CUCV).
This customer also is afflicted with COPD and
uses a 110 VAC Oxygen generator. The Auragen, being a military designed
system is far more durable, far more
rugged,
and most importantly, far more versatile than an inverter placed into any vehicle
electrical system. Being a mil-spec unit,.EMP is
also not an issue as it meets the military requirements for such use in medical
units for power generation.
At around $1,700 on eBay the end user can add about another
$500-to-$600 for install and miscellaneous parts. I personally have a PTO drive
system in my own
vehicle and have used it in several situations where, as some say "The
Schumer has
hit the rotating impellers", LOL,
powering some mission critical communications, networking, and telecom facilities
for other NGO customers. These are not cheap, but what price is reliable power when lives depend on it? Best Regards,
- Bob S.
