Measuring Ability of Healthy Volunteers to Power a Bicycle-powered Oxygen Concentrator

Completed

Conditions studied: Physical Exertion

In brief

The investigators would like to test how well healthy human volunteers power a modified oxygen concentrator. The investigators modified the oxygen concentrator to be powered by a bicycle instead of wall power so that it can be used in low resource countries where the power supply is unreliable.
